saveRecent gets stuck if it can't remove a file

[pageauc]

Not sure how to resolve this issue. It appears that @eadir is a directory and not a filename. Not sure how the pi-timolo filename is getting substituted by a directory reference.
Can you provide more information..

• Type of file system on NAS
• Pi mount command in fstab or a manual script
• List of permissions on NAS as seen from the rpi. eg ls -l /mnt/capture/recent/timelapse

Does this work if indexing is turned off for the NAS recent folder.
Thanks

The @eadir directory is created by the indexing process in every directory (this seems to be a bug in the Synology NAS software). The saveRecent function lists all files in the recent directory and if there are too many, tries to remove them one by one. I think the best solution is for saveRecent to only try to remove the files that match its prefix -- that will also prevent potential issues with other operations that might store sync metadata in the recent directory.

I killed the indexer and removed the problem directories so I don't have the detailed directory list for you at this time.

I have implemented your solution. This is something I never thought of but now makes sense since it is possible other directories and /or files are in the recent folder.
