Known Issues and Limitations

  • If a file enters the “conflicted” state there is no way to get it out of this state currently (see Issue 102)

  • The status WebSocket (see Status API) endpoint produces a lot of output when there are lots of files; see Issue 686 for more.

  • Unicode filenames are supported on both Linux and Windows, but on Linux the local name of a file must be encoded correctly in order for it to be uploaded. The expected encoding is that printed by python -c "import sys; print sys.getfilesystemencoding()".

  • On Windows, magic-folder run may be unresponsive to Ctrl-C (it can only be killed using Task Manager or similar). (#2218)
