Incomplete copy if app is terminated too early #113

Open tripodsan opened 8 years ago

tripodsan commented 8 years ago

The local sync copies the files directly to the destination directory. If the application is terminated before the sync is complete, it will not resume the next time the application starts - e.g. the application has no way to figure out that the copy was incomplete.

suggest:

copy to temporary sibling directory
after completion do a rename, rename, delete action:
old.renameTo(trash); new.renameTo(old); trash.delete();

@tripodsan which platforms do you see the behaviour on?
