Or bring it as regular version as soon as possible. All my pairings are out of sync

got out of sync problems with 110 between Windows Vista - Raspberry - Ubuntu
in History all files will be updated, but that's not true, changed files will not be exchanged between my computers

Hi,
users are dangerous. On my linux box I want to delete ppa to install new version manually in future.
I did a mistake and binary folder was deleted.
No problem, download the latest binary, install it manually and start btsync again
everything fine, noch check the gui and
I got the welcome empty screen and was prompted for user informations (user + password)
btsync was started with same config file, which was untouched
what was happend?
how can I backup btsync settings (peer + folder informations + keys)
I could restore my keys from backup, recreate peer again, but have to do some work for it. I want to be prepared with a backup, easy to reinstall, but which files I have to backup?

@all,
Viewing which exactly files are locked is considered to be implemented in future updates.
So far, please use third-party tools to see the locked files ProcMon or Handle (for Windows), What's keeping me or lsof command in Terminal (Mac). Or any other you like.
sounds great and useful
Sync can't sync files whilst they're open/locked/in use by other applications - in your case, Thunderbird.
Closing Thunderbird will allow the "downloads.sqlite" and "prefs-1.js" files to then sync.
@GreatMarko,
I can't believe this is the true reason, because
- problem only occurred on windows peer
- it started immediatly after windows connect to this peer
- thunderbird is not running on this windows peer
- sysinternal can not find any used handle on this windows peer
- thunderbird was running on a linux box all the time (for month), none of the other linux peers had any problem with syncing thunderbird files while it is running
- I stopped thunderbird and was waiting, but windows still says "locked files"
- I rebooted windows peer, but nothing happend, still "locked files"

Okay. Try collecting debug logs. Make sure that you enable logs, then restart app, see the 14 locked files, open the peer list and then actually grab the log file. Send it to me.
hi, send debug logs to eMail adress
hmm, some entries don't look fine

I found that on the other peer, there is no messages of locked files. Also, if I open the peer list on the machine where the locked files are reported, the transfer queue is empty and the green checkmark indicating that the synchronization is complete appears.
The Sync complete checkmark actually appears in front of the locked files message.
Could it be that there is no locked files and the message is a reminiscence of the locked files when they occurred and are now synced?
Thanks
same be my peers, only one is reporting locked files
and this is my only peer running with Windows (Vista)

@RomanZ,
I done it, only 3 handles are hold for my documents folder (no file within this folder)
- explorer 2x
- btsync
why btsync is telling me, he can't sync 14 locked files
Frank

hmm, nobody have any hint or tips for me?

after reboot and hours still the same
what can I do? how to exclude this files without knowing them?
I only want to sync documents folder
-
using btsync now for some month
today first install in windows vista
btsync 1.4.103
all seems to be fine. I entered a link for a "read/write" peer
after full syncing and using this system I got an red error in browser gui "Status 14 locked files"
with mouse over I got an bubble message "locked files cannot be synced"
I found no way to check which files are target
where can I find a list of this files ? who is locking this files?
Only Firefox is running, no other applications

Hi,
my used sync folder (Linux, Raspberry) was located within a to small partition. Now I want to move this folder to another usb-device.
I tried to set a symbolic link from old place to new location, but get an error in btsync (browser) gui
How can I move sync folder without deleting peer and recreate it. I don't want to resync 10 GB with 3-4 clients over small network again
any hints, tips are welcome

Sync works with UTF8. There is an issue in Linux filename validator which caused Linux client inability to sync non-ASCII chars. It is fixed for now, so it should be available in next update. ETA for build is still vague - see my previous post.
ok, thanks for the hint
hopping for soon ETA
for me a critical bug , if not all files are synced and no error seen anywhere
actually a death sentence for any sync software

Hi,
maybe I'm using an exotic constellation
btsync is running in ubuntu vm, this vm is using files from an old xp vm (on same laptop), filesystem NTFS
btsync should sync this data to other ubuntu systems and an raspberry pi
Now I noticed that all files using german letters (äöü...) are not synced
If I rename one of this file not using german letters file is synced immediately.
I read this hint on support page:
Syncing between different system encoding. Check if the file names have any special symbols and check that the files are in UTF-8, the encoding that Sync understands
Ubuntu can use this files and filenames without any problem, why btsync agent can use this file for syncing, running on same ubuntu system?
Files with german letters and hosted by an ubuntu system on EXT filesystem, can synced without any problems
How can I sync files with german letters from NTFS from my old xp vm?
Should I ran btsync agent on xp for this files? Will this help for german letters?If this help, how can I reuse read+write-key on xp system from my ubuntu vm? I can't use xp as another peer, because ubuntu and xp using same directory !!!
I don't want to create a new key and delete old peer connections, which will have to resync again all other peers
any help is welcome
Frank
