that's correct. > So the question is: Should we really try to support moving the > shared directory from the client? I think we should try to support it. Organizing your shares freely was one of the main goal for the changes.

Probably we have to think about it. If I understood you correctly this is only a issue if changes happen on the client side while the sync client doesn't run. Maybe we could split-up the sync client in two components. One component could by a small daemon who gets started with the system and monitors the changes to the file system. If the user starts the ownCloud sync client we could ask the daemon what happened. Sure, the admin could still stop the daemon. But that's something different from closing a application in the system tray. That's just a random idea I had in mind while reading your mail. The main idea is to always track file system changes, even if the user decides to stop the sync client for some reasons (e.g. because he is in a local network and don't want that the sync client tries to re-connect again and again). I don't know much about the internals of the sync client. Maybe it is a bad idea. > Should we ignore this problem as a corner case? (IMHO not, because > its implication are bad enough). I don't think we should ignore it. Sharing documents by accident can be really painful. This should be avoided at all costs. cheers, Björn -- Björn Schießle <[email protected]> Software Developer ownCloud GmbH - www.owncloud.com Your Data, Your Cloud, Your Way! ownCloud GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, Holger Dyroff, Frank Karlitschek Schloßäckerstrasse 26a, 90443 Nürnberg, HRB 28050 (AG Nürnberg)
