Hi Riccardo,
I added some subfolders of subfolders... with new files to the source
folder. F.e. :
TRAVAIL/COURS/3LA/Dictee39
TRAVAIL/COURS/3LA/Dictee310
When I made a sync with StepSync to the target :
'TRAVAIL' on a removable device
where the path 'COURS/3LA' was already there,
I found two issues :
1) The new subfolders have been appended at the root of the Target
folder 'TRAVAIL' : bad path. We should expect the new path to be
created like 'mkdir -p in the CLI'.
2) And these folders were empty : we should not expect the files to be
copied in each folder when the path is wrong. So the 2nd issue seemed
linked to the first.
I suspected something went wrong because the status between the two
folders showed inconsistent numbers in the window of StepSync after it
proceeded.
Are you using something like rsync under the UI ?
Maybe you already know those issues and planned to correct those in
the upcoming release ?
this is a little bit unexpected, I have used StepSync hundreds of times
for my own use.
I do not use rsync under the UI, the engine is "mine" and completely
written inside GNUstep's Base capabilities.
However, I did really a lot of work in 0.2 comparted to past release.
Really revamped the core, added multi-threading and fixed countless
things. I never have seen your specific bug, but maybe it is "fixed by
miracle" ?
Now that you have full GAP you could try it if you want.
Riccardo
