Hello.

Using RealTimeSync to have scheduled backups works great, until you need force the sync, for that you have to open FreeFileSync itself.

It would be very handy if we could right click on RTS icon in tray and have a command to execute the task right now (aka zeroing the idle timer)

Thank you.

What is the benefit of being able to manually trigger RealTimeSync to start an FFS sync
over directly manually starting/triggering an FFS sync?

For one it's more convenient, we don't have to hunt for the FFS executable, especially if it's portable and not accessible via start menu. Sure we can create shortcuts and such, still we'd have to abandon what we are doing and open FFS.
Finally it's faster, since RTS is already there.
