Anyway to have the popup stay minimized when syncing?

[jepoore]

Enjoy the program. Bothersome when the windows keep popping up over other windows every time something changes. Is there any way to have these stay minimized or keep from popping up at every change? Thanks so much! jack ":-Dx

ha! I opened this thinking it was another question similar to mine. How dumb ... it was my question of a few days back. Well seems to me this can be controlled only at the creation of the batch file. I can see no way to change it later. So when you create the batch file choose RUN MINIMIZED and that should do it.

Just click on the "save as a batch job" button again.

Open the saved batch file in a text editor and look for the following lines:

    <BatchConfig>
        <HandleError>Ignore</HandleError>
        <RunMinimized>false</RunMinimized>
        <LogfileFolder Limit="-1"></LogfileFolder>
    </BatchConfig>


Change false between the RunMinimized tags to true and save.

alwaysfroosh, I can't believe I was googling the same question here in 2022 and found my original post from 2015 asking the same thing. Then I see you posted a solution just this past Jan 2022 to my 2015 post. Now that dedication. lol

Here's the reason I was posting it again. It's doing the same thing as described above. So that's what brought me here and then seeing your answer. It appears someone suggested that back there in 2015 and I see I have it set up this modified way and it's still popping up and staying open. I have it running from a scheduled task. When task scheduler asks for trigger should there be an operator in this argument below? In there to cause it to run minimized and then close??

"C:\Program Files\FreeFileSync\FreeFileSyncSettings.ffs_batch" Maybe after the word 'batch'?

That is not what you want to be the trigger. The trigger shouldn't be the thing you are trying to schedule.
