Thanks for this fantastic tool! I have a question about syncing using two computers.

After I pair my DPT-RP1 with a new computer, I need to sync a Dropbox folder to my digital paper, both this tool (and the official digital paper app) will upload a lot of documents again. I use Dropbox to sync that folder between different computers, and on both computers the paths are exactly the same.

I was wondering what is the possible reason that exactly the same document would be treated differently? Thanks!

Two possible causes come to mind:

  • Either: Dropbox does not transfer the hidden .sync, which used to store metadata about synchronization.
  • Or: Dropbox changes the modification time for the transferred documents, so they appear to have been changed.

If the cause is a missing .sync file, this will be handled better once #88 is merged.
