I am not so happy about the advise given here, even more so without any explanation of what’s happening. And I think it’s the least favorable way of resolving the issue here. My preference would 1.:
- Update Syncthing. There’s multiple options here: Running
syncthing --upgrade
, downloading the latest Syncthing binary (Syncthing | Downloads) and replacing the existing one, maybe something in Synctrayzor?, … - Copy the config and start Syncthing with
allow-newer-config
(or similar, didn’t check). - Do the config.xml editing. Really I wouldn’t thouhg, 1. should work just fine.
