Hi,
the RTS tutorial demonstrates that RTS is able only to act on files just changed, without performing a full scan first. Unfortunately I am not able to setup RTS accordingly. Likely I am missing a suitable ffs_batch script.
Is there any guide available how to setup RTS correctly or does anyone has an example script, which I may adapt accordingly ?
BTW: I am using version 9.5
Thanks

Have a look at the tutorial videos for "Mirror" and "RealTimeSync":

Ok, originally I understood that RTS besides getting triggered on a file change, it additionally receives the name of the changed file. By this allowing RTS to omit the compare / scan. It was strengthened by the RTS tutorial video, which shows processing of changes within a few seconds, while my trials sometimes end up with about 2 minutes.
Nevertheless, when revisiting the documentation now, it becomes clear to me, that this assumption is not true. Rather the difference might be that within the tutorial likely much less files are to be compared than in my case with about 63,000 files.
So, I am going to take this behaviour and I configured RTS just with an idle time of 120 secs, which is doing fine then.
