Debounce syncing?

bdube
in Acrosync for Windows
Hello,

would it be possible to add a debounce to option to the GUI / command line client that when a file is changed, it waits some period of time - say, 5 seconds - before initializing a sync?

Currently, when e.g. a .tex file is compiled, it syncs several times for each of the files created (.pdf, .aux, .log, etc) instead of one push for all of it.  A debounce would, I think, solve this issue.

    The current wait time is hard-coded at 2 seconds.  I'll make it configurable in the next update.

    Is the debounce implemented per-file?  Directory?  Profile?

    tex2pdf will spit out all of those files in a fraction of a second, even a 2 second delay should mean they all go at once.

    The debounce is per profile.  Acrosync will try to bundle all changed files together and pass them as included patterns to one rsync all.  So I don't know why it is different for you.  Can you post some logs here with the 'Verbose logging' option checked?

    Sorry for the delay -- here is a log; the timestamp at 2018/03/26 01:46:39 is the beginning of pdftex running.

    It may be to do with the files being busy as pdflatex runs.

    I think this is a bug.  It doesn't seem like the delay of 2 seconds was handled properly.


    If the 2 second delay isn't enough, you can add a registry value HKCU\Software\Acrosync\AcrosyncClient\AutoUploadDelay as a DWORD with a value equal to the number of seconds you want the delay to be.

    This seems to have fixed it, thanks!
