(First, many thanks to developers for FreeFileSync)
Not sure this improvement has been requested. Sorry if it is a duplicate.
I often found annoying there is no "Delete the configuration file on disk" command in the popup menu,
over the configuration file list. And there is a limited capability for managing the Job files in FFS.
Currently, we have "Hide configuration" (the job is hidden from the job list) only.
But I would like to have more commands, like "Delete on disk" and similar.
For example, I made sometimes a duplicate of Job file from the filesystem, then I open it with "Open", and modify the configuration. Other times I want to delete the Job old-file, and I need to browse again the filesystem for this simple operation. Etc.
It would be more easy to have all these basic operations on configuration files from FFS itself.

Ideally, we could have a submenu (similar to "Background color") so we get all filesystem options.
So when we right-click on a Job configuration, the popup menu would contain a option + sub-options:
Menu:
Rename
Manage... >>
Background color...>>
Sub-menu from "Manage....":
> Hide from interface
> Delete from disk .......................... (with confirmation dialog + Button to open Explorer)
> Duplicate Job (on disk AND interface)... (with new-name dialog, using #1 appended to previous name)
> (etc.)
> Add Job description .........................(this request appears in a recent topic. I agree.)
Something intuitive and flexible to allow operations that otherwise require to go to Explorer-
Again, many thanks for your attention !
