First Sync

[martin-arg]

Hi, after some minor testing I'm trying to sync my vault, it's not huge but I have a few hundred files there. So firstly I would like to ask some function for the first sync, some kind of message that everything has been synced so I can relax, secondly a question what will happen if I connect a second computer with the same files? Will they be synced or duplicated? Thirdly, it would be nice to be able to force sync in one direction if you know there will be problems. Finally, the plugin keeps disconnecting and the server logs say [SERVER] Disconnected Missed Heartbeats.
Thank you so much for this plugin.

Hi, for now there is no feedback for when the first sync has finished, but i'll try and find a way to give a message when the first sync has finished.

If you connect a second device with the same files (same folder/files structure) they will be synced with what's on the server.

The syncing process is timestamp based, using server time, but if you add files offline it will use the device time, so unless you are modifying the same file at the same time on 2 different computers - you shouldn't have any problems unless you have different clocks on those 2 devices.
In case something goes wrong, you can always go to file history and revert to a previous version

Regarding the disconnect because of missed heartbeats, that's a bit odd since it shouldn't happen (probably a small network layer bug) but even if it happens, the files will be correctly synced, but it will take longer, and after the first sync you shouldn't see any more disconnects.

I'm traveling the next few weeks so i'm not really sure when i'll be able to look into these enhancements, but as soon as i do, i'll let you know.
