Nuxeo Drive - Exclude some files of the synchronisation
Hi,
Can we exclude some files in the synchronization of NuxeoDrive?
For example, when editing a ODT file with LibreOffice / OpenOffice, it automatically creates a .lock file and it is synchronized by NuxeoDrive the repository.
Problem: When you are subscriber notification on the folder, an email is received for the .lock file
Thks
I'm under Ubuntu 12.04 with LibreOffice 4.3
When I open an ODS file with LibreOffice, the file “.~Lock.Main courante.ods#” synchronizes and gets directly into the trash.
Hi,
There is a set of prefixes / suffixes that should be ignored by Drive:
DEFAULT_IGNORED_SUFFIXES = [
'~', # editor buffers
'.swp', # vim swap files
'.lock', # some process use file locks
'.LOCK', # other locks
'.part', # partially downloaded files
]
DEFAULT_IGNORED_PREFIXES = [
'.', # hidden Unix files
'~$', # Windows lock files
'Thumbs.db', # Thumbnails files
]
Strange that in your case the .lock file is uploaded to the server.
In my case, under Ubuntu, when editing an ODT file with LibreOffice, the temp file is named .~lock.Test.odt#
, so it is ignored because it starts with a dot (.)
What is your OS and version of Nuxeo Drive?
Note that for now you cannot customize these prefixes / suffixes as they're hardcoded in the client code, yet this improvement is planned and tracked by NXDRIVE-158.
