Thanks!

I ran it with the new release on the windows client and it hung, same issue (E011…) . So I carried through with my plan to backup, then delete all book marks and then sync.

Seems good for now. The result is a clean sync, now I have to do a diff on the backup and current book marks. 😃

I am experiencing periodically the same behaviour and I need quite often to delete the lock file and sometimes the xbel file. There is something corrupting the process and I think that the locking mechanism need to be reviewed. In particular, if a sync process is stopped for various reasons including closing the browser, the lock file is not removed. Also,it happens one in a while that I get duplicates, sometimes folders sometimes duplicates inside the folder. It is so random that it is hard if not impossible to catch.

I don’t know how can I help to fix these issues.

Client debug log:

I am not sure what I should be looking for in the debug log on client, the following are the last 2 lines:

Syncing failed with E023: Unable to clear lock file, consider deleting bm/bookmarks.xbel.lock manually. onSyncFail

It is working, for now, by renaming the xbel file and creating a new one. Let’s see if the other clients behave. 😃
