Facing the error 121 ("semaphore timeout period expired") issue.

Hi,

I use FFS to sync 2 folders on 2 computers linked through an unstable network: some days the ping results shows some 2% packet loss. The sync process lasts for 20 minutes when the network is stable. When it's not the sync process always fails with ffs errors like :
- Windows Error code 121 : the semaphore timeout period has expired. (+)
- "Unable to open directory xxxxx" Windows Error code 53 - Directory not found

It might be a bit tricky to add some functionnality about that, but maybe you could add some "timeout" function, that suspends the sync process on the very first 121 error code, and tries again with the same file for 5 or 10 times every 2 sec (well this would be setup in the parameters) before applying the definitive failure treatment.

Am I clear about that ? (sorry, english is not my first language)

See menu->tools: options for "automatic retry on error"

Ok, that's a good news, I'll check that asap...

Thank you
