Out of sync with File modified but not rescanned error

Hi all,

First of all, thanks for this great software. Together with the wonderful native iOS /iPadOS Synctrain app from @pixelspark and MacOS client by @xor-gate it has been a great replacement for Nextcloud overall.

However, I still have an issue with my setup, which drives me a bit crazy. I have regular cases of devices crashing in “Out of sync” state with a bunch of files showing an error saying `syncing: finishing: checking existing file: file modified but not rescanned; will try again later`.

I have tried to read all topics showing the same error but didn’t find a way to have these issues stop. I always use the same way to “unstuck” my system : rename the problematic files, wait for a few minutes, then name them back to their original names.

The error is always with the same three types of files : .docx, .pages and .latex, all after having been modified from the same Mac. It seems that my issue is more likely to happen when I update one of these files with very quick and regular saves.

Any advise ?

Can you post logs, syncthing cli debug file, and syncthing debug database-file output for a file that is suffering from this, while it’s suffering from it?

Sure :+1:

I’ll do all that the next time I get a corrupted file
