fastfwd Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 Ok, I'll go first... 1.4.91 still has some little issues, but btsync's CPU usage on my Linux system, which used to be a steady 7-10%, is now practically zero while it's idle. Thanks! I'm running 1.4.91 on one Win7/64 machine, 1.4.91-i386-glibc2.3 on a Debian Etch box, 1.4.83 on two more Win7/64 machines (soon to be upgraded to 1.4.91), and 1.3.109 on a WinXP machine. All the machines seem to be playing nicely with each other, and I haven't seen any new problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dms2013 Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 I didn't notice anything. Maybe the Sync logo is a little different?Linux CPU usage is still low when idle, sometimes pops up to 0.7% and when transferring, it goes all the way, which is understandable. I hope for some features to return on the android/ios? version to easily send single/multiple files to another device instead of whole folders.

1024gb Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 (edited) I configured BTSync to use a custom port on my Raspberry Pi. But every time I open the options dialog it has changed to some random value. That’s a big thing, as I can’t open every single port in my firewall. I tried to uninstall BTSync and started with a clean new install, but that did not solve the problem. Update: I have the same problem on my Mac running OS X 10.9.5.

GreatMarko Posted October 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 I didn't notice anything.Well, there's a new icon in the UI: I configured BTSync to use a custom port on my Raspberry Pi. But every time I open the options dialog it has changed to some random value. That’s a big thing, as I can’t open every single port in my firewall. I tried to uninstall BTSync and started with a clean new install, but that did not solve the problem. Update: I have the same problem on my Mac running OS X 10.9.5. Yes, the "port keep changing/settings not saving via the UI" issue - which the devs are aware of - has been around since 1.4.82 - it's still present in 1.4.91. The workaround until it's fixed is to specify settings via a config file instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fbreve Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 Same problem I had in last version. UI is not showing. Window 8.1 x64.It used to work after the UI change, but now it doesn't work anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kamborio Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 "Listening port" does not work (big disappointment)."Limit receiving/sending rate" seems to be working now (at least it accepts the values, haven't tested whether it applies them.

sfmcnally Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 The new build didn't upgrade the old build for some reason. It installed a second version of btsync. These 1.4 builds have given me nothing but headaches. I can't tell if anything is syncing anymore and the reported sizes are all wrong. I'd downgrade back to 1.3 if it didn't mean starting over. I appreciate the work devs, but 1.4 was too buggy for release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICE Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 Are you sure, you haven't installed the x86 and the x64 version, both? For me it upgraded just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nils Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 In OS X, it seems resizing can hide the rightmost icons for a share i.e. the share button and the three dots for preferences. This seems like a bug or should be fixed. I would not expect these to disappear when shrinking the main window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syncroland Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 (edited) Hi Since I changed from 1.3.109 to 1.4.83 (now 1.4.91) my NAS WD My Book Live Duo (running the powerpc version), the sync is very slow...., tells me, that syncing will take 68 years ! :-) All my other clients running with Windows 8.1 are as quick as I know it. Does anybody know a fix? Edited October 12, 2014 by syncroland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not expect these to disappear when shrinking the main window.In fact the same applies to Win7, 8.1 64 bit - I had not reported this before, but will now that you have. Better to keep these available when shrinking the window! And as soon as they tell us what improvements have been made I will go for .91 :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roza Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 I installed the new version on my Linux server. Now the UI stays blank (just gray page, no 404) - even though btsync is running (and started with --webui.listen). Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanZ Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 @dms2013It is mostly bug fixes. @fbreveOne simple thing to check - see if removal of settings.dat and settings.dat.old helps. Let me know the results. @kamborio"Listening port" fix is not yet there, sorry. Should be fixed in next update. @nilsScreenshot, please? @syncrolandCan I take a look at debug logs? @rozaWhich OS / browser do you use to connect to WebUI?

juggler Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 The last upgrade has a important bug. No sync filename with acents, for example "camión.txt". I detected the problem in the Linux 64 and ARM versións... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlsoWik Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 Anyone else get negative counts of locked files? Yes, for me it often says "-1 locked files". And when you click the link under the Peers column to get the details, it often doesn't match the what is in the Status column. Sometimes status will say "1 locked file", but under the details it will show that everything is synced. I'm using it to sync between Windows 8.1 64-bit and Windows Server 2012.

nils Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 The UI problem, where the main window can be resized and then hiding the share and pref buttons on the far right. NB: I reckon this has been mentioned before, but the 1.4.x UI window is horrendously large on machines with small screens e.g. 13", taking up almost the entire screen. A setting for text/general size would be a nice-to-have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boistordu Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 I will pray to have the listening port fix in the next update... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stefsegers Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 Very happy this version is working better. The only thing I see is that BTSync has to sun a LOT of files com.apple.FinderInfo like 35560 times!!! What is happening? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
