Linux Increasing Sync_Trash_Ttl For File Versioning

[harrisc]

Can someone confirm that I can increase the time old versions on Linux (arm) by increasing sync_trash_ttl parameter?

 

Can this be done using btsync_edit_settings.py? If so, I would like to see the steps required. 

 

I tried to use

sudo python btsync_edit_settings.py settings.dat set sync_trash_ttl 300

 on a copy of settings.dat with no success. I get messages as follows

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "btsync_edit_settings.py", line 238, in <module>

    encoded_content = bencode(bdict)

  File "btsync_edit_settings.py", line 144, in bencode

    return _encode_dictionary(input)

  File "btsync_edit_settings.py", line 16, in _encode_dictionary

    result += bencode(key)+bencode(value)

  File "btsync_edit_settings.py", line 150, in bencode

    raise ValueError('Invalid field type: %r' % itype)

ValueError: Invalid field type: <type 'long'>

I forgot to mention I tried to read existing value for   sync_trash_ttl using

 

 sudo python btsync_edit_settings.py settings.dat get sync_trash_ttl

 

Message came back

Parameter "sync_trash_ttl" doens't exists in bencoded file settings.dat

I found another script btsync_edit_settings_w4.py  btsync_edit_settings_w4.py  from http://syncapp.bittorrent.com/support/script/btsync_edit_settings_w4.py which did seem to work!
