What issue do you have?
After establishing my own WebDAV server and installing Joplin on an Android mobile, I observe several strange behaviors:
On the desktop, I created first some test notebooks and notes and tested the syncing between a desktop and a laptop. All worked fine.
Then I deleted deleted the target sync WebDAV folder to have a fresh start, and also the test notebooks, and then created the notebook structure that I intend to use. I did that by importing an older project with almost 2000 notes, and then deleted most notes and many notebooks.
When all this was done, I synced the result, some 30 notebooks, with some 60 notes in them, to the empty WebDAV directory.
Now, when I installed Joplin on my mobile and configured the sync. Two things happened which I did not expect:
- the earliest text notebooks, which were deleted before ever syncing to the WebDAV folder, appeared on my mobile
- the first sync took around 90 minutes, with thousands of resources checked, created and downloaded
This morning, I used the mobile app again, and it first did one more sync -- which took more than half an hour, although I did not make any changes neither on the mobile nor on any other device since the last sync.
Perhaps this is known, but I did not find anything about this here in the forum, so I decided to as to you whether this is normal and expected or not. If so, I guess it would mean that Joplin maintains a journal, including deletions, and replays that journal on all synced devices...
Thanks in advance for any explanation.
