Hi Zenju.

I have a little "prayer" for you.

Would it be possible in a future version, to make it optional (like a checkmark in a square) or something like that,
to make the sync.ffs_db a "system file", not only a hidden file.
Many people have "show hidden files" in windows, activated.

But system files hidden.

In a near future, I'm going to have 2 desktop computers synchronize, including the Desktop folder.
And I would really like to avoid having the sync.ffs_db file, visible on my Desktop.


Alternative, something like this suggestion : viewtopic.php?t=5065
would also be fine.

Best regards.

=> Maybe ... this is a good case for you to enter a custom "on completion" command like "attrib sync.ffs_db +s"

Yes, I have tried that... But every time it synchronizes again, FFS make the sync.ffs_db a non-system file again.

Every time, there's a change in the database file.

But you mean, that I should put that in my .bat file? :)

Can you put the command line in a ffs_bacth file?

"on completion" can be entered in the sync settings dialog.
