Describe the bug
Not sure how to describe this since I'm seeing slightly different behavior on different machines (mostly Windows but one Linux and all Firefox). In general, the sync appears to just hang (it never stops showing the blue <----> on the icon) and on one machine it's created like....30 different copies of every bookmark.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Just....enable the add on/extension and try to sync.

Expected behavior
A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.
Working sync

Screenshots
If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS: [e.g. iOS] Windows/Linux
  • Browser [e.g. chrome, safari] Firefox
  • Browser Version [e.g. 22] 81.02
  • Floccus version: [e.g. 3.2.2] 4.4.0.1
  • Floccus sync method: [e.g. webdav, nextcloud legacy or nextcloud folders] Nextcloud folders

Server (please complete the following information):

  • OS: [e.g. centOS 7] Ubuntu
  • Nextcloud version: [if applicable] 20
  • Bookmarks app version: [if applicable] 3.4.4

Note: Please write down the actual version numbers instead of writing 'latest'.

Debug log
It is often useful to provide a debug log file along with the issue. You can obtain a debug log of the most recent sync runs by clicking 'Debug log' in the bottom right corner of the floccus panel in your browser.

Note: As your debug log usually contains large parts of your bookmark data, instead of attaching it publicly to the issue here, I recommend uploading it privately at the following URL https://klehranlage.net/index.php/s/7nn82NSBsfQKdsJ

  • Debug log provided

Really the only thing in the log I see is this:

2020-10-20T13:40:44.143Z Starting sync process for account xx@url
2020-10-20T13:40:45.168Z onSyncStart: begin
2020-10-20T13:40:45.169Z https://URL/remote.php/webdav/.floccus-.lock

Additional context
Add any other context about the problem here.

Hello! Thank you for your feedback!

The duplicate entries should be fixed in the latest version. That was a glitch with the v4.4.0 release. To fix, 1) wipe the server bookmarks and 2) trigger a sync from scratch in the "dangerous" section of the account settings.

To get it to sync again remove the hidden lock file .floccus-.lock in the root of your nextcloud files. (Enable "Show hidden files" in the files app settings)

Perfect thank you, deleting the .floccus-.lock seems to have fixed it.
