Bug#533832: unison: Skip button doesn't work properly after Unison has started syncing
Package: unison
Version: 2.27.57-2
Severity: normal
When Unison has found changes but before you press "Go", the "Skip"
button and keyboard shortcut work fine.
After pressing "Go", the "Skip" button is still active. I can select
a partially synchronised file and press "Skip", at which point the
file synchronising is apparently cancelled. However, in a few moments
the copying of that file will restart from the beginning.
It seems to me that correct behaviour might be one of:
* Disable the "Skip" button unless Skip functionality is meant to
work.
* (More useful!) When a file is transferring (eg. a movie I've
downloaded and didn't mean to include in the processing list, but
overlooked) I can click on it and "Skip" and have the transfer
aborted and cleaned up, and not restarted a moment later.
Thanks!
