Why are multiple instances of Real Time Sync running simultaneously?

[wsalopek]

Hi folks,

For some reason, after I set up Real Time Sync, it runs 3 instances of the same folder pair (with two of them "locked", I suppose, because the first one is scanning/running).

Why are 3 instances running? How do I eliminate the 2 that are not needed?

Thanks...

I had the same problem. I was starting RealTimeSync from a .ffs_real file. Syncing worked, but I got multiple instances. Instead of starting from a .ffs_real file, create a shortcut where the target is just the command line from the .ffs_real file. Contents of the command line, if not clear, are "path to RealTimeSync.exe program file" "path to .ffs.batch file" (include the quotation marks and the space between the two paths). Run the shortcut to start monitoring, put in shell:startup to automatically run when the system starts.

e.g., "C:\Program Files\FreeFileSync\RealTimeSync.exe" "C:\Documents\FreeFileSync.ffs_batch"
