OMG PLEASE HELP...
After trying to figure out exactly what's going on, I've come to realize that there are jpg files inside of folders that can't be seen. I'm not sure if jpg files are the only type of files with such an issue (gosh I really hope so). Yes, I am showing hidden files/folder/drives, they're not hidden, but I still can't see them when I go into the folder. For instance, even thought hidden files/folder/drives are set to be shown, I will only actually see 16 flac files inside a folder, while the properties of the folder will say that there are 21 files in there.
When I go to SyncBack, "modify" the profile, then click on "choose sub-directories and files", the files I can't otherwise see can then be seen in the list. I include them in the mirroring, running the profile, and the destination's properties end up showing that the unseen files have been copied over, but ultimately, they're still unseen. You follow so far?
Anyhow, if before running through the profile, that is, before actually clicking on "continue run", I sift through the files it wants to copy over, I am able to right-click the file and select "open". The file opens up with my jpg viewer and I'm then able to "save it as", finally making it a file that can be seen. When I try to click and drag the file over into the folder where the unseen version of it is located, it then says that there's already a file with that name in there. I replace it and it can then be seen.
I can't be bothered with going through such a process to be able to make the files seen. There's just way too many folders (not to mention, files) in which this could be going on and trying to narrow it down like this is just unrealistic. I'd hate to set the filter to delete all jpg files (that is possible, right?). Is there some way to make such unseen files show themselves without having to go through such a process, manually working each one individually?
What other forums could I ask such a question? I realize this might not really be an issue with SyncBack itself, although, it sure helped me realize what was going on.
