Hi Zenju,
Thanks for the latest version of FFS.
Just an enquiry of interest (and certainly NOT A COMPLAINT).
Is there any chance, in future, that you may give Users an Option to choose whether to display the SFTP buttons or not.
I ask purely, so that the GUI can be a little less busy for those who never use/likely to never use this much requested SFTP enhancement to FFS.
Regards, Dave

Yes, the SFTP settings should be less dominant in a future version, but for now it's probably a good idea to get some awareness for this major new feature. In the mid-term a better solution needs to be found anyway when additional options are added, e.g. a dialog with explicit username and password for network shares.

Thanks for the very fast reply and insight to your thinking. Much appreciated.
I agree making them obvious initially is a good move coz I noticed them and had a look.
Usually for my needs, FFS has always works very well (basic home PC)and much of the great work you do on important features for many advanced Users and/or Systems with much more demanding needs are not always apparent to me but a visual change to GUI certainly is :).
Not that there have not been several really helpful to me (one or two in the past asked for by me -thank you). The change you did to the GUI, not that long ago, allowing us to re-arrange pairs I found really helpful.
Of all the Apps I have on my PC (outside MS Office and Windows) 2 of my most used and favourite are FreeFileSync and Free Download Manager. I love them, not because they are Free, (which is great of course) but because they are both so helpful and do so much for me. Nothing will make me look elsewhere unless they ceased working and I had no choice.
Thanks Zenju for FreeFileSync which saves me so much time, has saved me many times. Its nice knowing when I experiment I can restore my FFS backed up files afterwards if needed. Great and fast protection.
