If HandleError is set to "Ignore", can we also return a successful error code (0) too? (Or maybe add an option to enable this).

I am running FFS in batch mode and the sync requires the DST folder to be created (which is classed an "error" by FFS), but in this case, I want FFS to return success (0) instead if (2).

EDIT: Perhaps an alternative way would be to add an option to auto-create the destination folder and NOT generate an error at all.

Thoughts?

@Zenju: Any thoughts on this? Would it be possible to somehow differentiate between an error from the destination folder not existing and all other errors?

I use FFS daily to transport data via USB-Stick, where usually the target folder does not exist, so it get's quite a nuisance to hit, "yes, create it" over and over again.
PLEASE, add an option for autocreate.

Hopefully we can get this in v8.2 :)
I'm sure there are others too who would find this feature useful.

New behavior as of FFS 10.2: FFS will report not yet existing folders as warning (that can be ignored), while all errors that occured while trying to determine the folder status are still reported as such.
