Hello 👋

Thank you for taking the time to open this issue with floccus. I know it's frustrating when software
causes problems. You have made the right choice to come here and open an issue to make sure your problem gets looked at
and if possible solved.
I'm Marcel and I created floccus and have been maintaining it ever since.
I currently work for Nextcloud which leaves me with less time for side projects like this one
than I used to have.
I still try to answer all issues and if possible fix all bugs here, but it sometimes takes a while until I get to it.
Until then, please be patient.
Note also that GitHub is a place where people meet to make software better together. Nobody here is under any obligation
to help you, solve your problems or deliver on any expectations or demands you may have, but if enough people come together we can
collaborate to make this software better. For everyone.
Thus, if you can, you could also have a look at other issues to see whether you can help other people with your knowledge
and experience. If you have coding experience it would also be awesome if you could step up to dive into the code and
try to fix the odd bug yourself. Everyone will be thankful for extra helping hands!
One last word: If you feel, at any point, like you need to vent, this is not the place for it; you can go to the forum,
to twitter or somewhere else. But this is a technical issue tracker, so please make sure to
focus on the tech and keep your opinions to yourself.

I look forward to working with you on this issue
Cheers 💙

Thank your for the feedback!
I can confirm this. The underlying cause is that Manifest v3 background scripts are terminated rather aggressively by the browser which causes the sync process to be interrupted. :/

One idea is to let the sync process run in a visible open tab or window instead, but that's rather ugly :/

Looks good so far.
It may be worth noting, that you need to upgrade all of your clients before this is actually working properly.
Any <5.0.6 client will again create that orphaned lock situation again and block all others.

I can't confirm that. For me the sync with webdav (Nextcloud / xbel
file) works again.

This was it. Had to uninstall the extension from all clients, and delete the lock file.

Would be nice to have notifications when sync fails (mine happened 2 weeks ago). Maybe I've missed that in the settings.

Usually you will be notified of failure, this was an extraordinary situation, because I changed the API platform. This is unlikely to happen again soon.

@albirs if you are using Nextcloud Bookmarks, you have no lockfile and will likely only need to make sure all your floccus instances are either v4.x or v5.0.6+. Otherwise when using webdav the lock file is in the same directory as the bookmarks file that is used to sync.
