Syncthing: Syncing All the Things
One of the things I have found very useful is to configure Syncthing to have "sync only once" folders (it sends the file only one time).In order to do that, I:- Set a folders in a device to "send only".
- Set a folder in a different device to "receive only".
- Set the "Ignore delete" advanced option for the desired folders on both devices.And that's it! I use it mainly to do some manual processing of the received photos and videos with Shotwell (copying and sorting my library into Year/Month/Day directories).You may run into some issues where you may be promoted to "revert local additions" (I think on the receiver's end)... This mainly happens for two reasons:- if you deleted a file on the receiver's "sync only once" folder
- if you use a single folder where there may be other incoming files from other synced folders.It is best to avoid the latter scenario; a quick fix for the first one is to make sure to delete the media first in the sender's device's folder and afterwards delete it on the receiver's device's folder.After that, you can click "revert local additions", and the message should go away.
