Errors: Ignores, Root Directory, Initial Scan, ClusterConfig

[jacfalcon]

Tried to update to 2.0 and it’s been causing waves and waves of problems, but I’ve ALMOST got most of them solved by mass wiping everything I can find from synching on multiple devices….

And now it’s ALMOST working, and I got this error on a desktop trying to set up a folder to receive files from my android phone.

[WRN] Unexpected folder ID in ClusterConfig; ensure that the folder exists and that this device is selected under "Share With" in the folder configuration. (folder.label="Eden (saves)" folder.id=edensaves device=RQK33KX log.pkg=model)

I don’t know how it’s come up with it, but that’s indeed a bizarre path.

@jacfalcon

D:\Emulation\saves\eden\saves\0000000000000000\1095832A13F7730C6D5A87509A8AF9C8\

This is the correct path, is that what’s unusual? Or is it something else?

[calmh (Jakob Borg)]

That is fine, but it’s apparently added onto the end of the path to the tray app exe file.

[jacfalcon]

Ah yes I wondered why that was there.

Also, a similar error to the original is here:

[calmh (Jakob Borg)]

Yeah your folder paths are way messed up for some reason I can’t explain. I’d edit the paths to correctness in the advanced config editor.

[jacfalcon]

First off, had no idea that advanced menu was a thing. Dunno how I missed that and nobody told me about it before because I’ve been dealing with waves of problems with Syncthing for years, lol.

Unfortunately, I went in and looked at EVERY menu/setting and they are all correct. So that added path isn’t happening there.

Screenshot of what it looks like?

Looking again, I bet the problem is that it has quotes around it. That makes it not an absolute path but a quoted path component, interpreted as relative to the current working directory… (which shouldn’t be the tray binary, but I guess this is the Syncthing variant that is compiled into the tray app somehow, so there may be something odd going on there.)

[jacfalcon]

Removed them in Advanced

FIXED!

THANK YOU.
