Greetings,
I’ve made many operations with files, groups, importing and indexing.
Now it’s 2-3 days a message keeps appearing: 2 items left to be uploaded.
It appears every few minutes, I suppose whenever DT sync to iCloud.
How do I stop this message from appearing?
I can’t detect the files left to be uploaded.
Thank you!
There’s a condition you can use for a smart group. AFAIK. Searching for the issue here should provide pointers.
I have some Smart Groups there, maybe some files are missing because I’ve deleted them?
I don’t know…
How do I detect the files that still have to be uploaded?
Isn’t there an iCloud option to let it decide what to fetch from the cloud on sync? That’s “sync” as in iCloud sync, not DT sync.
Search for item:pending.
Maybe it has been fixed, don’t know how.
I deleted the cache and verified the database.
Then I synced the database again and no messages appeared.
Fun fact: it wasn’t the first time I did it, but now it worked…
If I search for item:pending I get nothing.
No, still getting the message.
I’ve modified a Markdown file I have in an indexed folder (an Obsidian vault), and now I get the same message.
If I sync it again I don’t get any message anymore.
The same with any MD file I modify in the database, even the imported ones.
So I suppose it’s a standard sync message, is it?
Maybe it always appeared because the option to automatically show the log window was activated?
It isn’t. Did you check whether the database is fine (File > Verify & Repair Database…) to ensure that there are no missing (indexed) files?
Ok did it.
It said 5 missing and 1 orphaned files.
I’ve repaired the database, I modified a MD file in the indexed group, and DT said there were 3 files left to upload.
So I’ve verified the database again, and it said 5 missing and 0 orphaned files.
I’ve repaired it again.
But the message keeps appearing.
Now in the log I see that it failed to repair the database, and that there are 5 issues left
Missing files can’t be automatically repaired, via the contextual menu of the Log it’s possible to reveal or to trash them.
Alas all the options are greyed out, so I can’t select any of them, and searching for item:pending gives no results.
Post a screen capture of what you’re seeing.
Here.
Don’t mind the last two logs: I was not under WiFi, so they are ok.
BTW: I have only 1 database “Professional” blog with the Inbox.

Sent. Thank you for your support.
I got hit with the “items left to be uploaded” syndrome, but it was self-inflicted.
TL;DR - I introduced some easily corrected corruption into my DT database. All’s well, no DT bugs.
Note to @BLUEFROG - if you read this, facepalm injuries can be severe. Oven mitts may be effective.
I found some anonymous files in one of my DT databases. I didn’t know what they were and the “open with” option didn’t appear.
So, I used the show in Finder option. I opened the strange file with BBEdit, saw it was an old OmniOutliner file. I’ve uninstalled OO and this was a deletable file.
To the trash with it, and then I saw another few OO files that weren’t needed. Deleted.
And then I realized I was deleting things in the Finder.
The OO package files turned into blue folder icons in Devonthink which caused me to overlook them. I did a verify and repair, and then the “items left” log message started popping up.
Not a problem, I did a rebuild - and still got the message.
This time, verify and repair listed the files as missing. I deleted them in Devonthink - and still had the messages.
Because, of course, being dumb enough to delete DT files in the Finder meant I also overlooked emptying the DT trash.
I emptied the trash, verify and repair is happy, and I’m not getting messages about items left to upload.
We all have our moments. I’ve had many times where i did something not do bright and thought i could hear the faint strains of the Three Stooges theme playing
