It could be useful to add a setting to specify the binary path of syncthing
In my case I put some apps' binaries in ~/.local/bin to keep my system clean.

but indicator was unable to found it i have to put it in /usr/local/bin

The only way to get syncthing tray working is to stop '[email protected]' then start it again when the syncthing tray is working.

Syncthing daemon cannot be started, check log for more details.

error message does not appear when gnome shell syncthing indicator is closed.

GNOME Shell 42.5
Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS

I installed the extension using the provided script install.sh
But it failed with Extension “[email protected]” does not exist
So I retried manually:

$ gnome-extensions install [email protected]
[email protected] exists and --force was not specified
$ gnome-extensions enable [email protected]
Extension “[email protected]” does not exist
$ gnome-extensions list 
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]

How is that even possible?
The extension exists but it does not exist?

I may be a gnome-shell bug, but since they have 4000+ open bugs, including segfaults, I doubt this bug - that may be only related to this extension - deserves a bug there.

This has worked great for me for a good while now, so thanks,
Now i am fully upgraded to
fedora 36
5.17.13-300.fc36.x86_64
gnome 42.2
anything else?

Update from the gnome extension site fails and leaves the system in error state.
Bit of a shame as it was working before (fedora 35)

Did the git clone and install and that works. That's the only reason i add the issue, seems strange that git works when web install does not.

Any logs needed i can provide, just don't know which now.
Anyway, thanks

Seems to be starting Syncthing, can access the dropdown menu, however updates of the icon do not occur.
I get this errormessage: this._httpSession.queue_message is not a function

Since updgrade from PopOS 21.10 to 22.04 with Gnome 42 I get the following error message

I removed and reinstalled the extionsion, rebootet the system, restart syncthing. Nothing solved it.

Where do I find the extension log?

Error message after update.
I did Remove extension, and reinstall but that does does nothing. Not a new install extension in .local/share/shell ... extensions

When I install this extensions I get the follow error message

First of all, let me thank you for making this extension.

I tried to use it on two different machines with GNOME 45 (Manjaro and EndeavourOS), but did not work in both.
Not sure what is the problem but it simply would not connect to synchthing.
Hope I can get some help...

Using syncthingtray until it is not fixed.

Thanks again, cheers

Describe the bug

With the update of the gnome-shell the extension broke. Here are the changes: https://gjs.guide/extensions/upgrading/gnome-shell-46.html , I think that the relevant section is https://gjs.guide/extensions/upgrading/gnome-shell-46.html#gjs
The error: TypeError: this.add_actor is not a function

Syncthing Indicator version

34

Installed from

GNOME Extensions website

GNOME Shell version

46

Linux distribution/release

Arch Linux

I'm running this on NixOS, where Syncthing is installed as a system service.

The indicator loads the initial state but does not refresh after that.

I'm seeing this error in the logs.

JS ERROR: Gio.IOErrorEnum: Socket I/O timed out
openConnectionMessage/<@/run/current-system/sw/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected]/syncthing.js:804:26

Do you have any ideas what could be causing this?

This is strange actually. I've had this issue for some time, but I realized just now that Syncthing Indicator is responsible. When the extension is enabled, all the top bar menus become larger: places, system menu, app menu...

An example below:
(extension disabled)

(extension enabled)

This is on GNOME 40, but the issue was there on 3.38 too.

How to translate this extension? Please add support for localization.

I would like to create the Hungarian translation.

The service is running, which I can access via my browser, but I'm wondering if it's because I have it password protected that the indicator daemon cannot access it?

Will it be possible and sustainable in current scope of the project to release this extension as .deb and/or .rpm packages?

In my case, this will be useful for Fedora Silverblue multiuser setup.

Hi!
I'm getting this error every 20 seconds:
gnome-shell[115898]: [syncthing-indicator-manager:ERROR], Service failed to start, syncthing.service
gnome-shell[115898]: error: Syncthing Indicator: daemon-error

Unfortunately I cant find documentation about how the indicator expects synthing to be started?

I have configured syncthing to startup via systemd as described in the syncthing docs.
./systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/[email protected]
./systemd/system/sleep.target.wants/syncthing-resume.service

what can I do to get it working together?

In https://extensions.gnome.org/local/ no sign to update. (green square).
expected a green square button to upgrade.
find no upgrade button.
Thanks for your extension.

This extension doesn't work any more on GNOME 41 (NixOS-unstable), it's disabled itself because of missing metadata.

I assume it's as simple as adding the version to src/metadata.json

Currently it's difficult to see in both light and dark modes.

Light mode:

Dark mode:

Suggestion: Use bright green for dark mode and dark green for light mode, or one shade that remains clearly visible in both modes.

With GNOME Shell 45 all extensions will break and will need to be ported.

https://gjs.guide/extensions/upgrading/gnome-shell-45.html#esm

fresh install Ubuntu 24.04
extension-manager shows this error (syncthin indicator version 35):
Error: Unrecognized parameter "append_to"

I originally reported this as an issue to GNOME Shell, but it turns out it's caused by the Syncthing Indicator extension:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/6071

Essentially, when the Syncthing Indicator extension is enabled and Syncthing is running, the gnome-shell process throws constant errors and uses 100% CPU on one core.

It's caused by libsoup errors. A GNOME Shell developer said the following, which might be helpful:

I had a quick look at the extension source code and it seems like it has not been adapted to this change between soup2 and soup3: https://libsoup.org/libsoup-3.0/migrating-from-libsoup-2.html#status-codes-no-longer-used-for-internal-errors in openConnectionMessage. Since this has some code that could potentially end up creating lots of timeout sources, this might be what's causing the problem.

Getting this error (on GNOME 3.38.4) repeatedly. The daemon is running and working fine.

Let me know if you need any more information. Thank you!

Hi,
first, thanks for your extension. It's great.
I wanted to report some error messages that appear in journalctl (see attached). I should add that the extension keeps working despite theses messages.
log.txt
I can't tell what triggers them.
I use gnome 41 & fedora 35.
Let me know if you need any information.

Sincthyng works perfectly.
Slices "start from boot" and "service" work.
Connection to web interface opens fine.

What is not working is:
1st. Hostname device detection. It says just "This-device".
2nd. Folders shared detection. After remove default one I cannot set nor make them detected. I mean, after log-out/log-in or reboot.
3rd. Probrably "rescan" should make second point work but no effect detected after click on it.

Thanks

Hi, first I want to thank you for this extension. However, there seem to be a bug that is driving me crazy. I use Syncthing to sync one folder between my desktop and my smartphone, so the service is always running is background at boot time on both devices. Things work just fine at first, but at some point (and this happens all the time) the extension on my desktop goes crazy: it starts bombing me with tons of notifications nonstop saying there's a connection error to my smartphone. Screenshot below, full message is something like "Syncthing indicator service error, Connecting to 'device-id'...".

Syncthing service keeps working fine, Web UI also opens without errors, but I have to restart the service in order to stop the notifications.

I can't exactly tell what is causing this. It appears to be due to my smartphone disconnecting from WiFi and then reconnecting immediately after (bad signal) but I can't be sure. Regardless of the cause, the extension shouldn't bomb me with error messages for no reason.

Hello do you think it's possible to test it (and enable support) for gnome 43 beta (fedora user will need it soon)).

OS: Fedora Linux 36 (Workstation Edition)
Gnome Version: 42.4
Windowing System: Wayland

The Syncthing Indicator extension is broken. The extension loads successfully and I can see the icon on the top bar, but nothing works. The extension does not connect to the Syncthing service although it does successfully starts the service (I can see it running in the System Monitor). It does not show any of the connected devices or synced folders.

In the Extensions application, the extension is shown as not enabled (even though it is) and the following error message is shown:

Object 0x25caec0a3430 is not a subclass of GObject_Object, it's a Promise

Gnome Extensions keeps downgrading syncthing-indicator to version 17. I tried installing versions 18 and 19 from GitHub but the extension is downgraded automatically immediately after. If I try to install it from gnome's website it just says that it's incompatible. Could it be syncthing-indicator's fault?

Arch Linux
GNOME 40.1

With paused folders, I have an error every time the extension checks its status (I guess):

[syncthing-indicator-manager:ERROR], Not Found, GET:/rest/db/completion, 404, folder is paused

I suppose that we could skip paused folders.

I may be able to do some more debugging if needed.

Hi, Great, simple indicator.

After syncing gnome-shell extensions between two machines, my previously working syncthing tray indicator on an updated (from 25 to 27) machine started throwing this error message
"Syncthing Indicator
Cannot find syncthing config, syncthing might not be installed, check log for more details."

The syncthing-indicator is starting syncthing. I can access the web interface independently, and files sync.
The .local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected] directories and files are identical.

The tray app show syncthing as not running, the host device and other connected devices are not identified, and no folder are populated in the drop down. I can toggle the Service and Autostart toggles, and they start and stop the service and autostarting.

Not sure where else to look to troubleshoot this and hoping you can help, is there some other setting that may or may not have been synced which would throw this error? I have uninstalled the extension multiple times between shell restarts and complete reboots, and nothing will get the tray indicator to update with devices and folders, although syncthing is running.

Thank you for any insight you might have.
