Celeste is trying to sync files even when no files have been changed #168

Hello!

My Celeste client is checking the Dropbox server every second (apparently).

I cannot find the functionality/option to only run sync checks when files are changed.

hwittenborn commented 1 year ago

What version of Celeste are you on @danielbmeireles? v0.8.0 made it to where files are only checked when they're actually changed.

I have the same issue while syncing with google drive. I have 0.8.0 installed from apt on Ubuntu 23.04.

elydpg commented 1 year ago

I have the same issue. 0.8.0 installed from Flatpak on Kubuntu 23.10

danielbmeireles commented 1 year ago

Same issue here, the file get checked every seconds. Does someone have a solution?

hwittenborn commented 11 months ago

Hey all, I'm not entirely positive what might be causing this issue still. Celeste doesn't currently expose a bunch of debug information to find this out with, though I'm suspecting this might be due to files that didn't get synced because of permission errors.

Would any of y'all be able to try running this command on the local directory you're syncing? I'm mostly curious if it returns a permission error or anything of the sort:

file /sync/dir/path 1> /dev/null

Hi, Thanks for your answer! I need to tell that I use nextcloud, not dropbox. But except that, everything is the same, as the app recheck the files very very frequently. I have typed the command you write in a terminal, but it return me literally nothing. Thanks you

Alright, I'm pretty sure that means the issue I was suspecting isn't the case @Froggy232. I'll do some more looking to see what I can find and let y'all know if I uncover anything though.

image Maybe that you are mention it's related to this error message, even if I reboot the system it happens immediately, but everything is ok in folder

There's no errors that show in the UI @Pkcarreno? If so that's probably just a bug with the tray implementation, as all errors in Celeste get added to the error list immediately when they occur.

Hi, Thanks for your inquiry! I also need to note that if I have modified the file I want to synchronize since the last time Celeste has been opened, I always have the message that says Celeste detect that the file has been changed on the remote server, even when I haven't even open it on the remote server. I don't know if it's related, if I haven't modified the file since the last time Celeste has been opened, I don't have this message and still have the infinite sync problem. Thanks for your work!

That makes sense, there is no error in app Btw, thanks for this awesome app!
