Sometimes I edit files on FTP sites by opening it directly from FTP. (I set DOpus to monitor files for 60 minutes.) When I save a file, it takes several (usually about 4 - 5) for DOpus to ask to upload files (or to upload it without asking, depending on setting). Is it possible to set DOpus to monitor files more frequently? WinSCP saves the file immediately after I hit Ctrl+S. I don't want to use "monitor until app exits".
I think the delay is intentional, in case the app updates the file, and/or its attributes, in multiple stages (or the user himself modifies the file several times in a row).
As far as I know there isn't currently a way to shorten the delay.
Of course I meant 4 - 5 seconds.
If file is saved several times in a row (I mean before DOpus send it to the FTP site), it might add each task to the queue.
I already posted this wish via support form: 419013310
I have exactly the same problem. Generally the FTP implementation is great - manual uploading or navigating around remote file system is really snappy (kudos the developers!). But this lag before uploading file makes remote edit really almost unusable for real development. Daroc, any news about the support ticket?
They suggested downloading files to hard disk, modifying them locally and then uploading. They also said that they will "look what they can do for me in the future versions" but they write it every time I think. (What else should they write?)
You never know what they're planning to implement in future versions.
I think "life-uploading" would be much faster if Opus didn't open additional connection to send file. It may upload it using the same connection and then - if user tries to navigate through remote directories - open additional connection for listing purposes. This is what I thought right now.
Oh, that BS suggestion! I don't know about the additional connections, but for me it looks like that Opus is checking file for changes periodically (every couple of seconds) - it could just do it more often - or maybe there are some other ways of notifying program of file change. I've checked ExpandDrive suggested by somebody on this forum - the program is really nice (the fact that the remote files are mounted as external drive is just awesome) and file upload after change is really quick, but the bad thing is that navigating this mounted remote drive is quite slow, much slower than Dopus - changing folder takes sometimes 2-3 second. So this solution is also not perfect.
