Bug Report: Synching while Collaborating and Editing Files

Recommended Posts

We have been using BitTorrent SyncApp for collaborating at work since we were invited to the Alpha last week. So far, the product is fantastic and we hope it improves in the future. Keep up the good work.

This is more of an unexpected behaviour bug than a technical bug. BtSync in this case doesn’t behave similar to DropBox or other file sync systems.

Use case:

Two users on two separate computers are editing different files in different folders stored in the same BtSync shared folder.

User1 has file1 in folder1 open and is editing.

User2 renames folder1 to folder2.

BtSync detects the change and synchronizes

BtSync folder now contains folder1 with only file1 and folder2 with all the other files

User1 saves file1 and deletes folder1

User2 still has folder1 until he deletes folder1

The desired behaviour would be that folder renames are propagated and synched between computers, even when a file inside the folder is being edited.
