I am a new user and experimenting with RCV on my mobile. I found the below issues which stops me from using the app altogether.
I uploaded 1.3k files to the crypt folder and 250 of them failed. All failed ones were video and successful ones where pics.
On the Transfers window, there is no option to select all failed ones to retry. I need to select each file individually which is a basic for any such app i believe
Clear completed option in Transfers window clears all entries including failed ones which is a damn. Now I lost the list of files which were failed.
There is no log of past sync activities to analyse the failed ones.
Transfers window was lagging so much and finally I decided to clear the entries. I never seen such lag with 250 failed uploads in any other similar apps. This is one of the main reason to avoid this app
With the above issues, I think the app should go a long way to be mature enough to use it for daily driver and pay for it.
I was fully disappointed with these issues. I was impressed with the handling of crypt files which was the main reason for me to try this app.
Thanks for the detailed report. I went through every point in the code,
and here’s what we’re changing.
Transfers list (2, 3, 5)
Adding bulk retry for failed items — retry all at once, or select
specific ones.
Separating “clear completed” so it no longer touches failed entries.
Clearing failures will be a distinct action with a confirmation step.
Switching the list to lazy rendering and throttling progress updates,
so it stays smooth with hundreds of entries.
Transfer history (4)
Adding a persistent history screen that survives app restarts. You’ll be
able to see success/failure counts per batch and retry failed items
directly from there.
Video upload failures (1)
Uploads go through a temporary copy that the Android photo picker places
in our app’s cache. We’re looking at whether those copies were reclaimed
by the system while large videos waited in the queue — which fits the
pattern of photos succeeding and videos failing. We’re still verifying,
so I won’t state it as the confirmed cause yet.
Two changes are going in regardless:
Moving queued upload files out of the cache directory, so the system
can’t reclaim them while they wait.
Making the raw error text visible. Right now it’s collapsed into “file
not found”, which makes diagnosis difficult.
For what it’s worth, your original photos are untouched in your gallery —
what went missing was the temporary upload copy.
If you’re able to try again with even a handful of videos, it would help
a lot in confirming the cause. Waiting for the fixes is completely fine
too.
Also — glad the crypt handling worked well for you.
