I happened to have restarted it, just to see, and ... the files are now
reappearing, with a description "Added by XXX" where XXX is my main machine.
What it looks like is that it was marked "deleted" then "reappear" a bit
like when a folder name is changed. However,
a) I'm not aware all my folders changed names...
b) I physically saw a file disappear from a folder, and reappear there
later. I'm not sure that is the behavior when one changes a folder name. But
maybe we should consider that the name change is occuring on another machine,
so that maybe it...
Very weird. If it is only a case of name changing in the folder structure,
the behavior is very scary. (weird to see files moving back and forth between
its original location and the FS trash ... and luckily back from hell ;-)
If I don't post anything more, it means that everything is just back "normal".
Let me know your thoughts however,
