FreeFileSync is executed from the programme path "C:\Programme&Tools\FreeFileSync".
When RealTimeSync is called, an error is always output that the path cannot be found.
I'm afraid it's the "&" character.
I would like to keep this path structure (portable programmes).

Indeed both parts (the exe and the ffs_batch file) should be enclosed in double-quotes. You can do this manually, but this will also be fixed in the next FFS release.

Thank you for the quick reply.
The programme path with double quotes is not taken over correctly. I have entered the programme path in 8.3 format. This is how it works.

C:\PR66E5~1\FREEFI~1\REALTI~1.EXE "C:\Programme&Tools\FreeFileSync\Sync.ffs_gui-back.ffs_batch"

Not the RealTimeSync.exe, but the FreeFileSync.exe needs double-quoting.

Double quotes for the EXE are not taken over in shortcuts, batch file or command prompt.
Using 8.3 format at least works, but I am waiting for the next release.

The version 11.28 now works as desired. Thank you (and new donation)
