Guest proactiveservices Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 I noticed that I made some changes to a few of my photos but BT Sync got "stuck" trying to sync the files over to my laptop. The logs didn't show anything so I thought I'd use "touch" to update all of the photos to the laptop, but didn't want to pollute the time stamps. I've made a batch file that touches the files by plus five seconds. This effectively forces BT Sync to re-index a given directory, file or file spec., but without resetting the time stamps. When I ran this against my photos directory, it re-synced the files I'd changed and a few others that hadn't synced correctly, but didn't have to send everything over again. Anyone who'd like a copy can add the sync folder BNIS6FYN5YH4SXYM5V45QAF37VSGU3VTE which has some other Sync-related utilities on it. I've tested it in several scenarios here and it works as intended, but comes with no warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spacemarine Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Sounds interesting, but did you manage to find out why these files weren't synced in the first place? Sounds like a bug on BTsync to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
