Resolve conflicts with an identical file automatically

[allo-]

My seafile client found when syncing after some offline time a lot of conflicts and created "SFConflict" files. When sorting with a deduplication tool (fdupes), all of the conflicts were files with the same content. Why aren't such conflicts resolved automatically, when the file content is the same?

Hi,

Are the conflicted files uploaded somewhere else and you also add these files on your computer? Where did you upload these file from? A phone? Or from web?

They were originally photo uploads, which were synced to my desktop. My desktop client could not connect for a while and when i stopped it and started it again, it synced some files, including some photo uploads, which caused the conflicts. I suspected that the old copy may actually be incomplete and used fdupes for removing only the duplicate files. This found, that the "SFConflict" files were identical copies (which i then just deleted and i think things are now correctly synced at all devices). So possibly some metadata was not updated correctly when the files were synced the second time.

This is a known situation. The hash value for files uploaded from mobile and web clients are different the hash value generated on desktop client. We'll try to fix this case.
