Syncs Canvas course files to your local computer

canvasfilesync's Issues

Does not deliver what it promises!

The software installs, then asks for login creds and logs in. Wohoo!
and then what? I can browse my canvas from here.

There is no menu, no nothing. Just a display of my canvas page.

No option to sync. Nothing.

Let me know if I;m missing something.

CFS doesn't list all my courses

When I first installed & ran this it only listed about a half-dozen courses. I've been using Canvas for a while and have more like 100.

Sadly, the ones I'm teaching this quarter weren't listed in the list :(

What info can I get to help debugging this?

Stuck Getting courses from Canvas

After the initial log on, it gets stuck on the "Getting courses from Canvas" page. The access token is successfully created and the usage is recorded. Is there a debug log available somewhere?
Edit: After looking through the log, it's just infinitely looping through parsing the courses.

Bulk conflicts actions

I got a notification to the effect of

Your teacher edited a file, click here

And was presented the conflicts screen with several dozen file conflicts.

In my case, I would rather just take all of their changes (I don't remember making any of these "changes") and would much rather only have to click a button to have their changes overwrite all local changes with their.

Basically It would save me a lot of time to be able to effectively git pull --strategy theirs --force in one operation.

Unending "New courses available" notifications

I'm running Canvas File Sync on Windows and Mac and it does the same thing on both operating systems. I have my notification center flooded with these messages (see pictures).

It will keep doing this until I go through the setup as shown in the second picture. I'm purposefully leaving one course disabled as my professor somehow included file-names that aren't compatible with Windows. After a while, the notifications for "New courses available" will continue until I run through the setup again. It seems like it's not saving my choices for which courses to sync and which folder to sync them to.

I'm not sure if that's too separate issues (the notifications and the choices not being saved).
