I’m syncing a few Macs using syncthing, having put “.DS_store” in the .stignore file for obvious reasons. Now, when I delete a subdirectory in a synced folder, on the other machines the files in that subdirectory get removed, but the folder isn’t deleted and a ‘directory not empty’ reason is given for the failed sync. My guess would be that this is due to the .DS_store file still being in the directory… does anyone else see this and is there any reasonable way to work around this problem?
Yes. It’s a known problem. There’s a future revamp of the ignore system to fix this, where you’ll be able to say “ignore this file, and delete it if it’s in the way when removing directories”.
