Freefilesync Free Download
Melony Holden
NOTE: FreeFileSync allows you to open files in external applications or run custom scripts. However, when sandboxed as Flatpak, external applications or scripts from your host system are not accessible. If you want to give FreeFileSync access to your host applications/commands, run "flatpak override --user --socket=session-bus org.freefilesync.FreeFileSync" in terminal to give it access to your session DBus (or you can use Flatseal to configure app permissions). Now you can run any app/command, if you prefix it with "flatpak-spawn --host", i.e. "flatpak-spawn --host mycommand arguments".
But using a package which is 6 months old is not good for me and other users too, so I'm wondering if anyone else can help you through this process which takes time, I don't know c++ myself, but I can offer a pipeline for testing packages in (feel free to clone), we can change it any way you need to test freefilesync of course.
I also had issues with wxgtk2 but figured out one could easily change the dependency without uninstalling. With pikaur, use pikaur -S --rebuild freefilesync, and when it asks to view the PKGBUILD, do so and replace the dependency wxgtk with wxgtk2. It works just fine for me.
I am having issues with webkitgtk (I think there is a conflict with webkitgtk-3 perhaps?) and wxgtk-git. I am new with AUR installs, so thanks for patience. I have this problem on three of my Arch Linux machines. Here is the final error when I try to install webkitgtk manually (same when running "yay -S freefilesync"):
P.S. I think I am reading that wxgtk is being skipped. Like the users below, I think the wxgtk2 might be the solution. I tried @Fuzzy 's recommendation to use yay --editmenu -S freefilesync, but I had the same result. I don't know how to edit a PKGBUILD with yay.
For those who use yayand don't want to download PKGBUILD manually - I used command yay --editmenu -S freefilesync to invoke PKGBUILD edit request during installation and replaced 'wxgtk' to 'wxgtk' at line #15.
It would help if you could update the PKGBUILD to make the dependency 'wxgtk2' instead of 'wxgtk'. When I tried to use 'pacman -Suy' today, it refused to update wxgtk2, because it broke freefilesync's dependency on 'wxgtk'. When I uninstalled freefilesync, I was able to update 'wxgtk2', but then I couldn't install freefilesync until I edited the PKGBUILD dependency to read 'wxgtk2'.
I installed the freefilesync program on ubuntu 16.04. Mirroring files on the external hard drive is no problem. However, the permission changes on the destination folder, which is the external hard drive. How can I preserve the permissions as it is when I mirroring files on ubuntu 16.04???
