A conflict means the master can not properly overwrite the slave file. And please read & really understand the plight instead of being reductionist and oversimplifying the other person’s more complex multifaceted text.
Let me simplify it myself here: Master - Slave feature, means master overwrites the slave no matter what, (and the slaves can continue to keep their local changes if they want, through the standard .stversions procedures, thus not interfering with the “don’t loose data” mantra of syncthing).
And I was here looking for some progressive or understanding attitude, not for 2-second examples of why nothing should change. I/we have been repeatedly clear enough, and will not respond any longer unless I can see posts really thinking about where ppl like me might be coming from.
