Files are moved on Left Side, when exact Mirror from Left to Right is used

Post by Ibeme »

I currently do have a strange problem with Syncovery and I don't know what the cause of it is.
A Exact Copy is used from left to right with default Settings.

After the initial Copy from Left to Right I started the Profile in attended mode again.
Now it wan't to move some files on the left side instead of moving or creating them on the right side.

I don't know what exactly causes this because the exact mirror shouldn't move any Files on the Left Side.
When I rename the Folder on the Rights Side it wants to move even more data on the Left Side.

Any idea what could be the problem?

Hi,
it's probably a bug caused by the smarter move logic introduced recently. I will look into it and fix it immediately.

As additional info:

I just updated to the newest version 10.9.5 but the problem persists.

When I enable to detect renames it doesn't seem to move anything on the Left Side.
But I never had to enable it before.

I'm waiting for your findings. :)

Thank you in advance.

Update:

On another Profile on which this happens even detect renames doesn't help.

Hello,
this has been fixed in version 10.9.6 now. I do not generally recommend the option "Detect Renamed Files" because it's based on file size and mofification dates only, not the actual content. So there could sometimes be incorrect detections of a renamed file.

I just updated and can confirm that it is now no longer moving files on the wrong side. :)
Thank you. ;)
