Need help - MLO Desktop filename changed, added date/time stamp and the word 'conflict'

[Joel Azaria]

Hi all,

Upon shutting down and reopening my MLO desktop just now it did not auto-open my .ml file as usual.  

When I went to go open the file manually I noticed the file name changed adding the following "_computername_May-07-104758-2014_Conflict" to the file name (where 'computername' = my computer's name and the rest is a timestamp).   When I opened the file MLO asked me to acknowledge that the file had 'moved' and I that knew why it had 'moved' which I did.

What is the cause of this conflict?  Why didn't I get a conflict resolution box if there were conflicts to resolve and why did it rename my file (instead of making a backup/copy, etc)?

And how do I find the 'conflicts' and how do I fix?

Please advise asap.

thank  you.

Joel,

It was not MLO who renamed your file. It looks like software similar to Google Drive or DropBox has renamed it due to a conflict.
Do you sync your MLO file with DropBox? Do you change them in one place while it is open in other place? This maybe the reason of the conflict.

Andrey.

Thank you Andrey.  I got reply from email support.

Yes, it seems to be sync software I use with my NAS (in effect similar to dropbox).  Not sure why it errored.   Has been being used this way for many months w/o issue but I will keep an eye on it.

I ran into something similar recently. The problem was that I was syncing through the cloud, but I was using the same file on a new computer, synced through Syncplicity. I may even have had both open at one time.

My solution is that each computer has different files and both sync via cloud.
