MerceanCoconut Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 From what I've read, if I add a filename to .SyncIgnore that has already been synced and restart Sync, that file should be removed from other clients. However, when I do this, the file is not removed. New files are kept from syncing, but already existing files are not cleaned out.For example, client 1 has a lot of '.directory' files created by the file manager. If i add '.directory' to .SyncIgnore I expect that those files should be deleted from client 2. This does not happen. If I start deleting .directory files from client 2, they are now deleted from client 1.I'm using 1.1.15 on linux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdebath Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 SyncIgnore really doesn't work.If you want to get something useful out of them you must make sure all the syncIgnore files are identical.You will probably have to remove and recreate the share (on all machines at the same time) to ensure that the ignored files are not in BTSync's metadata on any machine.The deleting of ignored files is considered a bug, in both directions.
