First of all, thanks for creating great sync program for free.

I think I found a bug with variable drive letter. Say I want to backup d:\vm
to m:\vm (\vm in destination). This works fine if I run job via m:\VM.ffs_gui.
Now if I close FreeFileSync, and reopen again by running the exe, program will
reload last configuration, which is VM.ffs_gui, but destination drive is now
d:\vm.

IMHO, if the program cannot get the drive letter right when opening the last
session, you might as well not reopen it at all.

Thanks.

When using relative path names the application will evaluate them relative to
the current working directory. In the two cases you describe this creates some
unexpected behavior, but in general it is not a bug.
A better way to achieve what you want is to reference the volumes by their
names, see helpfile->advanced->variable drive letters
