Aborting

@allenyllee If you don't have any important files on the Linux machine, please try this:

1. Run Syncify: Reset in the command palette
2. Configure Syncify again
3. Download

[allenyllee]

@arnohovhannisyan Still get this error....

[auxves]

@allenyllee Can you install this VSIX and try again?

---

To install the VSIX, follow the instructions here

[allenyllee]

@arnohovhannisyan Seems work! But I can't see any message about "download successfully", so I'm not sure it is actually work or not.

[auxves]

@allenyllee

I can't see any message about "download successfully", so I'm not sure it is actually work or not.

Can you test it by changing something on Windows and downloading on Linux?

[allenyllee]

@arnohovhannisyan I've changed some setting on Linux and trying to download on Windows, while download successful(it says: Already up to date), the actual settings.json doesn't change...

[auxves]

@allenyllee Have you verified that the remote repository has been updated with the new change?

[allenyllee]

...and I noticed that CPU usage was very high when I upload some changes on Windows, the whole process takes about 5 mins!

[allenyllee]

@arnohovhannisyan OK, I guess the reason is that: the uploading/downloading takes so long, but I have no information about the progress. So I repeat uploading/downloading many times, and modify some thing, then restart VScode. I don't know which is latest modify, until I can check it on my repo, but it's too late, because it takes about 5 mins to upload!

[auxves]

@allenyllee Can you try these steps on the computer with the performance issues?

Record button:

Save button:

1. Launch VSCode from the command line with code --inspect-extensions=9993
2. Run Developer: Show Running Extensions
3. Click the record button on the top right corner
4. Run Syncify: Upload
5. Wait for the process to finish
6. Click the record button again to stop the profiling
7. Click the save button to save the profile
8. Attach the profile by dragging it into the comment box

[allenyllee]

I have recorded it about 1000s, because I don't know the exact time it finished. So the txt file is very large, I can't attach it without compress.

[auxves]

@allenyllee Can you try uploading with all extensions disabled besides Syncify? You have a lot of extensions, so that may be the cause.

Edit: Also, can you run code --status while uploading and reply with the results?

[allenyllee]

I have disabled all extensions and recorded it again, with the code --status result.

@arnohovhannisyan I found the root cause of this problem. In the %APPDATA%\Code\User, there is ftp-simple folder which contains extension ftp-simple's old stuff, which include 33,705 files and 3,761 folders. I try to remove it and everything work fine!
