case-sensitivity conflicts

Postby dbcrvl on Thu Oct 20, 2016 7:42 am

Hi,

I am using the latest version of Syncovery on a Windows Server 2012 machine.

I have a samba share from a FreeNAS box mounted on this Windows machine.

I have a profile to copy files from this mounted folder to Google Drive. All works great except that I get a few same-name conflicts as the shared folder is case sensitive.

Access to these paths was not possible:
\path\to\file\file.ext: Duplicate Folder Name, please resolve manually


I tried mounting the share as NFS, but I get the same errors.

Even enabling the "Case sensitivity: Adjust at destination" option does not help.

What's worst is that none of the 2 folders/files are copied to the right side.

Is there a way of fixing this (ideally copying both folders and renaming one of them)?

Thanks!

This should only occur if the duplicate alraedy exists on one or both sides. You must resolve this manually, i.e. delete one of the spellings on the side(s) where the duplicate exists.

What I have on the left side is, for example:

/folder/subfolder1
/folder/subFolder1

There is nothing on the right side (first run, full copy).

When Syncovery tries to sync them to the right side it just raises a "conflict" message but none of the 2 subfolder1's is copied to the right side.

Is there any way of actually copying them or at least one of them to the right side?

This would be a great feature for a new version of the program.

It should give you the option to ignore duplicated files/folder names (current behaviour, as it does not copy any of the duplicates), sync only one of them, or sync both by adding some counter or user-defined character/string at the end.

This would make it more compatible with Linux-like systems, specially when the Linux version is not great and does not seem to be developed too much.
