After FFS 11.8 for Windows is installed, the FFS and RTS executables in the Bin subfolder are properly identified as version 11.8.0.0 dated 2021-03-03, but the referring executables in the parent folder are still identified as version 11.7.0.0 dated 2021-03-01.

This is causing SUMo (and possibly other application-update checkers) to incorrectly flag FreeFileSync (and RealTimeSync) as being out of date, which in turn results in time wasted on unnecessary troubleshooting.

Otherwise, it seems like FFS continues to be pretty awesome — thanks!

Thanks, Zenju. I apologize for not spotting this in earlier posts. There's an easy fix for false-positives in SUMo, once you're certain that the flagged program is in fact up to date, and your earlier posts confirm that it is.
