Don't add syncs to the Finder favorites section
Whenever I add or re-enable an entry in MEGAsync's "Synced folders" configuration, it adds a Favorite entry to my Finder's sidebar without warning, and there's no way to turn this "feature" off. I maintain a specific set of favorites for specific reasons, and having an additional one added without my consent is (at best) very annoying.
Hello.
We have pass on your feedback to our developers and we will consider providing an option to disable all finder integration and not just the overlay icons for MacOS.
This has just become worse since version 4.8.7 on macOS. It's not even just adding new folders anymore. Now on every startup of the app it totally re-adds literally every folders and even resorts all my sidebar entries and messes everything up. This isn't just a feature request anymore, this has now become a bug. Please fix this as soon as possible, because this is very invasive. My workflow is very dependent on my sidebar's order and now MEGA controls it fully and I cant do anything to stop the behavior.
Apologies for the inconveniences. New fixes are on the way to simply add them to Finder on new sync addition, but if the user removes them, they won't be re-added anymore to the sidebar.
These fixes will be part of likely release 4.9.0.
Thanks for your feedback.
Thank you for your quick response. I hope it can also be checked why it re-sorts the items in the sidebar. From a developer's perspective I think your code walks through the entries in the plist file and then also resorts them, because the code in question also affects non-MEGA folder entries.
Here you can see what happens. All those MEGA entries (except for 3 were nicely in between the other entries) weren't in there. But it also re-ordered the Documents folder (looks alphabetically, but not fully) somewhere lower in the list. I think something isn't totally correct in the code that updates the entries.
A small note to add; this only happens on startup of the app. If I remove them, it doesn't affect the sidebar again until restart. Haven't tested it specifically with adding a new folder (since the bug starting occurring).
@vtmateos It's still not fixed in 4.9.0. It happens here;
