Hello:
I’ve done this plenty of times before without issue - but it looks like the behaviour has recently changed (currently running 0.14.48 under macOS):
I’ve tried to add a folder at /Volumes/AC HD/Updates - Current
- so have entered exactly this in the folder setup (as I have done before).
In response, I’ve got the following error in the log:
2018-07-12 11:03:13 Creating directory for "Updates - " (*****-*****): mkdir /Volumes/AC/: permission denied
I then tried escaping spaces by entering /Volumes/AC\ HD/Updates\ -\ Current
as the Folder Path - and got the following error:
2018-07-12 11:39:16 Creating directory for "Updates -" (*****-*****): mkdir /Volumes/AC\ HD: permission denied
(Note also that the Folder Name is being listed as Updates -
instead of Updates - Current
, despite what’s listed in the Folder Label.)
Is this just me?
Thanks,
Pants.

That’s weird - for me it works as expected on linux and firefox 61. Maybe this is a JS/browser issue - which one do you use?

Hi Simon:
Many thanks for this; I’m using Safari 11.1.2 on macOS 10.13.6 - only released earlier this week.
I’ve just tried it with Firefox 61.0.1 - and all works as expected. Hurrah!
Best wishes,
Pants.

Would be interesting to know whether our code is to blame or Safari’s JS engine. However I am totally out of my depth for that question, so from my side you will have to live with using firefox for creating Syncthing folders atm
I’m using firefox myself on OS X. Its weird this happens on safari (not verified myself). Maybe we should create a bug report for this and also let other people verify this behaviour?
Well, verify it if you have a mac, and if you can repro, open a issue, or a PR if you find a way to fix this.
