This was originally reported by @combaudon at cozy/cozy-sync#73

Par contre bug:
Tout mes fichiers synchronisés font le même poid (20,8 Ko) et sont illisibles (.ODT, .PDF, .DOC) excepté les fichiers .JPG qui ont conservé aussi leur libellé mais à l'ouverture sont tous les mêmes!
En fait il s'agit d'un .JPG qui fait 20,8 Ko et que j'avais déposé dans un répertoire de "FILE" puis ensuite transféré via COZYCLOUD dans "PHOTO".

Salut @combaudon et désolé pour le retard. Nous avons mis le client desktop en standby pour le mois à venir pour se focaliser sur le client mail et j'ai laissé passer ton issue dans l'oubli. Toute mes excuses.

Pour ton problème, ça ressemble à une erreur de transfert mal géré par le client, qui mettrait du coup le message d'erreur dans les fichier à la place de leur contenu correct. Peux-tu essayer de changer l'extension d'un fichier en .txt et de l'ouvrir ?

When a file has been added remotely, it does not have a checksum.

Consequently, when it is moved locally for the first time, it is reuploaded.

It's been a while I am trying to install cozy-desktop on OSX.
I installed node (but don't know how to install 'build-essentatials' on OSX).
Everything goes fine untill I launch cozy-desktop sync which stays at "info - Remote watcher | Start building your filesystem on your device."
At this point I can see my device on my cozy cloud

Then after installing GUI, and after 'node_modules/.bin/gulp leveldown' the command cozy-desktop sync do not work and return :
"/usr/local/lib/node_modules/cozy-desktop/node_modules/pouchdb/node_modules/leveldown/node_modules/bindings/bindings.js:83
throw e

GUI will never show and files will never synced.

(I have try to install /uninstall multiple times and have to say that on the first time GUI was launching, even the icon tray)

EDIT : renaming /usr/local/lib/node_modules/cozy-desktop/node_modules/nodewebkit/package.json into _package.json allow me to launch UI, system icon tray is here and UI can be launched without errors. But sync is still not working

So it s look like that s a leveldown packaging error.

The on-boarding is awesome! These are just few details:

@nono On the second screen would it be possible to have an example in the form imput (like cozyxxx.cozycloud.cc)? I was going to put my email address, as it is the case in every other on-boarding process.

@kelukelu About those link just above the big button (like "Don't have an account? Request one") could it be possible to underline them, at least when hovering them? It would be tremendously better in terms of accessibility.

And maybe a go back button, sometimes you press Next too fast.

My two cents :)

For now, the move operation triggers 2 "deletion" messages, and 1 "addition" message.
It would nice to have just one "moved" message.

Right now, the Cozy Desktop tray icon is not visible in the notification bar (top-right corner of the screen) in Ubuntu 13.10+.

This is related to a "whitelist" system introduced on Ubuntu 13.10+

See http://askubuntu.com/questions/30742/how-do-i-access-and-enable-more-icons-to-be-in-the-system-tray

Here is the sync protocol described by Syncthing. It could be a good idea at some point to follow it. So Cozy would be compatible with @syncthing.

https://github.com/syncthing/specs/blob/master/BEPv1.md

More visible in the GUI:

Log mentions sometimes /home/kload/syncdir/myfile.ext, sometimes myfile.ext, and sometimes even /home/kload/syncdir/home/kload/syncdir/myfile.ext

When I read that it .cozyignore was working like .gitignore, I put it into my synchronized folder ... but it did not work. I figured out that I had to put it in my home directory. Is there a reason for that ? If not, what about puting into the synchronized folder ? If yes, I think that the documentation should be clear on that.
Thanks for the work, it seems to be working already!

That would be nice to save logs in a file. That the user could send it to us.

Conflicts between two devices are not properly handled.

I can't reproduce it every time, but move operations don't work properly. Many times it duplicates the file instead of moving it.

I am thinking about an enhancement that would allow user to choose which files to sync from his cozy.

That would be either select files/folder in the cozy-desktop app to sync or select files/folder in cozy instance that should not be synced to devices.

For example, if I uploaded all the pictures from my mobile phone they'll appear in CozyFiles and thus being synced to my desktop. I would like to be able not to sync them on my Desktop.

We may want to consider using https://github.com/LinusU/fs-xattr in order to consistently link a document ID to a file.

It would ease the file modification's comparison at client launching.

A warning is raised in my node webkit console:

warning: possible EventEmitter memory leak detected. %d listeners added. Use emitter.setMaxListeners() to increase limit." 31"

So just tried this on windows and there is 1 or 2 errors :
#1 - Download & reupload

Not sure if this an error, but when i firs sync my folder (local empty), I have :

Both apps have close behavior. There is probably some code that we could mutualize.

Make sure that the file is redownloaded when an overwrite occurs remotely.

Eventually, the deletion or addition of multiple files locally is not detected well by the FS watcher and does not apply in DB and remotely.

It is probably due to a too ealry blocking of the FS watcher.

Reproduced randomly on Ubuntu 14.04 with a SSD

Steps to reproduce

1. Add 15 files to your synchronization directory
2. Delete those 15 files
3. If everything went well, repeat those steps

My Cozy Cloud is under a HAProxy SSL forcing config. Certificates is not self-signed, I'd made my own authority for sign it.

So when the desktop-client try to connect on my cloud, he want to check the CA, but I believe that failed.

Can we add a option to bypass SSL certificates check ?

Travis is stuned after the functional test.

Many unit tests are missing. Which is sad.

Hi,

I can successfully install, add a device and connect to my cozy. Files from my cozy are getting copied, at start time. However, sync doesn't seem to be working (in any direction, that is: from the cozy to my device; from my device to the cozy).

Version info:

Cozy:

If there's anything I can do to help you debug all of this more, please let me know..

When a file is downloaded no progress is displayed.

Handle behavior that provokes errors more properly.

We should build a test suite with many heavy operations.

That one is probably a big one. But when a file is changed, the whole file is uploaded. That's not very efficient.

Any idea about where the problem comes from?

Hi all,

First of all, thanks for the great work on cozy. I’ve been experimenting with it in the last weeks and it is a real pleasure to use.

I’ve got an issue with the Cozy Desktop syncing application. When I start the daemon, it correctly recovers files from the Cozy server. However, when I add or modify a file on the server while the application is running, it is not taken into account, and I need to restart it. By the way, I also have strange behavior on locally created and deleted files, but I guess this must be linked to the read only version.

I’m using the .deb file to install cozy-desktop, on a Debian jessie (testing). I tried to build it myself with npm, but it fails because of external dependencies. However, it cannot install fsevents due to incompatible architecture (requires darwin), I don’t know if it is linked. I run my cozy server in a docker container, with only 443 and 80 ports forwarded.

Is it a normal behavior in the current version ?

Just run a test on a "powerful" computer. It took almost 3 hours to upload ~5500 small files (basically a node_modules directory full of .js files). The upload was made to a local VM, thus with no bandwidth overhead whatsoever.

The time between each upload is about 1sec, mostly due to checksum calculation.

Anyway we need to improve that somehow.

They apply two operations : delete then create. Relying on renaming (changing path) would be more efficient.

Set a lot of debug trace because it's tedious to fix bugs.

I installed the cozy-desktop and I execute command "cozy-desktop add-remote-cozy https://url.of.my.cozy/ /cozy",it have no error,but when I run "cozy-desktop sync",It have error:

what reason lead to this error? I do not know what to do!

Users behind a proxy are unable to synchronize their files as there is no way for now to setup the URL of a proxy.

On my computer, the FS watcher is taking around 5% of my CPU in idle mode, and the live replication around 70%!

It is definitely not reliable to keep this live replication on a laptop on battery, but even on a desktop we should find some better way.

We should be able to detect local DB modifications, and getting just-in-time synchronization with remote. And from remote, we should try to pull modifications every 5sec for instance.

It seems by default, the mime type of files is image/jpeg.
