Bug: Changes on attached files only get snchronized to the WebDav server, but not to other computers
Following critical bug:
I have a file attached on computer 1. Let's say .doc. It get's synchronized to computer 2 through a WebDav server. Until this point all works as i expect.
Now i change the file on computer 2. I see through the progress bar that the file gets synced with the WebDav server. Then i looked at the WebDav server if it is really there: Yes, the file is on the server. Now the problem starts:
Then i sync to computer 1. Again i see the progress bar. But when i open the attached file it has the old content.
What is here wrong? How can i get the corresponding log files?
Thanks!

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Instead of commenting here, you should start a new discussion. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
You can try to decipher debug output if you like, but it's a bit hard to parse if you don't know what you're looking for.
Can you say better for what i have to look with this information in the debug output?
If you provide Debug IDs for the various steps, we can take a look.
Thanks
Debug ID: D655556999
What i did:
1. Change a PDF (add text annotation with PDFXChange) and a note of my collection on Computer 1 running Windows
2. Sync to WebDav
3. Proof that file got changed on WebDav -> Yes, PDF shows the added annotation
4. Reboot Computer 1 starting Linux
5. Clearing debug Output
6. Starting Zotero and subsequent syncing
7. Opening PDF -> The annotation is not there!
8. Opening preferences to get the Debug ID
The changed note got correctly synced!
What i proofed:
It can not be a time problem. I checked this (this will be other times then in the debug, because i checked it in a second run).
1. I checked the time in Windows when i was syncing: 12:09
2. I checked the file time of the file on WebDav: 12:09
3. I booted in Linux: 12:13
3. I synced and checked the file: same as before, annotation is not there. BUT file time is 12:09 on the linux machine!
This means that the file time gets updated but not the file!
The other way around it is working: Changing file on linux machine and syncing to windows machine...
Thanks for help!
Thanks
