Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubuntuone-client

Hi !

Here's an issue that occurs with the current Maverick RC.

Short form : "A published file in not accessible anymore when updated"

How to reproduce :

1) synchronize any drawer
2) inside this drawer, publish a file
3) open the URL into a browser in order to check it's been published properly (should be OK)
4) modify the file (example : add a line to the text file)
5) try to open the URL again : it's not available anymore

I wonder whether this behaviour is a bug or on purpose ? This is annoying, because sometimes, for instance, you may want to publish a listing, or a work-in-progress with people.

Cheers !

Hello,
I am affected with the same bug, this is a real issue and I consider this as a real issue with the product.
After saving an update of a published file on my desktop, it will automatically "synchronise" with the corresponding files at UbuntuOne (and it does). Problem is that the "new file", actually the updated file with the same name, is no longer published. Pressing the publish button results is a new URL. The old file is still publish but url is no longer valid!
Please do something!

This is not a bug, it is by design.

Thanks for your answer,
I still believe that this should be changed. If we have to manually republish all files that are updated, this is a nightmare!
Maybe we could choose what to do (option)?
What could we do to ask for this change ?
Thanks much.

Yes, I agree, which is why i set this to wishlist. I do not know the
underlying reasons why we were asked to make it like this.

Hello all,
please note that the possibility to publish any file or folder, independently from its path is also available on Dropbox.
(see http://www.dropbox.com/help/167)
I have done some tests of publishing and updating files using Dropbox, everything is fine with them. Any updated file keeps the same url and is published.
This confirms to me even more that we have now a competitive problem with UbuntuOne...
I am very sad to see that this discussion is opened since 1,5 years
Hope things change very very soon. Please could you all click the link "this affects me" such that we have more weight ?
Cheers, Stephane.
