Portable version (.zip) available. -24. No Windows registry entries for portable version. -25. Support for \\?\ path prefix for unrestricted path length. (windows only) -26. Check for updates from within FreeFileSync automatically. - - -Advanced topics ---------------- -1.) Synchronize in Batch Mode and send error notification via email: - -- Create a FreeFileSync batch file using "silent mode". -- Set error handling to "Exit with Returncode < 0" or "ignore errors" to avoid having a popup stop the program flow. - In case errors occur FreeFileSync will abort with a returncode < 0 which can be checked via the ERRORLEVEL command. -- Create a *.cmd or *.bat file and specify the location of FreeFileSync.exe and pass the name of the FreeFileSync batch file as %1 parameter; e.g.: - - C:\Program Files\FreeFileSync\FreeFileSync.exe C:\SyncJob.ffs_batch - IF NOT ERRORLEVEL 0 echo An error occurred! && pause - -- Instead of displaying "An error occurred!" you can specify any other command like sending an email notification (using a third party tool). - - -2.) Schedule Batch Job in Windows Task Planner - -- Create a FreeFileSync batch file. (E.g. C:\SyncJob.ffs_batch) -- Create a new task in Windows Task planner for FreeFileSync.exe. -- Modify the task and adapt the execute-command specifying the path to the batch file; e.g.: - - C:\Program Files\FreeFileSync\FreeFileSync.exe C:\SyncJob.ffs_batch - - -3.) Drag & drop support - -FreeFileSync has a big focus on usability. Therefore drag & drop is supported in various situations: - -You can: - drag & drop any directory onto the main window to set the directory for comparison - - drag & drop any file onto the main window to set the directory for comparison - - drag & drop *.ffs_gui files onto the main window to load the configuration contained - - drag & drop *.ffs_batch files onto the main window to display and edit the batch configuration - - drag & drop *.ffs_batch files onto the batch dialog to display and edit the batch configuration - - -4.) Synchronize two folders but exclude all subfolders from synchronization - -Assuming you plan to synchronize two folders "C:\Source" and "D:\Target", you'll want to setup a filter like this: - - Include: * - Exclude: *\* - -This will exclude all files and folders within the two directories that contain a "\" character. These are exactly the subfolders and -files you want to exclude. - - -Links ------- -FreeFileSync on SourceForge: - -http://sourceforge.net/projects/freefilesync/ - - -Contact -------- -For feedback, suggestions or bug-reports you can write an email to: -zhnmju123 [at] gmx [dot] de - -or report directly to: -http://sourceforge.net/projects/freefilesync/ - - -Have fun! --ZenJu |
