I installed FFS released Feb 4, 2013 on windows 7.

Noticed the following:

1. Started it and did a mirror synch. No problems. Left it open on my desktop.
2. Made some changes in my left folder, then after 4 hrs I decided I want to
update my right folder with the changes. I click on the synch button again.
3. Now FFS returned immediately saying it completed OK ! But actually it did not
do anything.
4. Closed FFS and restarted it. And now I clicked on the synch button again,
and now it worked and actually updated the right folder with all the changes
I made to the left folder.

Second small issue:
Under synch settings, I click on the 'Ignore' button under the 'Error
handling'. But when I run it, it does stop and give me a popup window
on a file that have been giving me hard time on the left folder (some
bad file that I can't delete or remove for some reason). Any way,
I click ignore on the popup menu and it complete fine.

thanks

You need to click on "compare" again after you did changes on any side.

> handling'. But when I run it, it does stop and give me a popup window

Are you sure you clicked "ok" after you set error handling to "ok"? I am
not able to reproduce this problem.
