Can customization sync use automatic to get the new plugin for new devices?

Open lzism opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Abstract

Installation of new plug-ins on new devices is not possible with customization sync automatic.

Expected behaviour

I have two devices, one device A is A commonly used device, and the addition and deletion of plug-ins were completed on A. Now there is A new device B that has no plug-in installed. I want to realize plug-in synchronization by opening customization sync automatic on the two devices, so as to synchronize the plug-in to be used from A and synchronize the modification of B to A

Actually happened

Using the selection device works, but automatic does not

Thank you for opening the topic!

You seem to have enabled Customisation sync. Is Hidden file sync also enabled? Automatic sync of Customisation sync means Leave these files to Hidden file sync.

I would like to integrate these two behaviours eventually. Sorry for the vague wording. I will improve it later.

Would you mind if I ask you to check the behaviour with Hidden file sync enabled?

Apologies for taking so long to reply, I've now opted for a manual install on the new device, it's a bit of a hassle but the good thing is that the plugins don't change as often. I didn't choose to turn on Hidden file sync, I was under the impression that it syncs too many things I don't actually need, just a couple of plugins to safeguard the display on mobile. So what I envisioned was that with customization sync I could manage it on the PC, I've forgotten how it worked at the time, anyway it didn't work as I envisioned but looking at the presentation it should have!
