Hi All,
I’ve been enjoying Syncthing for many years now, it’s superb even if it takes a lot more thought and learning than the alternative cloud services.
I’m in the process of sharing files with a second Windows (11) PC and started getting “Out of Sync” issues on the first Windows (10) Instance. This occurred when files/folders were moved, such as:
system_root/mainfolder/bigfolder/bigfolder/smaller_folder/file
TO
system_root/mainfolder/bigfolder/bigfolder/smaller_folder/NEW_FOLDER/file
Fortunately the log is great and said:
syncing: delete dir: directory has been deleted on a remote device but contains ignored files (see ignore documentation for (?d) prefix) 2024-04-24 08:45:27 “folder_name” (XXXX): Failed to sync 1 items
Now the folder it relates to, doesn’t have any of the ignored file types in it (although perhaps they could be hidden), but even so it caused the error. This is no big deal, the ignore files were just temp files created by a program when the file is open. So I just removed the ignore list on all systems and all appears well.
Hope this helps - of course I also welcome any expansion on the topic by the dedicated and excellent mod’s and regular users.
