autosync vs locked files

[kdmoyers]

What happens if autosync tries to update a local file with a more recent version from the remote computer, but the local file is currently locked by a program running on the local computer? What does it do?

This is actually not as arcane as it might sound. If I want to sync a password file, it might happen that the local password manager program has the file open!

Thanks!

AutoSync will skip that locked file and try to update it in next scheduled time.

BTW, AutoSync will maintain up 2 old versions of a changed file.

Thanks for this question and thank you for using Gbridge!

This is probably the wrong topic as my remark is more or less a feature request :

I'm syncing lots of very small text files in deep directory structures - would it be possible to get an option to skip creation of those "--gbsync?-" files ?

(It's not really easy to get rid of them if you want to restore a directory structure from a synched version and the --gbsync?- files take quite some disk space).

To keep the gui simple, we didn't add knob to control the number of version Gbridge keeps. We will consider adding it in later release. Thanks!
