Description

@db-ot

Steps to Reproduce

  • Create a .txt file.
  • Open the file in the web application and in a local application at the same time.
  • Make different changes in both versions.
  • Save both versions (first the local file, then the web version).
  • Close both applications.
  • Open the sync process.
  • A small temporary message appears and disappears after a few seconds.
  • A conflict file is created without any clear explanation.

Expected Behavior

  • The user should be clearly informed that the file is open and modified in multiple locations.
  • When a conflict occurs, the warning or error message should remain visible longer or appear as a prominent notification.
  • The conflict file should be clearly explained, or the user should be explicitly notified that a duplicate/conflict file has been created.

Actual Behavior

  • No clear notification is shown by the background sync service.
  • Only a short-lived message appears in the sync service UI and then disappears.
  • There is no notification that the file was opened or modified in multiple locations.
  • A conflict file is created with the title “conflicted copy ” without any further explanation.
