Qsync and rar files?

Post by Beemer2 »

Am I correct that a Qsync paired folder containing RAR files will not sync? I had to remove all RAR files from a custom folder before it would sync.

No one seems to have replied to this. I can confirm Qsync will not sync a split RAR file - but will do on a single RAR file. Anyone wish to comment?

The default Qsync policy excludes *.part*. This glob matches the RAR multi-part archive files and makes Qsync to ignore them. I have removed *.part* from my policy and now the RAR multi-part archive files are synced.

The drawback of removing the *.part* from the policy is that you will be syncing any file that has ".part" in it, but for now I prefer having my RARs synced, even if I have to sync some unwanted files in the process :(
