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.

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 ?

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.
