Guest Brendan Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 The other day i got asked the question as to what the difference in functionality was there between the following two options Offline files: Delete Files and Ctrl + Shift + Delete Files I probably should know this, but unfortunatly i cant seem to find any diffinitive statements. I have found documentation on both options, but they both seem to do the same thing. Delete files is very straight forward: "This method of cleaning up the cache allows you to delete individual files reguardless of where they are lcoated on the network or the folder in which they are contained" Re-initialize of the offline files chache and database: "The offline files chache and database has a build in capability to restart if its contents are suspected of being corrupt" So I would be very grateful if some one could please help me try and understand the difference between these 2 option. Thank you Brendan

Say user files were on server01 and were moved to server02. OF will continue trying to sync files on server01 and give error messages until the cache is re-initialized and the new location is set. You can't delete files this way as you can when you just click the Delete files button by itself. -- Terry R. ***Reply Note*** Anti-spam measures are included in my email address.

Guest Brendan Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 Re: Offline Files: "Delete Files" vs "Re-initalize the chache" Just giving it a bump to see if i can get more info on this. Terry, So your saying with Re-initializing the chache the files will be there (one copy on the local computer, and a copy no the server), but the sync between the files on my computer, and files on the server will be broken?

Any files or folders made available offline will no longer be available offline. The original files remain in place although the OF do not, until you re-sync (see below). Be warned; I recently replaced a hard drive on a workstation in a network I admin. I copied bookmarks, cookies, etc. to the network drive to restore after Windows was reinstalled (data was already on the network drive). On shutdown, OF started to run and I canceled it, since I knew everything was already on the network and there was no reason to "sync". When I went back to the network drive after reinstalling Windows, the files I had copied were no longer there! Somehow, OF on canceling, saw the files I copied were not in the cache and deleted them from the network drive. IMO, this is a major flaw in its design.

Guest Brendan Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 Re: Offline Files: "Delete Files" vs "Re-initalize the chache" Terry, Thank you for taking the time in trying to explain this to me. I think i am finally starting to understand the differences. But another question pops to mind. So if re-initializing the cache looses any changes that where not syncronized and stops the file from syncing on its own in the future (or untill setup again). Does that mean that Deleting Files (deleting offline files button) will also loose the changes that i have made to my copy and not sunk, but will still try and re-sync the file(s) when my computer is connected to the servers again? I can see re-initilizing the cache to be like a hammer, as it will kill every offline file i got, while Delete files is more of a scaple where it will only kill the files i delete. Is that a better train of thought to take or is that still wrong?

I can't describe it any better. Deleting files individually will remove them so they will not be available "offline", UNTIL you sync next.

Guest Brendan Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 Re: Offline Files: "Delete Files" vs "Re-initalize the chache" Terry, I guess on a whole i dont have a question to ask. I am on a fact finding mission. I was asked by the rest of my IT team to find out what exactly the difference is between the 2 features. To be truthful i did not even know the "ctrl + shift + delete file" option as even an option untill yesterday. I can see why i would use "ctrl shift delete files" now, you described its function rather well the first time and i thank you for that. I think i can go to my team and explain what you have told me, and they will probably understand it even before i finish reporting my findings. I think your last post really has hit the nail right on the head for me. Its sad that sometimes i cant see things as plainly as others can sometimes, but this is as difinitive as it can get. Don't use "Ctr; + shift + delete files" unless you have curruption. If no files are currupt and as long as the folder structure has not changed, i will continue to use "Delete files" Thank you very much for taking the time to reply to me as many times as you did. I can be a very trying person at times, cause things just wont sink in.
