[Solved] Bt Sync 1.4 Broke Ignore List

Basically, previously files were being ignored, but now they're not.

 

Here's my ignore list on both my computer and the computer I'm syncing with.

# .SyncIgnore is a UTF-8 encoded .txt file that helps you specify single files, paths and rules # for ignoring during the synchronization job. It supports "?" and "*" wildcard symbols.### OS generated files #.DS_Store.DS_Store?._*.Spotlight-V100.Trashes*.FinderInfoehthumbs.dbdesktop.iniThumbs.dbIcon*.ResourceForkcom.apple.ResourceFork.ResourceFork.FinderInfocom.apple.FinderInfo.com.apple.ResourceFork.com.apple.FinderInfo*.apple.ResourceFork.apple.ResourceFork*com.apple.ResourceFork*.ResourceFork*.FinderInfo*com.apple.FinderInfo*.com.apple.ResourceFork*.com.apple.FinderInfo*.apple.ResourceFork@eaDir_gsdata_

And yet, files matching these names are still being synced!  See attached as a snippet.post-45965-0-39252900-1413646639_thumb.p

 

How do I fix this?


I should note when I upgraded, BT Sync simply renamed .SyncIgnore as IgnoreList . . . .

The old .SyncIgnore file from Sync 1.3 has been replaced with a ".sync/IgnoreList" file (which you mention) and also a ".sync/StreamsList" (for your com.apple stuff, etc)

 

For more information on the StreamsList, please see this Sync Help article.

 

Ahhh, very good.  I just removed those things from the StreamList /white list and all appears well.
