Version 4.5 fails to sync when source is NAS

Posts: 3 · rekees 19 Dec 2011, 19:16

Upgraded from version 4.2 to 4.5. No problem with 4.2 but 4.5 has a MAJOR
bug.

Function = (File time and size)
Sync Type = (Mirror->>)

When the Compare is performed using 4.2 the source and destination folders
are in sync. There are 11,586 rows.

When the Compare is performed using 4.5 with the same folders, the source
Filename, Size & Date are blank for 4,029 of 11,586 rows. Therefore, if a
Synchronize is performed the 4,029 rows are deleted (not copied).

This problem only occurs when the source device is a network NAS device.
If the source device is a normal internal or external disk the sync works
without any problem. It appears for whatever reason Freefilesync Version
4.5 fails to retrieve file information from some (but not all) of the
files in the source folder.

Thanks for replying. Version 4.6 beta is the "fix". Don't know how to download
it. When will the tested 4.6 be available that can be downloaded using
Freefilesync --> Help --> Check for new version ?

>Don't know how to download it.
You "request the download ticket", enter the captcha and download.

The official v4.6 will be released on christmas.
