Hello,

I have a lot of mirroring jobs and some are backing up read-only network share, others are backing up local directories.
With the default value of LockDirectoriesDuringSync (true) I am getting errors for the jobs that are backing up a read-only network share. However setting this to false affects all jobs.
Besides that, it will be good to be able to disable locking only for the source directory, which may be read-only. The target directory should always be writable so locking will not be a problem.

That's why I don't think that a global option is feasible for this feature.

P.S. I like FreeFileSync a lot and I use it on my personal computers and on my work PC. However, each time I update it, the ESET Antivirus detects a threat in Fusion.dll and I get contacted by my employer about this. I know that it's hard to fund the project if you don't offer to install additional software, but there may be a better way to do it in order to avoid these alerts.

Best Regards!
