Too fast update with keepuptodate
Hi!
First of all I would like to thank the author, winscp is just awesome!
I'm running version 3.8.1 and is using the keepuptodate feature from a script to upload files from a directory that is updated every minute. It however jams a couple of times a week.
I run it from sync.bat:
using uploaderscript.txt:
which outputs:
but then at some point it jams and is not restarted by the goto-loop until I change the window focus to another application! This is the last output before it hangs:
Retry or possible skip would be the appropriate action here...
I think the problem is that it's too fast, it would need to wait a fiew seconds after a change is detected and then do the upload. The changing of the delay seems to be undocumented but existing? According to the History for 3.8 beta:
