palitu822 Posted April 9, 2020 Report Share Posted April 9, 2020 Im trying to work out something for selective sync. say i record a large video on my laptop, and it is put straight into a selective sync'd folder. how do i know that when i remove from the laptop (to frees pace), that there is another copy on another synchronised device? I feel like i have deleted a few files permanently by accident as a result of removing them locally before they have transferred across. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy+ Posted April 9, 2020 Report Share Posted April 9, 2020 The image with the selective synchronization is inconsistent between files and directories. Basically, selected or unselected files, recognizable by the suffix ".rsls", are deleted on both sides when deleting on the selective side. This also applies to the subdirectories. Directories are only deleted if they are deleted on the side in which the selective synchronization is not active, whether they have been downloaded on the selective side or not. Or you can use the "Remove from all devices" option in the file manager, right mouse click. Functionally, that doesn't go together. Otherwise, only a test helps.

palitu822 Posted April 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2020 Thanks Andy - i get the standard functionality, of the .rsls files. i just want to know if i have two nodes A & S, A is my NAS and S is my laptop, i have S with Selective sync on. I make a new video on S, and it starts to sync to A. before the video has finshed copying across, i "remove from this device" on S. Will resilio tell me that it has not finished transferring? will it just remove it and i have deleted a file? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy+ Posted April 9, 2020 Report Share Posted April 9, 2020 I think no, Resilio went back to the status before starting without comment. Maybe a test would be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palitu822 Posted April 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2020 yep - i will have to warn my users! It would be nice to be able to see when it has completed sync'ing. maybe this is a good feature request. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
