Unable To Re-Sync Files Deleted On Android

[RinaldiMe]

Hi,

 

We're having a annoying issue with the Android version of BitTorrent Sync.

 

How to reproduce the issue:

 

Create a new folder share on the Windows version and activate it on Android (using QR code and full sync — selective sync off).

Copy a file to the folder from Windows and let it sync to Android.

On Android, delete the file (you can do this from the Sync app itself).

Re-add the same file from Windows. Android will now delete the file.

 

I'm unable to add back to the shared folder anything that has been deleted from the Sync app.

 

Windows:

Windows x64 10.0 (10532)

BitTorrent Sync 2.2.1 (104)

 

Android:

Several versions and devices tested (smartphones and tablets).

Androids from 4.0.1 to 5.1.1. Stock ROMs and CyanogenMod.

Samsung Galaxy S4, S5, S6, Tab, Galaxy Camera, Note 3, etc.

Sync App 2.2.1 (360) on Note 3 running CyanogenMod with Android 5.1.1.

 

Reading the Sync.log from the Android app I've come across the following lines:

Does anyone know why this might be happening?

We've found the root cause - fix is coming. As a workaround, you can "touch" the file to update its mtime - then Android will no longer delete it.

 

Thank you for reporting!
