Searching finds no files to synchronize on Mac M1, but there are many...

Hi, I've been using FFS for many years now and recently changed my Mac to a new MacBook Air with M1 processor with Monterrey OS.

In this new environment, when comparing files for sync, FFS returns no files to synchronize... Very weird as I even tried an empty folder in one side to make sure there was a difference.

With respect to the environment, I have a UGREEN hub connected via USB-C port and its has a 2TB SSD installed on it.
I am trying to synchronize that SSD with a backup disk on my network plugged to an AIRPORT wifi router.

A similar synchronization worked perfectly on my i5 Mac on similar conditions. The only difference was that I had a regular disk, not an SSD.

I am able to drag/drop large folders that take hours and thousands of files without a glitch (except the time) so the communication between both worlds works fine.

I checked the filters to make sure I was no excluding all files somehow but they are fine.

I also tried running FFS natively or under Roseta, same result...

Any tips, clues, suggestions? Anyone else facing the same?
Thanks in advance.

How are you selecting the locations is FFS? Best way is to click 'Browse' and select them graphically.

Folks, I feel ashamed of not finding an error in the file selection filter. As expected, FFS is working fine now.
Thank you.
