I deleted all labels and label events from my Configuration. The problem did NOT go away.
I then followed your suggestion with a fresh install, and -as you usually are - you were quite right. With the new configuration OneDrive works to spec.
It did throw up something very interesting, however. This is downloading a file back to my PC in the fresh configuration:
I am about to embark on rebuilding my config bit by bit in the hope that I may unearth the problem. I will report how I get on, but, as they say, I may be some time as in is a massive configuration.
I do think that taking labels out of the OneDrive equation, is a very good idea.
Yes, Leo - it was one of the first things I tried after you said you thought the problem was labels. I cannot think of where else to look for for labels, but I am not 100 per cent convinced that is the problem. Turning off all the labels never made any difference, After all.
Maybe Microsoft have been playing with OneDrive again in build 1809. I had never seen that black downloading box until I was moved to 1809. I think I will pause and await the promised re-release of 1809 and possibly your suggested label fix.
Did you look in both Preferences / Favorites & Recent (the global list of labels) and in folder options for each of the tabs in your lister (the labels assigned to specific tabs or folder formats)?
Yes, Leo, I tried both those avenues. I even tried disabling every label I have via /Favorites And Recent. Disabling made all my labels disappear, so I am sure it worked.
Sorry to say, Jon, but the new beta makes no difference to my problem. The second I try to "clear space" the black box pops up and Opus downloads all the files I marked to clear.
I will do that later today. In the meantime does this scenario help?
I have a folder of PDF file on oneDrive. Dealing with them in Opus incurs all the problems I have already outlined.
However when I point Opus to another folder that is not on onedrive and use Explorer to clear the space on those files, Explorer stores the files online as expected.
Now when I use Opus to look at the folder of PDFs, they do NOT start downloading. I then ask Opus to open one of the files in Acrobat reader and it duly does, and the rest of the files are not downloaded. I close the Reader file and run clear space on it from within Opus. All the files are immediately downloaded as before.
I also go back to the point I made that my registry shows that Opus should not be downloading files. Why is it doing this even though the registry entry to stop this action is enabled?
It looks like label-filters are still in use. Is that correct? Were some created/restored after you disabled them all?
Would it be possible to generate a similar log file but without any filtering?
The log only shows what dopus.exe is doing, so we can't tell if another process is triggering the download (possibly triggered by something Opus is doing in turn), which makes it hard to tell exactly what is happening.
Could you do a config backup (Settings > Backup & Restore) and email that to crashdumps@gpsoft.com.au for us to try with that? (Don't attach it here, in case there's anything private in the data.)
Sorry Leo, I can't work out how to attach the zip to a private message, iI have sent the config to you personal (leo@gpsoft.com.au )email at opus. I think the zip file is being blocked as a security threat, perhaps
