Could you provide us a screenshot from the error message or tell us what the error message said? Can you provide us any steps we can take to reproduce the exact same error message?
Meanwhile I upgraded the desktop client to 3.2.1
I migrated from a ubuntu 20.04 to a Macbook
BTW I had this error already on linux machines doing the same
Hard to say how this can be improved. Maybe, pointing out the exact file name that is attempted to be copied and the file name of an already existing file that results in a clash. This will surely increase the length of the error message that doesn't fit nicely in the limited space of the UI it is displayed in.
Shouldn't the filename in the error message make a user gonna want to check that file on the server? It's a nice hint already.
Not sure myself. I've faced this issue when having two similarly named files having capital and the normal case of extensions (one is .PNG, while another is .png). While this works on Linux, this doesn't work on Windows. Looks like this doesn't work on mac OS too.
Well, I mentioned - I copied the files from Linux to Mac using rsync - hence the filename should be literally the same. (except rsync changes file names) The linux machine was synced to the NC using th NC desktop on Linux and synced again using NC desktop on MAC
The design of the error messages should be made more readable any way. see also https://github.com/nextcloud/desktop/issues/3276
Hi, definitely an upper/lower case issue. after renaming the file - sync works, it's just a painful experience to rename some 100 files
This issue has been marked as "needs info" 4 weeks ago. Please take a look again and try to provide the information requested, otherwise the issue will be automatically closed in 2 weeks. Thank you!
I fixed the problem manually, what can I provide?
@ferdiga Everything is fine. I guess we will improve the error message.
Hi I just had the same problem between linux and windows clients I renamed a bunch of files from MiXEdCase filename to lowercase filename on my linux box, the filenames basically didn't change except the case
And right now, my windows client show me a conflict error for each renamed files, and is uploading back the MiXedCase files, creating hundreds of duplicates on my linux client.
both clients are 3.4.4 (on windows 10 and mint 20) Server is 23.0.4
Similar to #4103
So now a conflict resolution is provided see picture below.
however, the existing filename is empty, so it requires the user to search for the existing filename prior setting the new name.
case clash conflict resolution still has an issue for me (client 3.13.3). the dialog shows a filename but clicking OK just leads to the dialog staying open and the OK button being grayed out.
How to use GitHub
Expected behaviour
clicking on the error message should open a meaningful message. "meaningful" - as I do not understand the source of the error I can't say what is meaningful
Actual behaviour
the error message points to a directory - I do not see any case sensitive issues in the directory name.
