Copying and pasting a file in a synced folder is uploaded but not shown in Transfer Manager UI #714

I'm currently in a path under a MEGA folder added as a Full Sync folder, and when at this path, I copy a TXT file (e.g. X) that already exists within it, and then past it at the same location (creating a X - Copy.txt). This newly created and copied file is uploaded to MEGA as it can been seen on mega.nz, however it is never shown in the Uploads or Complete tabs of the Transfer Manager.

This happens for both Selective Sync and Full Sync folders types, and by the looks of it, you can copy a file from one Selective Sync folder and paste it in different one, e.g. a Full Sync folder, and the file will be uploaded but again is omitted from being shown in the Transfer Manager UI.

Ideally, file uploads, no matter how they were copied, would always show in the Transfer Manager UI as to the user, this is considered a new file, regardless of how it's handled internally by MEGAsync.

Thanks.

Hello. This is how syncs work currently. Instead of starting a transfer, you will first notice that there is already a copy of that file in the cloud, and that node is copied, rather than having the file data uploaded again. We are considering making those show up as transfers in the future.
