All todo.txt files get empty when synced with other devices #241

Do you want to request a feature or report a bug? Bug or question

What is the current behavior? I'm syncing the /Todo folder (where todo.txt, done.txt and report.txt are located) between an Android device and a Macbook Pro with Syncthing. Every time the folder is synced, the content of the files are emptied. I can't even view and restore past versions of these files with the native Mac OS "browse" feature.

If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce and if possible a minimal demo of the problem.

  1. set export TODO_DIR="/Users/jerome/Sync/Todo"``,export TODO_FILE="$TODO_DIR/todo.txt"``` (idem for others) in .config.
  2. sync the folder with Syncthing

What is the expected behavior? The files to get correctly sync without being emptied. Which versions todo.sh are you using? TODO.TXT Command Line Interface v2.10

Which Operating System are you using? Mac OS High Sierra 10.13.1 (17B1003)

Which version of bash are you using? GNU bash, version 3.2.57(1)-release (x86_64-apple-darwin17)

That's very likely going to be a problem with Syncthing, not with todo.txt. todo.txt is just a script that views and manipulates the output of regular text files in a certain structured way. If something is emptying your files, it's a problem with either the android app or with Syncthing.
