Re: [ptp-user] What am I to do with the Synchronized Merge View

Nevermind, I used "I get a merge conflict for a file that changed both locally and remotely. How do I recover from this?" on URL http://wiki.eclipse.org/PTP/sync-projects, and deleted the two .ptp-sync directories to get back alive again.

So I'm setting up a synchronized project containing about 3800 files. My local client is Linux and my remote host is Linux. I'm running the latest Eclipse PTP code from the nightly build. 

Initially I tried synching, but realized that I should have filtered out some of the root directories. So I added them to the filter after the fact. Next I deleted the local filtered replicated directories from my workspace manually using the command line, because I didn't want to use Eclipse just in case Eclipse would delete the remote directories. Now I'm getting Synchronization Error popup stating "Synchronization error for project: <project_name> Merge Conflict" and two buttons Open Merge Conflict View and OK. I selected Open Merge Conflict View and get a view with a number of files listed. Selecting on of the files I get a menu list with things like "Reset to version before merge", "Mark as resolved", and "Resolve as remote". Yet when I select any of these nothing seems to change in the view. Are these menu items documented somewhere? I now can't get synchronization to work without this error. I have tried to start and stop Eclipse, but that doesn't help. I'm frustrated and stuck.

Also the Synchronized Merge View does not allow me to select multiple entries yet I have 76 individual files listed.
