Can't get started!!!

Brand newbie - I have installed FFS, but when I start it, I get the "Start" screen. I then specify the "folder to watch". It tells me to "just import a "ffs_batch" file, but gives no clue as how to do that, nor does it give any help with the command line. What have I missed? BTW, my circular arrows in the logo are red instead of green, if that means any thing. I would be thankful for the explanation, but would like a pointer to the documentation also. Much thanks, John

You are in RTS, not FFS

What does that mean? I downloaded and installed FreeFileSync_11.18_Windows_Setup.exe, is that not FreeFileSync?

Installer should have thrown out two different icons.
One is FreeFileSync, the other is RealTimeSync.

Click the FreeFileSync one.
And... read up, Manual.

Deleted & reinstalled. That did it! Thanks for your help.
