Hi,

I miss an option to perform synchronization under a different user account.

This would be useful if you don't want have write access to the target (eg NAS) under the actually user account for security reasons.

At least in Windows, you can achieve this yourself by using the "runas" command ...
See http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/runas.mspx?mfr=true
Your "program" here would be something like "C:\Program Files\FreeFileSync\FreeFileSync.exe" "H:\some folder\SyncJob.ffs_batch"
Instead of pointing to a *.ffs_batch file, you might also point to a *.ffs_gui file.
