How am I getting a "Conflict" file with this setup?

[luomat]

I have a folder which is syncing between two Macs, both running RS version 2.7.2.

The ".sync/IgnoreList" file on both computers includes these two additions:

Quote

 

index.html

index.md

 

Today I found a "index.Conflict.html" in that folder, which seems like it should not be possible if the ".sync/IgnoreList" file is being respected.

What the heck is going on?

This sequence is not typical regarding Resilio.

Wait, what? The '.Conflict' is not added by Resilio?

Last I knew, Dropbox uses "Conflicted Copy" in filenames that conflict… I just assumed this was Resilio's version of that…

From what I see, RSL inserts ".Conflict" before file extension in case of conflicts:

Thank you, that is what I thought.

Then we're back to the original problem, however… how am I getting a ".Conflict" file when I am syncing two folders, and both of them are supposed to be ignoring the file that was renamed with ".Conflict" added.

Check the date that the conflict file wasn't made before you edited the Ignore file.
