Hello ,

I have a Profil in Tasker when Foldersync shows the Notification that the Sync is done ,Tasker react on it.
For Example i Sync a File from my ftp to my Phone then Foldersync make a Notification that the defined Sync was successful.
That Tasker react on this Notification and start another Task.
In Foldersync 2.4.8 all was fine ,but on Foldersync 2.5.0 Tasker cant read the Notification from Foldersync.

Please Fix that

The notifications have changed so you might need to update tasker config to reflect that

I'm in the same boat here, basically i spent all morning working out how to get FolderSync and Tasker running in such a way that *after* FolderSync had synced some files that Tasker would insert an entry into a Google calendar telling me how long it took and how many files were synced.

I then updated to FolderSync 2.5.1 about half an hour after getting the above just working nicely. I was a little wary about the FolderSync changelog entry about supporting "Stacked Notifications" as this sounded like i might be a problem for Tasker to handle, it was/is.

It was also mentioned IIRC in the FolderSync changelog that stacking would only work on a recent enough version of Android. So Could i suggest the developer contemplate adding a small option to allow switching off the stacked notification when it is supported by android?

BTW, FolderSync is a lovely app :-)

Cheers,

If you have set the notification task to recognise a certain wording e.g. "FolderSync Sync Successful" and the new notification has changed to "Synchronisation Succeeded" you need to change the string in teh task to reflect the new notification text.

tasker can read the notification when foldersync syncs but not when the sync is done.
I think it is because the stacked notifications since FS v 2.5.0 :-(( . Only way for me now is to go back to v 2.4.8 .

You can revert to old style notification in just released version.
