Profile Settings - Safety/Attended Mode

Attended

These options specify which warnings Super Flexible File Synchronizer is going to generate in certain situations encountered during file synchronization. These options are only in effect when the program is running in attended mode (i.e. not scheduled, and not otherwise invoked in unattended mode).

Warn before running a profile that moved files and deletes from source

This warning will come up when a profile with the "Move Files" mode is started. The warning can be confirmed and disabled for the future when it appears, so you do not need to remove the checkmark on this tabsheet (it will be removed when the warning is permanently confirmed).

When not keeping multiple backup versions:

Warn before overwriting read-only files

This option determines whether read-only files are replaced with or without requiring confirmation from the user. Note that this warning only occurs when the synchronizer is not keeping multiple backup versions of each replaced file (see Edit Profiles - More Profile-Specific Settings (More)).

Warn before overwriting larger files with smaller ones

This is the warning that is most frequently turned off. When editing documents, the files don't always become larger. It often happens that the most current version is smaller than a previous one. If you don't want to have to manually confirm such cases, you can uncheck this option. Like the previous one, this warning only occurs when the synchronizer is not keeping multiple backup versions of each replaced file (see Edit Profiles - More Profile-Specific Settings (More)).

In Exact Mirror Mode, or when manually specified:

Warn before overwriting newer files with older ones

In Exact Mirror Mode, the synchronizer will try to make the mirror match the model exactly. This can mean that sometimes, files need to be replaced by ones with an older modification date. In that case, the software will normally require confirmation from the user. To avoid having to confirm this replacement, uncheck this option.

Warn before deleting files

Another thing that can occur in Exact Mirror Mode is that files need to be deleted from the mirror because they no longer exist on the "model" side. In that case, the software will normally require confirmation from the user. To avoid having to confirm these deletions, uncheck this option.
