ignore_regexp won't go away

[oOZeVsOo]

Hi,

I did a subfolder sync one time and since then I can't do a full sync.
I tried:
grive -p .
grive -p /my/folder
grive -s .
grive -s /my/folder
and so on.

I can't see the "ignore_regexp" in the .grive_state is still filled with the regexp from my first subfolder sync. How can I reset it ?

Thank you very much for your great work.

PS: My grive version: grive version 0.5-pre Jan 6 2016 18:55:52

Use grive --ignore ''

It seems to work but:

• the ignore_regexp is not reset so if I launch it again without --ignore it won't work
• all the improvements you just did (checksum cache) seems to be ignored (it has been running for an hour without any files synced yet).
  Thanks

Just checked it, the empty ignore regexp is saved in .grive_state without problem. Maybe you didn't let it finish the sync? The regexp is saved only after sync is finished and only without --dry-run (dry run does not change anything in local fs and thus doesn't update .grive_state).

About the second point - grive removes ignored files from the local index so it recalculates checksums when you clear the ignore regexp, and does not save them until you run it without --dry-run.

I wanted to use "-s" when needed and do an extensive sync once or twice a day. But since checksums are cleared after "-s" launch my syncs are going to be 2 hours+ long.

Is there a way to backup the checksums before "-s" launch (for other directories) or something like that ?

Thank you very much.

OK I've done it, the ignore regexp is not persistent anymore...
