After my last job, copy hd to ssd, using FFS all my files icons were left changed. My file icons now have the FFS arrows, that are like two arrows with the two arrows coming together, after the copying in the upper right corner. I checked the program option settings and the FAQ and the forum and could not find a solution. Is there way to fix this aside from doing a brute force batch job?

Can you post a screenshot of the icons?
Is the problem occurring for the source icons, destination icons, or both?
Have you tried clearing thumbnail cache or restarting the computer?

Screenshot attached.
I disconnected the source, but this image is from the destination drive.
Cleaned thumbnails, restarted computer, reset FFS from having these saved project to something new, and deleted FFS log.

Those have nothing to do with FFS. That icon means Windows has decided to compress those files to save space. Either you did that or, more likely, you are running out of space.

Oh my do I feel dumb. Well thanks for your help. Just saw what could pass for FFS arrows and made an assumption.
