MacOS desktop client is constantly scanning files

[lencell]

Expected behaviour

Client finish scanning and only process new files that are to sync without starting a full scan again

Actual behaviour

The client seems to start a full scan after syncing any file and is scanning the sync folder 100% of the time greatly slowing down the syncing process (when not halting it totally)

Steps to reproduce

1. Start nextcloud client
2. wait for scan to finish (a long time)
3. modify a file
4. watch the scan going on again

It is noteworthy to say that there is quite a lot of file that are synced (100k+) so that non stop scans are really a problem

I've put only the first lines there as the scan goes on for a long time as I said earlier there is more than 100k files.

Please use Gist (https://gist.github.com/) or a similar code paster for longer logs.

1. Client logfile: Output of nextcloud --logwindow or nextcloud --logfile log.txt (On Windows using cmd.exe, you might need to first cd into the Nextcloud directory) (See also https://docs.nextcloud.com/desktop/2.3/troubleshooting.html#log-files)

2. Web server error log:

3. Server logfile: nextcloud log (data/nextcloud.log):

Thank you @lencell to report this important issue that I experience as well. I use the same operating system: macOS Catalina 10.15

Hi @lencell - This is a very old issue. Are you still experiencing this in newer versions of the client?
