How to delete a sync configuration?

Posts: 9 · maccarter 7 Nov 2014, 16:28

I have some sync configurations that I want to delete. I cannot find a command to do it nor do they delete by simply hitting the DELETE key. I'm on a Mac with OS 10.10.

I still would like to know how to delete a sync configuration in FreeFileSync. I do not see any “DELETE” command. I am on an Apple Macbook Pro. The normal delete key command has no effect on sync configurations.

The "delete" key *should* work, but I can confirm it does not on OS X, which looks like a wxWidgets bug. I'll investigate this.
Until then you can manually right-click on the panel and then select to delete configurations.

The issue has been fixed in the new beta. Let me know in case you find any issues:

I tested the beta file you sent. The Delete key still has no effect on a listed configuration. Were you expecting it to remove it?

Any progress on fixing this issue? The beta version you sent did not fix it as far as I can tell.

Maybe you tested with the wrong version? In the beta above the delete key should work, confirmed on OS X 10.10.

I am using the version you sent me -- "Ver 6.12 Build Nov 19 2014 - Unicode x64". I have tried it many times. The DELETE key does not perform any action. Combination keys like Command Delete also do not cause a delete of a configuration. Nothing yet causes a delete.

Macbook Pro, OS 10.10.1

By trial and error, I have learned that the only key combination that will DELETE a sync configuration is Fn-Delete (Function key plus Delete key). The Delete key alone does nothing. I am using Ver 6.12 on OS 10.10.1

Slight correction... there are two ways to delete a saved configuration on an Apple computer with OS 10.10: 1) Control Click (Right Click) on the configuration and delete it; and 2) Function key AND Delete key. Just hitting the DELETE key does nothing.
