Hello,
I'm using FFS 5.5. Is it possible to show - after a comparison - only files
which will be copied ?
Actually, all files are showed.

Thanks in advance

The view filters are at the bottom of the dialog.

Thanks for the reply. I send my question too quickly :-)

Is it possible to put this feature in the configuration file ? I prefer to see
only files which will be copied. (especially when working with a netbook)

I assume you are using some variant like "update" or "custom". For "mirror" or
"automatic" there is no such problem since everything that is shown will be
synced. For "update" there are two possibilites: show what is different
(current default) or only show what needs syncin' (= hide sync direction
"none"). Now it doesn't seem to be worthwhile to add view filters to the
configuration file as these are volatile settings. Therefore the question is
what is the best default. In general showing all files that are different
rather than only those that need to be synced seems more useful.

Yes, it was for some configuration using the "update method".
Thank you for your reply.
