Hi,

I use FFS sometimes and would like to suggest 2 evolution.
Instead of create a FFS for each project separately, I prefer to create one FFS global configuration for multiple project. Then I can synchronize all my project simultaneously once a day for example. In this case, when you have numbers of synchronized pairs of folders, It could be very useful to be able to:
1) When you create a exclusion filter, be able to create this filter only for the pair of folder concerned. I suggest that it could be the default functioning of the filter creation... ;
2) Be able to synchronize independently only a pair instead of systematically synchronize all the pairs. the comparison phase can be slow for some project, especially via network. Actually I have to remove all the pairs I don't want to synchronize to have one pair synchronized rapidly. Then I have to be careful to not save/erase the global configuration!
Best,
yuri

> 1) When you create a exclusion filter, be able to create this filter only for the pair of folder concerned.
This already available. You can define Global Include and Exclude Filter settings (F7 or the big funnel-icon mid above the left-right pair definitions). These act as the "default" filter settings for each left-right pair but one can, on a per left-right pair basis, use Local Filter settings via the funnel icon in between each left-right pair.

2) instead, and likely simpler and less "risky" than your present approach, you can select multiple (saved) sync configurations to be run.

Thank you very much, I didn't know it was possible to synchronize multiple configurations at once.
It is certainly a better approch!
