Trying to detail out the issue I had...can't quite put a timeline on it, but something didn't back-up or sync properly.
- Was working on 2 files that are all stored in my VCS folder.
- My VCS folder is on my hard drive (was getting too may conflict errors trying to integrate with dropbox, so I abandoned that idea)
- I leave the VCS application running all the time.
- VWX is set to auto-save and back-up every 25 operations to a generic dropbox folder.
VWX crashed.
I re-opened the files, and the state was much older than 25 operations on both of them...my guess is maybe 150-200? I also found my back-up files were significantly out-of-date too.
The web portal for our VCS also had the out-of-date files.
The VCS app showed everything was up-to-date, but my files were not listed. I closed and re-opened the VCS app, and the syncing resumed.
I also noticed in doing some digging that the file only uploads to VCS when you close it. Is this correct? How does the file behave if the application crashes?
After I re-opened the file, I worked on it and watched the backup folder. This time, it seemed to behave properly.
If I had to guess...the auto-save/backup wasn't working properly and the file didn't save to VCS because it crashed?
