continuing from
why does “watching folders” matter?
- could it be just about “real time” sync?
if so, i could go with a better warning message that would say simply:
android needs root of you want to live update more than 8192 folders. {link to faq} [dismiss warning]
that “close” button (dismiss warning in my instance) is missing right now, which makes me believe this is a more important warning…
- is it that syncthing needs this to know about changes and so folders unwatched by this can never reliably sync for some reason?
if so then the comment there about adding a proper warning would be more than sufficient for me!
android with no root can only keep 8192 folders in sync, and that’s counting ignored ones when excluded!! please, consider using less folders. {link to faq}
… or something. i didn’t really get that last point about ignored folders entering this “quota”.
