I have my my projects set up to ‘Synch with External Folder’
On opening a project I am always presented with the ‘Changes found in external folder do you want to synch?’ popup, This occurs despite the fact that these folders were synched on closing the folder. When I say yes then Scrivener appears to quickly resynch a number of files (which I always thought were the last ones changed. Then when I close the project, without making a single change in the project Scrivener appears to resync those same files again and then closes without doing a backup (the backup is correct as I didn’t make a change), Scrivener then repeats the entire process the next time I open the project.
However Windows Explorer appears to show the files in the Synched Dropbox Folder are only being updated when I have actually made a change (as does Dropbox version control). In addition a Snapshot is only being made when a change has actually been made.
The messages are both unnecessary and worrying (at least until I spent the time tracking down what was occurring (or not occurring).
