When I set a folder to Receive Only mode, still can see [Revert local changes] button, the logic is more or less strange, could you optimize this function and add ignore local changes option when folder is in Receive Only mode?

You can add ignore patterns for the files you don’t care about, or you can ignore the “local additions” status :slight_smile:

I’m using syncthing-fork for Android and I have a “receive only” folder of pictures. This folder contains a bunch of pictures from my file server that I want to have on my phone but I don’t want my phone to change these pictures. The problem is that Android, or some app, adds some folders and files to manage those pictures. Syncthing reports these as local additions but you can’t get rid of them because they are added back.

What would be nice is for some way to easily mark these files as “ignored”. In addition to “Revert Local Changes” you could have another button that says, “Accept Local Additions”. This would apply only to new local files.
