Hi, I would like to request a feature, where there could be an option, that the currently copied file is checked for integrity after it is copied.

I have 3 files, after the first one is copied the program makes a binary check if the files integrity is correct and matching with source.

I know it might be looking kind of pointless, but I do move a lot, and I mean a lot of data, and also am repairing recovered data from bad disks etc. So it would be nice, that there would be an option to chcek the files right away after they are copied rather than copy the whole thing, and than do a separate binary scan. It would save some time, because I wont be needed to stay at my PC to check, if the copy ended, and than start the check.

Have you tried the "Verify Copied Files" option? You have to change the entry in GlobalSettings.xml from
<VerifyCopiedFiles Enabled="false"/>
to
<VerifyCopiedFiles Enabled="true"/>

The GlobalSettings.xml file should be located in your AppData\Roaming\FreeFileSync folder
