Download failed - no log created about rcloneexplorer HOT 6 OPEN

Oh, i forgot to say: Thanks for the app! It is really what I had been looking for. I am relly happy you put all the work in there and it is greatly appreciated!

from rcloneexplorer.

I'm glad you're enjoying the app 😃

It's really strange that no log file is created when the download fails. The way the app currently works is when rclone fails (exit status is not 0), any error output is sent to the log file. Since rclone also sends file transfer information to stderr, for downloads only lines that starts with "ERROR" are sent to the log file.

Now since in your case the log file is not created, I'm suspecting that for some reason rclone is not producing any "ERROR" lines. I created a version that will dump everything from the download command into the log file. Can you install it, run the download, and once the download fails, upload the log file here? Hopefully that will reveal more information as to why the download fails.

Thanks for your help.
I ran the app and checked the log.
The only errors I get are of this kind:

Sorry for the late reply, and thanks for the log file.

So there's permission denied error for some folder(s), which is rather strange as rcloneExplorer should have full read and write access in that directory. This will make it hard for me to debug as it's not something I can easily replicate on my end. If I'm understanding the output from rclone correctly, it was able to transfer 34 files, it created 19 directories, yet it failed creating 17 directories.

If you try running the download multiple times, is it always the same directories that are not transferred? Could you also try manually creating one of the failed directories, and see if the files within it will be transferred?

Sorry, I was away for a while.
It seems that some of the directories affected are the same across download tries, and some others are affected in other tries.

When I deleted a directory and created a new one, the problem went away with that directory.

The thing is: I did not initially download all the data with RcloneExplorer. I downloaded it with another app and copied it over to the Rclone Directory on my SD-Card and let the "Download" command run on that directory.
So maybe there some permissions problems were created that way.

I guess one way to solve the problem is to download everything with RcloneExplorer, although I did not want to do that.

Also, when doing a download with you provided app, my phone gets really really slow...

from rcloneexplorer.

I tried running a number of different test but I just can't replicate this. I tried downloading a number of files and directories using a different app, moving it to SD card, and trying to download again with Rclone Explorer, but the download didn't fail.

I also tried manually changing file permissions, but it seems not to be possible without root. On top of that, FAT32 and exFAT don't support Linux file permissions, which means that there shouldn't be any permissions denied just because you used a different app.

What app did you use to download the files? As a last resort, I can try running that and see what happens.

As for the slowdowns during downloads, I don't think there's anything I can do about it. Rclone Explorer just calls the download command in rclone. I'm not aware of any way to tell rclone to use less CPU resources.
