[3.0.0] from fdroid: on the fly document editing does not work anymore

[daudo]

My seafile instance hosts a number of keepassxc password files.

Using the stable 2.x android version, what I can do is to open the seafile app on my phone/tablet, navigate to a keepass file and open it with keepassxc. I can then do any changes, add new entries, edit existing ones and save the updated values. The modified keepassfile then gets uploaded automatically.

With the 3.0.0 version from fdroid, this works sometimes, but mostly not, the changed keepass files on my phone just doesn't get uploaded to the server. Instead I see a "Backup folder Uploading" notification, see the attached screenshot. Nothing happens actually, the transfer list in he app is empty and the notification stays there until I forcibly terminate the seafile app.

"Folder Backup" has not been turned on in the app though.

Because if this, I have to effectively revert back to the old 2.x version.

If there's anything more I can do, please let me know.

Please update to v3.0.1-beta and try it again

I just tried with v3.0.2-pre and unfortunately it still doesn't work, the updated file gets never synchronized to the seafile server.

I'm joining this thread here in hope that this issue gets more attention to the developers.

I've experienced the same behaviour in combination with Excel on Android running Seafile Client v3.0.7 / Server v12.0.7 when editing spreadsheets. I'm opening an Excel file in the Excel app using Android's native file browser where Seafile is listed as a dedicated source.
After editing, I'm trying to close the spreadsheet but saving does not succeed. Instead, Excel's close&save dialog gets stuck.

This workflow used to work in older versions of the Seafile client. This is really bugging me. A fancy new UI is not conducive to anyone if basic file tasks get completely broken along the way.
