Configure name of sync.ffs_db in GlobelSettings.xml - Problems with Windows Offline-Files

[janbrinkhaus]

Hello gentlemen,

when locking sync.ffs_db in the file system, the logic behind that implicitely expects, that there is only one version of this file. And that this one version is locked.

This is unfortunately not the case in some configurations with offline files under windows. Unfortunately there is also the possibility, that Windows goes in "Offline mode", when it thinks, that the connection is "slow". So Windows can go offline on filesystems as a "feature", without that the user needs to do something. If afterwards one goes "online" again AND someone else within that time synced the file structure and modified the database, one of the two users has a mess.

I know, that this is a really special case :-) . And that one should not treat every special case too deep :-) .

BUT if you could "give" me the possibility to define the name of the "sync.ffs_db" in the GlobalSettings.xml... so that I would be able to have a "sync-jan.ffs_db" or things like that, I'd be very happy. And you'd have a standard answer for support questions like mine :-) .

Would you please be so kind and let me influence the filename string in the GlobalSettings.xml?
