Please build a windows option in the next build of FFS, my copy of FFS has its top half stuck off screen on my mac and I can't drag it over or resize it. normally when an app does this, I can use the window's option to zoom it back on screen, but since FFS doesn't have that option built in I am stuck.

What version of FreeFileSync are you using? From your description this sounds like an already solved issue. If reproducible, can you post your GlobalSettings.xml?

Press ALT-TAB until the FFS window is selected.
Press ALT-SPACE once.
Press M.
Press any of the 4 arrow keys once, then move the mouse to relocate the window as desired.
The window title bar will be attached to the mouse pointer, left click to release it.

This procedure has been around since the days of Windows NT and will work for pretty much any window.

Chrome99 is not using Windows NT if you read the question (unless he's using a Windows emulator). He means the 'windows' (small w) on his mac.

Chrome99 - the answer is holding down option + green button on the top left of your window. Enjoy!

Ps - yeah, would be good to have the standard Mac 'window' item added in future updates.
