The desktop client team has hit the release button on the first rc for the upcoming 3.1 and thereās a number of things they would love feedback on.
First, the new version is shipped as a MSI on windows - how is that working out?
Second, how is memory consumption going? We had some memory leaks in 3.0.x and hopefully have addressed those.
Third, there is a new debug archive button in the settings, which continuously logs and helps us find problems. Howās that working?
There is a new conflict dialog window, howās that doing?
There is one known issue: E2EE can trigger a code path in the server-side app which chokes the server and causes a variety of weird issues. This will really need a change on the server app, and until that is done please donāt use the 3.1RC client with E2EE as it will just cause all kinds of problemsā¦ You can track this issue here.
You can grab the release on github (click the little asset line for the various packages) or from our download server.
Problem solved.
Located a configured access control rule in in Workflow area denying access for non admin users of the Desktop client. That rule removed and it now works.
I was hoping this new version would fix the long standing issue we have had with the Windows client, that (for regular users) it does not āSeeā the files or folders whose access control is handled by āGroup Foldersā.
Havenāt seen any memory leaks so far on a few computers.
About the conflict dialogā¦ It gets the job done, but the conflict is still showing until a sync occurs. I am inpatient so I trigger a āForce Syncā to get my icon green again. Would be nice if it happened automatically and immediately.
Excuse the possible unrelatedness, but on that note, is it viable to add the āForce Syncā entry in the tray icon context menu to make a forced sync more accessible?
I tried some 3.x version (dont remember which one) and it was not fixed yet.
IMO a severe bug: user thinks it is synced, changes file, saves, server version syncs > conflict! The user is baffled - why is there a conflict? It showed the green checkmark!
