Hi,
I would like to ask if the list of the sync tasks could have some better sorting - for example if there would be optin to create folder and have the syns task insside thos folders which would be even collapsable (hide and show tte task in that folder) that would be excellent

Also I miss (at least I do not see it anywhere) option to duplicate existing task, where I would change the name and just the source location / folder.

Thanks a lot

Simply open an existing saved (*.ffs_gui or *.ffs_batch) sync configuration in FFS, modify what needs to be modified, and then save that modified sync configuration under another name.

Alternatively, in your file manager (e.g. Windows File Exploree or MacOS Finder) copy your existing saved (*.ffs_gui or *.ffs_batch) sync configuration, having another name, but retaining its extension.
Then open that copied sync configuration in FFS, modify modify what needs to be modified, and then save that modified sync configuration.
