Feature Request: file sync (upload/download/delete) notifications

[rubiksdot]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently it is not possible to see if a sync (file upload/download/delete) has happened when onedrive is running as a service in the background.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like to see if files got uploaded/downloaded or deleted (on either side). This would give some comfort in knowing, for eg, when to turn off the laptop or to tell someone to look on onedrive as the file should be there.

If the file is big enough it'd be nice to get a start/finish notification.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Manually checking but, well, that's a pain in the butt. I should be able to get my computer to indicate what's happening.

Additional context

Currently running 2.4.25 on Debian Bookworm.

GUI events and notifications for these events are already available.

Have you enabled them ?

[rubiksdot]

Oooh. My apologies. How? I checked the man page but I didn't spot anything.

[abraunegg]

Please read all documentation - not just the man page

[rubiksdot]

Ok. I tried. I thought it was min_notify_changes but setting that to 1 did nothing and I tried both syncing to one drive and from it.

I looked at the code and maybe this is the wrong place but

if (!downloadFailed) {
			writeln("done.");
			log.fileOnly("Downloading file ", path, " ... done.");
		} else {
			writeln("failed!");
			log.fileOnly("Downloading file ", path, " ... failed!");
		}

does not appear to indicate that the functionality is there.

I do get notifications of onedrive starting up and all but that's about it.

Honestly, am I being a bit thick/blind here or is the functionality not there and we're talking past each other?

@rubiksdot
So we are talking a number of things:

• claim that it is not possible to see when file actions are done
  • This is possible via enabling logging and parsing the log file
• notifying via the GUI of those actions
  • the code in v2.4.x lacks this - correct, however my focus has been v2.5.x over the last 18 months - sorry for the misdirect

[rubiksdot]

All good. Glad it got cleared up in the end. :) Also, understand that v2.5 would take priority. :)

@rubiksdot
This is now implemented in v2.5.0 RC3.
