Ever since upgrading to v11 To be clear the, the issue never happened with versions prior to 11? And if you revert to an earlier version, it continues to work correctly? Compare, for the most part, would be a read-only operation (with some ancillary writes of lock files...), is that correct? I have...

As it is FFS has to monitor both the source & destination. So why not just monitor the source? If date/time (or archive bit) is sufficient, just check for dates > a particular date (or files with archive bit set). If date > last_update, COPY files to destination And have that run periodically, o...

In the Sync settings
set it to Custom, & only enable the
'Item exists on the left side only'
& set its' action to be
'Copy new item to the right'.

(I think that will do it.)

(Not that I know how it works, but...)

It appears that FFS is following the OS settings?

What language settings do you have your OS set to?
What language are you using in FFS?

I'd love to see a function to reduce speed of copying in FFS. Connect to a USB-2 port ;-). What type of enclosure? Are you using the same enclosure for all 3 drives? Temperatures would be nice to know. High temperatures, but below thresholds, should be fine (just high). Likewise, SMART data. I'm ag...

Recent mention of "dot" directories, maybe that, Can sync dot-prefixed (invisible) directory, but not files, except inside directory...?

100 large temporary files on one side ... I had to exclude each of them separately

I'll assume you know that you can select the 1st file, hold down shift, & the 100th file, then exclude all 100 at once.

the folder itself isn't shown

True.

(No idea, BTW, just throwing stuff out...) If you temporarily disable A/V ? Are you attempting install "As Administrator" or as a "regular" user? Do you have sufficient privileges to the instalDir? Are you running in a virtual environment? Might some other program have been in th...

As a start, what settings are you using?

As a start, both files appear to play correctly? Windows? MediaInfo (ZIP version might be the better choice). Compare the output against both files. (With the command line version, you could do something like: mediainfo.exe file1.mp4 > file1.txt mediainfo.exe file2.mp4 > file2.txt then compare file1...

Have you verified the verification ;-) ? As in have you run a hash check on two files that have failed verification to confirm the failure? And then, have you physically compared the two files (with a file comparison program) to get a feel for just how extensive the differences might be? If verifica...

Maybe something here?
And thinking you'll need to understand the nuances of what is being said.

What effect does "run with highest priviledges" in task scheduler have on powershell scripts?

What version of Win10?
What version of FFS?
What antivirus are you using?

Isn't it great when you can come across a "bug" & then come back in & say, hey, it isn't really a bug. So... As I'm always working from behind, never caught up, it's not unusual that I need to set my computer clock, BACK, to some time in the past. When I do, I'll typically use, Bey...

Is Local the source or is FTP? If you run an Update Compare from Local to FTP, won't that show any files on Local that are not on FTP? (Assumes your filters are not excluding wanted files.) I wanted to do an update sync without deletion Again, Local is source, FTP is destination? After the sync, sho...

Is that supposed to be "grep 2020" or at least the purpose to find changes dated in 2020 (of which 202 would probably suffice)? And if you 'head -n 1' then at most only 1 line should be returned, so what is the purpose of sort & uniq? (Or is this a general type of query where it only h...

So... it's been a week. And all had been fine... RealTimeSync.exe & RealTimeSync_XP.exe are both "running". Neither appear to be using any resources, no CPU, no I/O. Icon is in the System Tray. Mouse-over shows that it is RTS, but there is no right-click context menu, nor does double c...

(FFS does not ignore hidden (or system...) files - that I am aware of.)

Still don't know that I'm following, but, Command Line Usage.

Do a content (or hash) check of some of your source files against some of your date changed files & see if the files are identical.

Sigcheck is a command-line utility that shows file version number, timestamp information, and digital signature details, including certificate chains.

Or did you mean something else?
