Hello all.
I have a question about the when RealTimeSync runs.
I have prepared the system so that the files are synced after 50 seconds of the files being changed.
My doubt is if the system is scanning the folders every 50 sec to check if something has changed; or if this check is triggered by the changes made to the file.
Was I clear on exposing my doubt?
Thank you.

Well, I was trying to understand how the system works so that I could choose the better settings in terms of performance for the computer.
Probably, I did not express myself clearly or, the way this kind of software works is too simple so even a noob should understand it, or, it is an important secret that must be kept at all cost.
Thank you anyway.

RealTimeSync registers an event listener with the operating system so that it is informed about file system changes as they occur. This avoids additional file I/O related to RealTimeSync, which is probably the whole point of this tool; otherwise you could just have had FreeFileSync run in a loop.
RealTimeSync's "Idle Time" is not a delay, but a time span without any other file accesses.files are synced after 50 seconds of the files being changed.descobrir
