Great work on Cobian Reflector!
Wondering if you're aware about it failing to process directories
that contain trailing spaces in directorynames.
Yes, renaming those is a manual workaround (and a challenge in itself Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.
).
It seems though as these originate from Mac clients accessing via SMB shares
that seem to like doing trailing spaces. So new ones might pop up.
There are there errors in this context
1. error counting files in the directory.
2. error counting files is not reported as "ERR "
3. error backing up the directory
It is reproducible.
Creation of sample dir/files to test is easiest done with wsl Image may be NSFW.
