Can I ask about the change of not keeping record of deleted files after 6 months by default. Does that mean if I sync two directories constantly so that if syncthing sees one of them has a file deleted, it will delete the file on the other too, if I copy back that same file into the synced folder, after 6 months pass Syncthing would sync that file again? Or what else does this mean?
Currently I am just using this to have an easy transfer between two computers, I keep moving out files that have been transferred from both folders, so I would think this has no effect on how I use it?
I don’t think your use will be effected. I believe the only thing is your database will be less bloated with deleted items that have never been removed previously.
If you add a file back after it’s removed from the database, It should sync as usual.
(This is my interpretation of the change notes, i’m no experto, maybe a real experto can confirm this is true or not).
