Renaming files and folders

[mraneri (Mike)]

File renames, moves.

So I did this… But Syncthing is occasionally deleting the folder marker and the folder stops. How do I prevent this? It would kinda nice if there was a checkbox on the main folder’s versioning options that made this indexing automatic, without having to have a separate folder for it… The isolated case is rather straightforward. Create a few thousand 50MB Files with some random names in a subfolder of the root of the shared folder. All files should be different without shared blocks. All…

ideally we want to be able to skip step 3,5, and 6..

Here’s another case.

1. enable versioning. Trash can is fine.

2. Create 10,000 files totalling 300GB in a subfolder…

3. wait for everything to sync

4. rename the subfolder.

what I expect is after some chugging/rehashing, that the effect of the renamed folder transfers to the remote device, with only data transfer of metadata, and I don’t have a mess of files clogging up the versions folder.
