Is there a way to ignore the file extensions for files inside folders I want to sync? I have a folder full of JPGs and a folder full of TIFs that I want to sync but I want the TIFs to overwrite the JPGs, not add them to the JPG folder. Is this possible?
Thank you,
Lloyd

FFS can not determine if JPGs have a TIF counterpart, and if so only copy the TIF version.
If _all_ your JPGs have a TIF counterpart, you can simply exclude the JPGs from your sync by adding *.jpg to your exclude filter.

Thank you for the reply but that's not really what I meant. I don't want FreeFileSync to ignore jpg or tif files, I'd like it to ignore the file EXTENSIONS only so I can compare tif files in one folder to jpg files in another folder and only compare the root filenames. Does that make sense (I sometimes don't explain things very well).

Re-reading your initial posting, your intended use might have been hiding in there ... ;-)
However, your intended use does not seem to be part of FFS's present features.
To be honest, I am not aware of any readily available tool that would be able to do this.
Sounds like a nice batch or shell-script task ...
