SYNC - SETUP & FORCING / INITIAL OPERATION #94

Closed qalisto closed 7 months ago

qalisto commented 7 months ago

Apologies, but I searched and could not resolve this query - which is probably an embarrassingly obvious in some way that I missed.

In both my LNX (MX) and Win11 installations I cannot (for the life of me) get files to Sync to either my external cloud OR an internal directory.

I have tried multiple TAB and destination FOLDER variants. (See Image) I have tried Closing and Re-opening the App.

So, how about this ... WHAT is the command (method) of FORCING the Sync operation to occur? I just want to see one single successful Sync either locally or in a Cloud folder.

I have not found the Sync user info page to be instructive in this regard. (Sorry - this section is dishearteningly thin.)

So ... HOW does a User get a simple, first-time, Sync of Items under a Tab name?

And then, can someone provide a Step x Step, explanation of the precise SYNTAX to specify for TAB NAME and PATH in Preferences? Are there prefix or suffix characters I have neglected to include??

Another thing not clarified in the Support Docs is IF or HOW recursive "Tab" DIRs are or could be included. OR if all sub-Tabs must be specified as separate entries. (If not, would be an obvious Feature Request).

With apologies for being a "Dummy" if I missed something in the Config that is obvious - but I really need to Sync the exact Clips for 2 machines which will read an external cloud drive containing the CPQ target CPQ SYNC CFG for Items copied.

Upon success, I would leap for joy.

Hi @qalisto.

I had seen that synchronization section, but had not experimented with it, it is always good to learn something new 😄.

I put this configuration to see how it worked, and it seems that it is generating the files in the specified directory. I think that to synchronize the "subtabs" it is necessary to place each record.

I had a problem, when changing the tap folder "&Root" (for example, before I had "test_sync/root" and I changed to "test_sync"), but I think it was because I changed it directly (writing it in the cell) and do not select it with the explore icon. But I restarted CopyQ and it started syncing without problems.

I checked all this in Win10, I don't know if it is an operating system issue.

Thank you

It now seems to be working. It seems that the "&" must be included in the tab path.
