What does the "x minutes ago" mean?

Seafile Client
1

Hi!

(in Windows client v6.1.3) What does the “X minutes ago” text under each library mean?

I tested it:

  • it is not the time since last sync (I clicked “Sync now”, but it kept saying “20 minutes ago”)
  • it is not the time since actual changes were uploaded to the server (I made a local change and watched it get synced to server)
  • it seems it to be the time of last download of changes from the server (I made a change in the cloud browser)

Is this configurable? We are using seafile as a backup solution and it goes client->server most of the time, so information about server->client traffic is not very interesting.

Regards,
David

Time information in client update some magically. But you can try your testing again, but after some change hit information update button in client, I think that it will show you right information (did some test on my instance).

It should be the time the library was changed last (by any user).

For the rest @holantomas answer applies.

My tests contradict that (second item in my list).

Have you clicked the reload button?

I think the update was automatic.

yes it is but it seems like the update have bigger interval. so if you hit update button as I said you will see actual last update time on your libraries
