Comment on PSA syncthing-fork has changed owners
Wispy2891@lemmy.world 3 days agoI think everyone misses the upgrade except new installs, how users (including power users) can know that they have to uninstall the old app, potentially lose all the settings , then reinstall and reconfigure?

I knew because I install through F-droid instead of github so ended up getting like a notice informing me that to upgrade to 2.0 I should back up the settings then uninstall 1.3 then install 2.0 then back up settings.
But, if retrieving from github or obtanium then maybe message wasn’t relayed.

I installed through F-Droid as well, but I didn’t get any notices. 🤷🏽♂️

I think I saw it when i went to go update and then somehow the instructions on syncthing 2.0 being its own separate app, since straight up update could cause issues. Not sure if it was pop up within the syncthing app or descriptions page for it on f-droid. Well I do use droidify to install f-droid apps since I prefer the UI so maybe that’s why I saw something.
