Notification of sync status?

[antkn33]

Is there a way to receive notifications of sync status?
Macos 15.6.
Thanks

Thanks for the question, what do you expect? Currently the sync status is shown in the icon (few pixels only unfortunatly) and when hovering over the icon in the tooltip. I have a very old draft of native notifications when a new device wants to connect or shares a folder. Notifications can be very naggy, for new-device, new-share "notification types" they are one-offs. But giving sync status is possible, but with the filesystem watcher enabled for every file you can get a notification. Or we just bundle them with a notification hold-off time. The list of possible notifications including sync status is available from the event system.

• https://docs.syncthing.net/dev/events.html#event-types
• https://docs.syncthing.net/events/foldercompletion.html this is probably the event we are looking for if we want per-folder progress notifications
• https://docs.syncthing.net/events/foldersummary.html we need to loop over every folder to generate a global state which is already implemented but without notification emit

Oh I didn’t know that. I was just thinking of a notification when sync is finished and/or up to date.
