Quicker refresh of Out of Sync Items download progress?

tomasz86 · August 17, 2026, 10:40pm

I’d like to reduce the refresh interval of the file list presented in the Out Of Sync Items modal.

Currently, it is rather slow (but I’m not sure what the actual interval is) while I’d like to try having it refresh every second or so.

I’ve tried to change

github.com/syncthing/syncthing

gui/default/syncthing/core/syncthingController.js

0fc519fac


      
                          $scope.version = { version: version };
                      }
                  }
                  // Get index.html again (likely cached) to retrieve the version header
                  $http.get('').success(setVersionFromHeader).error(setVersionFromHeader);
          
                  // Can't proceed yet - wait for the page reload after successful login.
                  return;
              }
          
              setInterval($scope.refresh, 10000);
              Events.start();
          }
          
          function clearRestartExpectation() {
              restartExpectedFrom = 0;
              restartExpectedUntil = 0;
          }
          
          function setRestartExpectation(delayS) {
              var delay = delayS > 0 ? delayS : 60;

to

setInterval($scope.refresh, 1000);

and it does make the whole GUI refresh much more often, but I’m not really seeing any difference when it comes to the Out of Sync Items modal specifically.

Has anyone got any idea where this particular download progress is controlled and could be tweaked?

This should be the progress update interval option, if memory serves.

That was exactly it! I was going through the internal code without considering the basic user-facing options . Thanks a lot !

I mostly ignore it, and don’t worry about it, but I have long been puzzled by each machine in my collection saying it’s in sync, but the detail saying at the same time that one or more items are out of sync… How can it be both?
