I have been using sync since 0.9 (or thereabouts, so I am very familiar with how it works).
An annoying problem has appeared with 2.4. I saw this before with some previous 2.x version, but it got fixed a while ago.
ComputerA is a windows 10 machine running sync in user mode.
ComputerA has a podcast downloader on it - Juice 2.2.
Juice checks every 90 minutes for podcasts and if there are new ones it downloads them, some MP3, most MP4. These can be several hundred MB in size.
While it is downloading the podcast, it saves them as a .partial file and this grows until it is complete, then the file name is change to .mp3 or .mp4.
ComputerA syncs with ComputerB and AndroidA. ComputerB is a windows 10 machine running in user mode and AndroidA is an android 4.4.1 device.
What I am seeing since 2.4 was installed on computerA and computerB (AndroidA is running the latest androis sync version) is as follows
ComputerA downloads the podcast - c:\Podcasts\PodcastA\podcastA.mp4 - this happens normally and there have been no changes with this part.
ComputerA now has c:\podcasts\PodcastA\podcastA.mp4 (400MB)
ComputerB has c:\podcasts\PodcastA directory (this was created by sync), but nothing inside it
AndroidA has \PodcastA\podcastA.partial (7MB, 1MB, 50MB, just some size much smaller than the completed version on computerA)
Renaming the podcastA.mp4 on computer1 does not change anything, I have to copy and paste podcastA.mp4 in the same directory on computerA and then the sync happens, resulting in this-
computerA - podcastA.mp4 & podcastA-copy.mp4
computerB - podcastA-copy.mp4
androidA - podcastA-copy.mp4
As I mentioned earlier, this was something that I saw in an earlier version, but got fixed quite quickly, but now it is back again.
Any ideas?
