It's the same symptom, but I doubt it's the same issue. You linked to a 1.3.94 discussion thread, but I've never had the old-overwrites-new problem with 1.3.109. This dreaded problem has come up from time to time over the past year. As I recall, I once solved it by redoing sync installations totally from scratch on all my devices at the same time. I'll try that with the next update. It's an annoying solution, but if it works I don't question it and move on. Regardless, I haven't seen anyone else report old-overwrites-new with 1.4, nor my other gripe of excessive Linux CPU usage. Perhaps also there's an issue of how different platforms interact? I don't see anyone else here but me who reports maintaining all three of Linux, Windows, and Android clients. That's why I'm willing to do the clean total reinstall rather than spend even more time troubleshooting when no one else's config matches mine.
I'm afraid that this issue is still existing.
I noticed it three times using 1.3.106 and v1.3.109.
My environment:
- two Windows 7 64bit notebooks and one NAS Server.
NAS server is enabled on demand.
I'm using btsync to synchronize my local development environment on all three devices.
I found three times that text file modified on Workstation A ( when other workstation and NAS was switched off )
was overwritten by older version after synchronization when I turned on other devices.
It is very danger behaviour - fortunately I had possibility to restore last version from .SyncArchive directory, but I'm synchronizing few thousands of the files - so it is impossible to verify each file.
