Preview Window shows non zero Completed Num before any syncing

Post by ds00424 »

Hi Again.
V14.0.1.6
I run the preview and get all the out of sync items (a lot - 742).
At this point Total Num = 742, Completed Num = 0 and Filtered Num = 4117 and all items are checked.

If I uncheck a directory of files (so as to not sync them) the numbers change as follows:
Total Num = 737, Completed Num = 82 and Filtered Num = 4107
In case it matters, the directory that was unchecked had 5 files in it in a few sub directories.

The Completed Num is concerning.
The change in Filtered Num, not so concerning, but perhaps worth looking into / explaining.
The change in Total Num seems correct.

In checking an unchecking some things in the Preview window, it seems like Completed Num decreases by 1 when a directory on the source side is NOT on the target side and is unchecked.
When only files that exist on both sides are checked, the Completed Num=0.
BTW, after Filtered Num changes the first time, it did not change again.

HTH.

A little more.
In the preview window I had it down to 2 files to sync.
Total Num = 2, Completed Num = 0 and Filtered Num = 4107

I then did the sync. It took a while for the first file to complete (possible my previous post?) and then the second completed quickly.
However the stats now say:
Total Num = 4107, Completed Num = 567 and Filtered Num = 4107

That is a little scary as i really hope it only synced 2 files and NOT 567 files.
From the output, it looks like only my 2 files were synced (sigh), but the stats should be corrected.

thx.

Are you using the real-time sync feature?
When real-time sync is running, there are synchronized files. If you check/uncheck folder or files, the Completed Num changes.

Sry for the delay. Travel and holidays...
No this is not real time sync. This is on demand.
With previous version (I think I was on 2013), this worked as expected.
