sync:
i consistently get old items put into my inbox that i then cannot move as the uuid is already present. i have this 2-3 times a week.
sync at times takes forever but shows it to be up to date on all devices yet all three devices are in different sync states it seems
sync is not reliably kicked off and might not sync for an hour or two despite having the “sync on exit” and “sync every minute” toggle activated
editing a file on ios (my never asleep ipad) might not show up on osx until i manually kick off a sync on osx.
PDF reading progress isn’t synced properly across devices, although i am not sure if that might not simply be a case of the sync not having caught up yet, although i have manually kicked off sync on all devices (hence might be connected to the other sync-issues above)
search:
inconsistent search results. i search for something and it sometimes shows up, sometimes it doesn’t. This happens even if i do not edit/add anything to the db.
i limit the search to a smart group (“in smartgroup A”) and all of a sudden i see no search results at all. if the smart group limits it to a specific (and only 1) directory, executing the same search directly on the directory yields hundreds of files (and that is the expected behavior).
the other day filter “kind: markdown” showed me markdown files … and PDF files.
Moved this to the beta board as it’s not intended for the public ones. Additional details would of course be useful, e.g. which items have a duplicate UUID, the used search term or screenshots. Thanks!
In addition, as you’ve probably used many alphas & betas, it might be a good idea to setup sync from scratch.

Also, what kind of sync you’re doing, ie. iCloud, your own WebDAV, etc.

they are never the same, not sure how to answer that question.
i will add screenshots when i can, DT isn’t starting at the moment.
Everything is on dropbox.
as luck will have it, my new imac just arrived this minute. i will set up DT3 from scratch on a completely new machine and report back.
Are these items emails?
Cleaning the sync stores and setting up sync again on all devices might be a good idea. Otherwise please verify at least the sync stores - thanks!

no, i don’t store emails in DT. they are always web archives, PDFs or markdown.
