Error Message

Posts: 8 · muelli1975 5 Dec 2010, 17:34

Hello,

first of all: great program; I don't know what I'd do without it!
When I synchronize directories, during the synchronization process FFS shows
the message "Verbleibende Elemente 1 (Fehler)" (in englich: remaining objects
1 (error)). The synchonization ends successfully, but what does the
"(error)"-message mean?
Best regards and thank you for the great software!

It means that there was an error during synchronization for one element
(=file). You probably have checked "ignore errors", so that synchronization
finishes and skips the error. The detailed error description is also shown in
the summary at the end.

No, I haven't checked "ignore errors" and the synchronization finished without
problems; I#ve got the info Info: "Synchronisation finishes properly!" (in
german). I synchronized two big files (OSM-Maps), which were in the standard-
windows-7-download-folder, and both of them were copied properly. Just the
message "(error)" during the copying-process.

Best regards,
Christoph

Okay, I think I've got it:

Thanks for the screenshot! This is a display-only error, nevertheless I'd like
to know where it is coming from. The place in brackets where it says "error"
is supposed to show the remaining bytes to copy. For same reason it cannot
format the filesize it gets. Is this display problem reproducible? If so, how?

Hmm, I first thougt that It occurs when I copy a file that was downloaded from
the internet and that was blocked (see last screenshot), because the error
wasn't displayed when I "allowed" the usage of the file in the file
properties. But I can't really reproduce it (tested it with another file).

Best regards,
Christoph

Unfortunately I'm not able to reproduce this issue neither. The correct number
is calculated by subtracting "bytes transferred" from "total bytes to copy".
"Error" is shown if this value is negative or very, very large (also due to an
error). In practice these two cases should never occur, but obviously they did
in your case.
Please keep me up to date if this issue reappears or (hopefully!) is
reproducible.
