Wrong path at "File has changed" alert

[Ignacio Llorente]

When editing a file by double-clic (using Notepad++), after saving changes and switch to FileZilla, it displays a wrong path and uses that wrong path to upload the file.

e.g.
Local path C:\wamp64\www\cloud\i\bibliotecas\181224\plantillas\tienda\.producto(product-detail).php

Correct remote path:
/var/www/i/bibliotecas/181224/plantillas/tienda/.producto(product-detail).php

Incorrect remote path
/var/www/i/bibliotecas/.producto(product-detail).php

Which remote directory was active when you first double-clicked the file?

Thanks for the hint! These are the steps to reproduce the weird behaviour:

1. Open FileZilla
2. Note that Synchronized Browsing is off
3. JFYI my base local folder is C:\wamp64\www\cloud\ and my base remote folder is /var/www/
4. Go to a local folder (e.g. C:\wamp64\www\cloud\i\bibliotecas\181229b\one\)
5. Go to a remote folder that is not the Synchronized one (e.g. /var/www/i/bibliotecas/181229b/two)
6. Double click at one local file (e.g. C:\wamp64\www\cloud\i\bibliotecas\181229b\one\myfile.txt) it opens Notepad++ editing the file
7. At FileZilla go to the remote folder that is the Synchronized one (e.g. /var/www/i/bibliotecas/181229b/one)
8. Activate Synchronized Browsing
9. At FileZilla go to another folder (e.g. /var/www/i/bibliotecas/181229b/three)
10. At Notepad++ modify and save the file (in this example: C:\wamp64\www\cloud\i\bibliotecas\181229b\one\myfile.txt)
11. Switch into FileZilla again.
12. FileZilla detects the file’s change and suggest an upload… to the remote folder that was active when I start editing the file . In this example: /var/www/i/bibliotecas/181229b/two/myfile.txt

I would prefer this behavior:

a. When synchronized, compute paths using relative path:

When FileZilla detects a "File has changed": If Synchronized Browsing is ON, remote path (of the "File has changed dialog") would be the computed synchronized one . As in this example:

• "File has changed dialog"'s local path is C:\wamp64\www\cloud\i\bibliotecas\181229b\one\myfile.txt
• Present local path is C:\wamp64\www\cloud\i\bibliotecas\181229b\three
• Present remote path is /var/www/i/bibliotecas/181229b/three
• Synchronized Browsing is ON

• So the relative path of the changed file is ../one/myfile.txt
• So ... "File has changed dialog"'s remote path would be /var/www/i/bibliotecas/181229b/three/../one/myfile.txt , so /var/www/i/bibliotecas/181229b/one/myfile.txt would be the remote path I expected.

b. Let FileZilla keep "Synchronized browsing" status on Startup:

Edit > Settings > Interface > on Startup of FileZilla > Restore tabs, restore "Synchronized browsing status" and reconnect

Replying to Tim Kosse:

Functionality is working as intended.
