Setup info
Hi, following the issue #289 , I'm still having the same problem currently.
Server version 3.5.0, desktop client version 2.0.0.838 (flb954).
What happened
I'm a musician and I work often with Photoshop for artwork graphics and Reaper for producing/exporting music, and I'm getting this issue with 2 workflows which involve those softwares.
When I save a big .PSD file, it sometimes (not always) clones it as a renamed "conflicted copy", despite the local file being created with a more recent date than the remote file with the same name.
The same happens when I export .mp3 or .wav files from Reaper to a local folder, the server has an older version with the same name but yet, I get a "conflicted copy" renamed file.
I find this frustrating because the correct file gets renamed and it's a pain in the *** to always manually rename it back with no suffix.
Workaround
As a workaround, I try to remember to pause the synchronization, do what I have to do, and then restart it. This solves the issue, but it's a frustrating solution as well.
My conclusions
The culprit may be the case when creating a file requires a timespan longer than the update frequency which OpenCloud uses to detect and sync with the server.
Possible fixes
- Implement a Select in the settings, something like "Conflict strategy" with options "Create a conflicted copy file (default)", "Force local to server", "Force server to local"
- or record any conflicted file into the client UI and let the user choose how to fix the conflict with a one-click solution (with the same options as above)
let me know if you need any other info by my side!
