Xubuntu 18.04
Client 2.5.0git
RPi based Box with Snappy Nextcloud
After the new client installed (2.5.0git) all still works but instead of the green ticks I now have yellow â!â marks with the message, âThere are unresolved conflicts. Click for details.â
However, these âunresolved conflictsâ are all just âFile/Folder is on the ignore listâ or âFile/Folder is ignored because itâs hiddenâ.
I have, and always have had, the âSync hidden filesâ box unticked
I tried ticking this but it still showed the same (with only âFile/Folder is on the ignore listâ errors as expected)
Is this behaviour now normal?
Surely, if files are supposed to be ignored then a warning isnât necessary?
Not the end of the world but I do miss the satisfaction factor of seeing nice plump green ticks
To fix the issue, I also had to completely close the Nextcloud client and re-open it. After a rescan, it figured it out and now gives me the green âtickâ icon
Iâm having exactly the same issue â just updated to latest NextCloud client on my Mac and Iâm being told there are conflicts and Iâve got the exclamation mark. Clicking on âThere are resolved conflictsâ does absolutely nothing. A search for anything with _conflict in it returns nothing.
OK â turns out that there were files with _conflict in them. However, they were inside app and other packages and the regular spotlight search does not find these. I had to resort to other tools to discover them. Once I got rid of them, the icon went green â note that I did not have to restart the application
@dhjdhj Hello David, would you kind to other to share the way that you used to locate the â_conflictâ files ? Thank you for all who struggle with that
In GNU/Linux, and in theory MacOS, one can use the find utility to find all files containing âconflicted copyâ and delete them.
Find all conflicted copies in the home directory and delete them:
find ~ -iname "*conflicted copy*" -delete
Find all conflicted copies in the current working directory and delete them:
find . -iname "*conflicted copy* -delete
This helped me. You should manually review important files just to be sure. They really need to program this so it finds conflicted based on their checksumsâŠ
My experience with conflicting files was, to take a detailed view into the files before deleting them. Sometimes a conflicting file may be more recent than the âoriginalâ file. Data files should be opened and checked for the latest changes.
In Owncloud very often the conflicting files were ok but the âoriginalâ files were damaged (a few bytes smaller than conflicting files) and could not be opened by MS-Excel or Word anymore. - In Nextcloud I never had this consistency-problem, but you never can be sureâŠ
