First of all thanks for a brilliant piece of software

I sometimes sync files from system folders, so obviously writing lock files to these is not possible.
Of course i get the error:

Cannot set directory lock for [folder].
Cannot write file sync.ffs_lock.
Error Code 5: Access is denied. (CreateFile)

I click ignore and the sync works fine, however afterwards there are only two entries when i click the 'log' tab: The above error and "Synchronisation finished with warnings", with no information about any of the files that were affected during the sync.

If there is at least one error or warning, FreeFileSync will set the message filter to show these instead of the info catgegory. Message filters are user-configurable, see left side of the dialog.
