To restate: the problem is users I share files with often see a *lot* of files, with only a fraction of them being actually present. A lot of those files are obviously large, and so they are having a frustrating experience with git-annex because they see all those promises of "files being there" but they have a hard time actually finding which files *really* are there. So they click one one broken link after the other and generally give up before they figure out how to pop a terminal open, use `find -L -type l` or `find -type l` (i can never remember which!) - something we can hardly expect from the average GUI user... +Maybe this could be accomplished through a [[dumb, unsafe, human-readable backend]]? + Thanks for any advice! --[[anarcat]] |
