Hi,

is there a way to prevent FFS from creating those files in a source folder?

I searched the forums and found nothing suitable.

In my use case the computer has only reading rights in the (left) source folder and FFS will give me "warnings" every time syncing because it cannot create those files.
I'm using the mirror option which does never write anything to the left side so there is no reason for FFS in trying to create this files.
I checked the option to ignore errors but the warnings will still go into the log file.

I think this is a common use case and wonder why there is no way to tell FFS that the source folder is read-only.


thanks.

Change
<LockDirectoriesDuringSync Enabled="true"/>
from "true" into "false"

Ok, well hidden :)
Thank you!

Feature Request:
Can we have this as an option per source folder?

Maybe there are use cases where someone needs both (depending on the folder) and then a global option does not help much...
