Improvement: Randomly create file link IDs
By default PowerFolder keeps the identical file link URL even if a file or directory gets re-used (deleted and restored/re-created)
file_link.random_ids.enabled=false
to enable generation of new random IDs every time in file link URL when deleting and creating a file link to the same folder, directory or file set
file_link.random_ids.enabled=true
Improvement: Auto Cleanup "phantom" folders
It was possible that folders got stuck - only visible on client, hidden in web portal, but not on server storage. Creating a new folder with the same name was also not possible.
To cleanup this add/set the following entry to PowerFolder.config at the server:
server.sync.mandatory=true
Default behavior:
server.sync.mandatory=false
