According to https://www.insynchq.com/downloads, version 3.3.9.40955 added support for Dolphin file manager overlay icons. But in my laptop (KDE Neon 5.21 fully updated) it doesn’t work, i.e. not overlay icons are showed.
When I launch Dolphin from console I get this message:
kf.kio.widgets: The "Insync" plugin still installs the desktop file for plugin loading. Please use JSON metadata instead, see KAbstractFileItemActionPlugin class docs for instructions.
Is this a problem with my current setup or there is something wrong with the Dolphin support?
Are you viewing a folder that is currently synced by Insync? (ex. ~/Insync/[EMAIL]/Google Drive/[FOLDER OR FILE]) The status overlay icons are only shown for files that are synced or are currently syncing by Insync
Yes, of course. But my Insync folder is in /home/myUserName/Google Drive/myUserName@gmail.com and is stored in a NTFS partition. Is this a problem for Insync?
I’ve created another user on my system and Insync is working perfectly there. So I asumed that there was something wrong with my current user configuration.
I’ve removed my .config/Insync and .local/share/Insync folders, renamed my “Google Drive” folder to just “Insync” and lauched the Insync start wizard. The first sync is still in progress but Dolphin overlay icons are already showing up. So I guess that some config was messed up during some update. Even the context menu options are working again.
@mia I seem to have hit the same issue. As I have many things already setup is there a way I can remove my configs and do not loose track of the folders I want to backup?
Removing the configs mean that you have to start from scratch. But for as long as you use the same sync folder when you set it up again, Insync will check the local files that were previously synced and match those with what’s in the cloud.
