Create script to only compare folders

[SipriusPT]

Hello guys,

I am trying to create a batch script under FreeFileSync just to compare two folders every 24hours.

From what I am seeing I can only compare and sync after, but cannot find a way to avoid the sync part. =/

    <Comparison>
            <Variant>TimeAndSize</Variant>
            <Symlinks>Exclude</Symlinks>
            <IgnoreTimeShift/>
        </Comparison>
        <SyncConfig>
            <Variant>TwoWay</Variant>
            <CustomDirections>
                <LeftOnly>none</LeftOnly>
                <RightOnly>none</RightOnly>
                <LeftNewer>none</LeftNewer>
                <RightNewer>none</RightNewer>
                <Different>none</Different>
                <Conflict>none</Conflict>
            </CustomDirections>
            <DetectMovedFiles>true</DetectMovedFiles>
            <DeletionPolicy>RecycleBin</DeletionPolicy>
            <VersioningFolder Style="Replace"/>
        </SyncConfig>

i agree with you.

Just use a ffs_gui file instead of a ffs_batch file and FreeFileSync will run a comparison without also starting synchronization.

thank you very much Zenju, it works like a charm!

This FreeFileSync is such a massive tool!
