FreeFileSync v1.7
----------------- 

Usage
-----
1. Choose left and right directories and "Compare" them.
2. Select "Synchronize..." to specify settings and begin synchronization.


Features
--------
1. Compare files (bytewise or by date) and synchronize them.
2. No limitations: An arbitrary number of files can be synchronized.
3. Subfolders are also synchronized, including empty folders.
4. Network support.
5. Lean & easy accessible UI: Highly optimized for speed and huge sets of data.
6. Algorithms coded in C++ completely.
7. Focus on usability:
	- Only necessary functionality on UI: no overloaded menus or icon jungle.
	- Select folders via drag & drop.
	- Last configuration and screen settings are saved automatically.
	- Maintain and load different configurations by drag&drop, load-button or commandline.
	- Double-click to show file in explorer.
	- Copy & paste support to export file-lists.
	- Delete superfluous/temporary files directly on main grid.
	- Right-click context menu.
	- Progress indicators, status information and error reporting.
	- Sort file-lists by name, size or date.
	- Display statistical data: total filesizes, amount of bytes that will be transfered with the current settings.
8. Easy configurable commandline mode for automated synchronization.
9. Support for filesizes > 4 GB.
10. Option to move files to Recycle Bin instead of deleting/overwriting them.
11. Automatically ignore directories "\RECYCLER" and "System Volume Information" when comparing and syncing.
12. Localized German version available.
13. Delete before copy: Avoid disc space shortages with large sync-operations.
14. Based on wxWidgets framework => Portable to many operating systems.
15. Filter functionality to include/exclude files from synchronization (without re-compare!).
16. Include/exclude specific files from synchronization manually.
17. Create sync jobs via GUI to synchronize automatically (can be scheduled or executed directly).
