aSystemOverload Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Hi,I've synced folders on a Raspberry Pi and Windows machine. When I move files that have synced from the RPi out of the Win machine's sync folder, they reappear. Why is this and is it a bug? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatMarko Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Why is this and is it a bug? Are you using full-access secrets on both devices, or are you using a read-only secret on one of them? Moving a file out of a folder being monitored can appear the same to Sync as deleting a file from the folder - i.e. Sync just knows that the file is no longer in the folder, and so will try to obtain it from other peers.

aSystemOverload Posted March 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 It is using full-access on both devices. Is it possible to get it to cascade deletes to all devices when you move/delete a file on one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skeezix Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 The "no point in this" seems sort of counter-productive for the task at hand. Myself, I have a Mac box, and a Win 7 box in sync, and half a dozen or so directories I share variously w/ different people. Some are full-access, others, RO. I have no idea which box added what file when. When I first started using this marvelous application, it really didn't cross my mind deleting files would be a problem, so didn't pay no never-mind where, as in which box, a file was added from. Couple that with a few shares involving different people and suddenly all this is an issue.Has there been any traction on a fairly intuitive, non-kludgy way to manage all this?At this point I'm thinking uninstall/re-install? Really?I'm not carping, but I have a couple of pretty non-technical folk I'm sharing with, and heck, deleting files and not having them re-appear would seem to be a pretty basic function.I'm not a programmer, but hold them in high regard. This isn't easy on a PAID good day!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanZ Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 @skeezixThis is basic functionality, and the fact that deleted/removed files reappear looks to be a bug. I suggest you and your friends are using the 1.3.94 build? If issue is still present - I would appreciate getting debug logs, which might contain the traces of the issue.

skeezix Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Affirmative, yes using the 1.3.94 version.Kindly, where are the logs stored? Happy to pass them on. *LOVE* the application, yes I run out of seconds in my day to properly research everything. Happy to help, hate to be a numb-nut. skeezix (Boise, ID).Aha. I see now.I'll work on that tomorrow, and pass them on. Thanks. skeezix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeezix Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 OK, I'll be a monkey's uncle.Sync is working fine. Unsure what changed except I *think* I deleted the files --which haven't reappeared-- from the machine from which they were originally added, if that makes a difference.And I added a text file today, everything sync'd and looks good to go. 24 hours, no issues. Thanks for the dialogue. Interestingly, and I'm obviously vaguing something, I turned on logging (Win 7), yet can't find the logs. %APPDATA% is to me sort of hazy. Assuming I installed in c:\program files(x86) , where might the logs be? Isn't in the Bittorrent Sync directory, nor in c:\users\eric that I can tell .... skeexix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyTheSaint Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 My debug log is in C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Roaming\BitTorrent Sync\sync.log Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
