How come when running a sync using an .ffs_batch job from a batch file the "Last Sync" # of days doesn't get updated. It only appears to update if the sync job is run from the GUI. I thought this worked before but can't be sure.

Does that .ffs_batch job run under the same user credentials as when running it from the GUI?

Most likely a race condition: the GlobalSettings.xml file is loaded on FFS start and saved when FFS exits. So when you run batch jobs while the FFS GUI is open, it will overwrite the changes made by the batch jobs in GlobalSettings.xml once you close the GUI. => to be solved by FFS.

This bug is still present. So irritating. It's now 2021-03-21, and I'm running the latest version, FreeFileSync 11.8 - 64-Bit - Mar 3, 2021. The last 4 or 5 versions have all had the problem, and random versions prior to that also had the the issue which is what's kept me from purchasing the paid version of FFS. I'll consider buying a paid version when this is permanently fixed.
