Folders are not created when local to remote.

[TheBiotechScientist]

When I sync files from local to remote, files located in capitulos and figuras folders are synced and created in the main project location in Overleaf, but the folders capitulos and figuras are not created.

But is not the case when remote to local, folders are created.

I used the command:

~$ ols -l

Output:

In Overleaf page, there are not folders:

Is there an option to create/sync folders in overleaf when local to remote?

How can I solve it?

Thanks

I encountered this problem too. And furthermore the sync from local to remote will not delete file which I locally deleted.

I couldn't reproduce the folder syncing issue... Do you have any more information?

I'm currently fixing the local -> remote file deletion.

Hi @moritzgloeckl, Thanks for you replay. The issue I´m refering to is about the case when I have subfolders in the main proyect. The main proyect is in Tesis folder, then it has some subfolders: capitulos, figuras, for example. And when I try to sync the entire proyect, the files inside capitulos and figuras are "taken out and puted into the main folder Tesis" like if there are´nt subfolders inside Tesis folder.

In Local:

Tesis/
     |--- main.tex
     |--- main.aux
     |--- .... etc
     |--- capitulos/
                 |--- capitulo1.tex
                 |--- capitulo2.tex
                 |--- ... and so on.
     |--- figuras/
                 |--- figura1.pdf
                 |--- figura2.pdf
                 |--- ...etc.

The resulting synced from Local --> Remote (In Overleaf):

Tesis/
     |--- main.tex
     |--- main.aux
     |--- .... etc
     |--- capitulo1.tex
     |--- capitulo2.tex
     |--- ... and so on.
     |--- figura1.pdf
     |--- figura2.pdf
     |--- ...etc.

The command used:

C:\Users\Documents\Tesis> ols -l

This is my python version and the package version I have installed:

C:\WINDOWS\system32>python --version
Python 3.7.11

C:\WINDOWS\system32>pip show overleaf-sync

I hope you can reproduce the issue to find some solution, if not, any suggestion is well come to try myself.

Thanks a lot!

The folder syncing issue will not occure on linux system I think. In my case: on windows 11 it will upload without a folder, but on WSL ubuntu it works good.

This is most definitely the problem. I'm developing on a Unix system as well, so I can't really test this with Windows. But I've had this problem before, thought it was fixed...

Good news @TheBiotechScientist @Lightup1 - I just released version 1.2.0 I fixed both the windows syncing issue and the file deletion bug!

Please update to this version and help me test it 😉

[Lightup1]

After I updated to 1.2.0, I got this when I try to run ols login:
