How the "Edit locally" functionality works
|
|
------------------------------------------
|
|
This functionality depends on the desktop client ability to register the mime to handle the nc:// scheme. That is the handler used by the server to open a file locally. This will allow the desktop client to open a document with the local editor when you click on the option "Edit locally" in your Nextcloud instance.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
Without properly registering the mime, independent of the browser and distro being used, the desktop client will fail to open a document with the local editor when you click on the option "Edit locally" in your Nextcloud instance.
|
|
|
|
The browser will warn you of the failure: "Failed to launch 'nc://...' because the scheme does not have a registered handler."
|
|
|
|
How to enable it
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
In order to do that, you need to install the desktop client with the MSI installer on Windows or use a third party software to integrate the AppImage in your system on Linux.
|
|
|
|
On Linux
|
|
^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
We use AppImage due to its universal compatibility but to take full advantage of the desktop client features you will need a third part software to integrate the AppImage in your system: we have tested `AppImageLauncher <https://github.com/TheAssassin/AppImageLauncher>`_ and alternatively there is `Go AppImage <https://github.com/probonopd/go-appimage>`_.
|
|
|
|
On Windows
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
The MSI installer will alter your system registry to register the mime to handle the nc:// scheme.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you can manually register the mime to handle the nc:// scheme:
|
|
|
|
1. Save the following content to a .reg file:
|
|
```
|
|
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
|
|
|
|
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\nc\shell\open\command]
|
|
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\Nextcloud\\nextcloud.exe\" \"%1\""
|
|
```
|
|
2. Double click on the .reg file to import it into the registry.
|
|
|

Some Files Are Continuously Uploaded to the Server, Even When They Are Not Modified.
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
It is possible that another program is changing the modification date of the file.
|
|
If the file is uses the ``.eml`` extension, Windows automatically and
|
|
continually changes all files, unless you remove
|
|
``\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\PropertySystem\PropertyHandlers``
|
|
from the windows registry.
|

Syncing Stops When Attempting To Sync Deeper Than 100 Sub-directories.
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The sync client has been intentionally limited to sync no deeper than 100
|
|
sub-directories. The hard limit exists to guard against bugs with cycles
|
|
like symbolic link loops.
|
|
When a deeply nested directory is excluded from synchronization it will be
|
|
listed with other ignored files and directories in the "Not synced" tab of
|
|
the "Activity" pane.
|
|
|
|
There Was A Warning About Changes In Synchronized Folders Not Being Tracked Reliably.
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
On linux when the synchronized folder contains very many subfolders the
|
|
operating system may not allow for enough inotify watches to monitor the
|
|
changes in all of them.
|
|
|
|
In this case the client will not be able to immediately start the
|
|
synchronization process when a file in one of the unmonitored folders changes.
|
|
Instead, the client will show the warning and manually scan folders for changes
|
|
in a regular interval (two hours by default).
|
|
|
|
This problem can be solved by setting the fs.inotify.max_user_watches
|
|
sysctl to a higher value. This can usually be done either temporarily::
|
|
|
|
echo 524288 > /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches
|
|
|
|
or permanently by adjusting ``/etc/sysctl.conf``.

I Want To Move My Local Sync Folder
|
|
-----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The Nextcloud desktop client does not provide a way to change the local sync directory.
|
|
However, it can be done, though it is a bit unorthodox.
|
|
Specifically, you have to:
|
|
|
|
1. Remove the existing connection which syncs to the wrong directory
|
|
2. Add a new connection which syncs to the desired directory
|
|
|
|
.. figure:: images/setup/remove.png
|
|
:alt: Remove an existing connection
|
|
|
|
To do so, in the client UI, which you can see above, click the "**Account**" drop-down menu and then click "Remove".
|
|
This will display a "**Confirm Account Removal**" dialog window.
|
|
|
|
.. figure:: images/setup/confirm.png
|
|
:alt: Remove existing connection confirmation dialog
|
|
|
|
If you're sure, click "**Remove connection**".
|
|
|
|
Then, click the Account drop-down menu again, and this time click "**Add new**".
|
|
|
|
.. figure:: images/setup/wizard.png
|
|
:alt: Replacement connection wizard
|
|
|
|
This opens the Nextcloud Connection Wizard, which you can see above, *but* with an extra option.
|
|
This option provides the ability to either: keep the existing data (synced by the previous connection) or to start a clean sync (erasing the existing data).
|
|
|
|
.. important::
|
|
|
|
Be careful before choosing the "Start a clean sync" option. The old sync folder *may* contain a considerable amount of data, ranging into the gigabytes or terabytes. If it does, after the client creates the new connection, it will have to download **all** of that information again. Instead, first move or copy the old local sync folder, containing a copy of the existing files, to the new location. Then, when creating the new connection choose "*keep existing data*" instead. The Nextcloud client will check the files in the newly-added sync folder and find that they match what is on the server and not need to download anything.
|
|
|
|
Make your choice and click "**Connect...**".
|
|
This will then step you through the Connection Wizard, just as you did when you setup the previous sync connection, but giving you the opportunity to choose a new sync directory.
