Hi,
I am using 2 way synchronization feature.
Below are the environment Details
OS : Linux Mint ( 5.4.0-53-generic Kernel )
Source File System : EXT4
Destination File System : EXT4

I have installed FreeFileSync from the FlatHub.
FreeFileSync is not able to detect file move. It is treating file move as delete and create operation.
Please help me with this.

Thanks

Thanks Zenju
But in Two way sync "Detect moved files" is already selected by default.

download/file.php?mode=view&id=1629

Doesn't EXT use inode/IDs that aren't stable, thus can't be used for detection?
