Re: .deb package for Ubuntu
I thought Linux guys are used to compile stuff :) Should be pretty easy following the compile instructions, or did you face some difficulties?

Re: Problem with batch files as scheduled task
Yes, I have tried both ways. In non-silent mode the task still shows as running after I click OK. In silent mode the task still shows as running even after the freefilesync executable has disappeared from task manager. Could you test if this behaviour is specific to FreeFileSync by scheduling some ...

Re: Problem with batch files as scheduled task
Have you activated the silent mode? If not there will be a status window at the end of the process which is open until someone clicks OK.

Re: A question and a problem
I like FreeFileSync and appreciate the work that has gone into it. #1: A question: Is there any way for multiple sync setups to be stored in one ffs_batch file? ie: two <MainConfig> groups?

Re: Dates not updating / Ignore dates
I've just tested and can confirm the behavior: Usually if files are copied the target file receives the source file's last modification timestamp. In this case, when copying files to an FTP drive, this is not done, but the modification time is set to current time. The same happens if files are simpl...

Re: Run as Service?
Why would you need RealtimeSync as a service? Do you want it to run on Windows startup? That's already possible, simply start RealtimeSync via commandline:
C:\program files\FreeFileSync\RealtimeSync.exe <config name>

Re: File sync using date/size
Currently conflicts cannot be resolved automatically, because it's not clear which direction the files should copy (two-way-sync). In your case, it seems you do a one-way sync, so it's reasonable to copy conflics always the same way. Thinking about it I think I should make a default direction config...
