stop synchro a folder manually

[melodram]

ubuntu 10.04

if you start synchronise a folder manually over the contexmenu and stop it, the folder stays on the web-account and you also cannot delete it from the website manually. there is no button for delete.

This bug did not have a package associated with it, which is important for ensuring that it gets looked at by the proper developers.

if you want to stop syncronise over contexmenu, it is not possible before synchro is finished.

melodram.
When you right-click on a User Designated Folder is the option to stop synchronising there, just greyed out? Is the wrong option showing example: It says synchronise instead of unsyncronise on Ubuntu One. Or is the correct option available, it just does not appear to do anything when clicked?

thank you,

no, on the webpage is just the option to "share"

[melodram (melodram)]

under "synced folders": just the possibility to "share"

under "folders": possibility to "share" and "delete"

melodram,
Thank you for clarifying your bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. I have included some worarounds for the issues you raised. these are not ideal, but will get the job done until a more user friendly approach is developed. Thank you for filing this bug and providing valuable user input.

As a workaround, to get the folder out of your cloud storage, you can do the following.

1. Open a Terminal (Applications > Accessories > Ubuntu One)

2. run the command:

   u1sdtool --list-folders

you will get a result like this:

   id=7f8491ab-f431-4c8a-91a7-f561faa05fca subscribed=True path=/home/duanedesign/Pictures

3. Take the id number and insert it into the following command:

   u1sdtool --delete-folder=7f8491ab-f431-4c8a-91a7-f561faa05fca

This will remove the folder from the server and not remove any data from your computer.

If you add a folder to your Ubuntu One account and wish to remove it before the sync is complete you can follow the directions on Roman's wiki page.

a possibility without terminal would be cool.
