File Manager does not save changes to temp files

[blunweon]

First off, would like to say that I love this app and it has made me switch over to religiously only use this.

However, after recent updates, I noticed that when I opened temporary files to edit (e.g settings.yml) and after saving, the changes are not reflected in the filesystem.

As you can see, after editing the settings.yml, it did not reflect the changes in the filesystem and was still labeled as last updated "17:02", which was when I used WinSCP to manually go in and edit it.

Please let me know if I am doing something wrong, which caused this issue.

So I haven't encountered this issue and am not able to reproduce this. Does this happen everywhere, all the time, or are there specific conditions? I assume this is Windows 11 with vscode as the editor?

[blunweon]

This has been happening to me since 10.0.3 I think, since I haven't really been trying to edit files through the file manager. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, but more often than not, it doesn't want to save.

This is Windows 11 with Sublime Text as the editor.

This is the logs when I try to edit and save a file.

xpipe.log

I see that xpipe is using powershell as the local shell. It usually does that when cmd doesn't work as expected, maybe you got an error message about that on first launch.

You can see what happens if you go to Settings -> Local shell and disable the fallback.

I will test this with powershell

I disabled the fallback and killed the task through task manager. It still does not seem to want to save, this are the logs after a short test:

xpipe.log

Ok so what you can do is go to Settings -> Troubleshoot -> Launch in debug mode. That should print all file editing details.

You can send me the logs per email or discord or alternatively only paste the relevant part here.

Okay so from what I can see, it does not think that there are changes in the file (might be due to it being small edits?) whenever I hit save on the text editor.

I encounter this problem as well when copying-and-pasting chunks of texts from start of file to end of file, where it thinks that there are no changes.

I see the issue, it's a bug on my end

[blunweon]

Thank you for the fast response.

As from my limited understanding, the script checks for a change in file size, hence resulting in an update in file.

I'm wondering if a rearranging of texts in a .yaml file would still get updated through the File Manager as theoretically the size does not change as new texts are not being added?

Nonetheless, thank you for putting out such an amazing awesome product!

[crschnick]

It should check for time as well, but that is currently broken.

This should now be fixed in 10.1.1
