newbie_RS Posted March 1 Report Share Posted March 1 Hi! User of Seafile, and looking forward to migrating to Resilio Sync after hearing a bunch of good reviews. Unfortunately, RS fails to function in some ways that make little sense to me, and I just wanted to know if I'm either expecting too much, found a bug, or maybe just set it up wrong? Anyways, here are 4 questions that almost 5 hours of Googling could't resolve. Any input would be appreciated! (Also Resilio support closed my ticket bc I'm not a Pro user) Here's a link to the images that I want share: https://link.resilio.com/#f=untitled folder&t=6&i=BGYSS7KR3ERB6T2FFFFMUT2J3CAHU46FR&e=1709886625&v=2.7 This forum doesn't allow me to upload images so here it is! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- QUESTION 1 Is there a way to sync the whole folder within Finder via “Sync to this device” and un-sync it without having to get the whole folder to turn into a placeholder? I need to first select the folder and “Remove from this device”, which makes it into a placeholder folder, which I need to “Sync to this device” to make it back to its original state (a normal FOLDER with placeholder FILES) This gets slightly annoying when I sync numerous folders/files within an enclosing folder. See image 1 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- QUESTION 2 When I sync individual placeholder FILES, either by double-clicking them or selecting “Sync to this device”, a downloading ring appears, which is expected. When I sync the enclosing FOLDER via “Sync to this device,” all placeholder files disappear and the original files reappear once they are “sync’d and downloaded.” It this normal behavior? Images 2 and 3 are pretty much the exact representation of what happens. With large files, this gets pretty annoying as the folders look empty until fully downloaded/synced See image 2 and 3 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- QUESTION 3 When syncing, I fail to see the option to cancel sync during the process. Image 4 is what I see if I right-click a syncing file (with the progress ring), and image 5 is what was expected is the image after that (from Resilio tutorial). Is this normal behavior? Also, where are the Resilio icons? See image 4 and 5 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- QUESTION 4 Do you have extension icons only for individual files? I was expecting enclosing folders to have any sort of distinction as to what it holds, (ie. Unsynced, Partially Synced, Fully Synced, etc.) I know it’s bad practice to compare it with competitors, but here’s an example that I was expecting to see that’s from Seafile I’ve tried everything from the following link : https://help.resilio.com/hc/en-us/articles/206214625-No-Sync-icons-in-the-file-browser-no-Sync-related-items-in-the-context-menu-on-Mac-Windows and also tried reinstalling the app. I am currently running macOS Monterey 12.7.1 See image 6 and 7 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks in advance!!
