Sync error "Processing a path that has already been done"

[jpmv27]

Operating system

Windows 7 Home 32-bit

Application

Desktop 1.0.140

Description

Observing intermittent sync errors per the below. Error resolves itself on the next sync.

This seems to happen if I am typing in a note at the moment that a scheduled sync happens.

It happens with 1.0.140 on MacOSX and the Linux 64-bit .appimage, too.

This is not a new issue. This always has happened in ceratain situations. This is not a bug.

@tessus
The message says "error". If it's somehow "normal" or "expected", then the code should check for it and not display an error message.

I didn't say that it's normal or expected. I said it's not a bug.
It is an error in the sense that the sync algorithm hit an edge case which results in an error. But it's not a bug. If you hit sync or wait for the next scheduled sync, the error is gone.

e.g. take a copy operation from one filesystem to another. The copy fails with an error, if there's not enough space on the target filesystem. This is also not a bug, but a valid error.
