Since updating from 6.09 to 6.10 I am getting

Warning: Multiple folder pairs write to a common subfolder. Please review your configuration.

in all my log files. The ffs_batch files are the same before and after.

What gives?

That's a warning about your folder pair configuration not being correct - you cannot have different folders write to the same target folder.

That's a warning about your folder pair configuration not being correct - you cannot have different folders write to the same target folder.Zenju

The Warning is wrong, the folder pairs aren't the same, I get the warning when the folder pairs are different physical drives

I repeat, in 6.09 this didn't happen, in 6.10 it does. The batch files didn't change.

You have invented a warning. Why?

Please post a screenshot of your folder pair configuration.

I don't think you are asking for what you want. A screenshot makes no sense as I see the warning in a log file.

is this what you really wanted ?

<FolderPairs>
<Pair>
<Left/>
<Right/>
</Pair>
<Pair>
<Left>C:\Documents and Settings\Wm</Left>
<Right>F:\Documents and Settings\Wm</Right>
</Pair>
<Pair>
<Left>C:\E</Left>
<Right>F:\E</Right>
</Pair>
</FolderPairs>

Yes and thanks. That's a bug in FFS, working on a fix...

Had the same problem, though ignoring the warning was all it took, it still synced up just fine. Downloaded and tried the new beta and the problem is fixed. Thanks!

Could you put the 6.11 Beta version online again? I get a File not found (404 error) when clicking on the link above. Thanks.

Hello ;-)
I am a new user and got the issue while syncing TWO folders - only while having OPENED files in them -
As I could not ad a screenshot here:
Some files were part of multiple folderpairs.
To avoid conflicts you should set expclusionfilters so that each actual file will be included in one folder pair only.

Interesting is that I did the ONE WAY sync - and it occurs ONLY while having open files in the source 8-)

Never minded because I testes with system folders - in user data folders it did not occur 8-)

Maybe somebody could explain?
