I will crack open my latest build and see if i can recreate the problem.
it would be good if you could look in the umbraco tracelogs (/app_data/logs/) and see if you can spy any misbehaving uSync elements ?
it would be excellent if you where prepared to delete (or rename) the usync folder on the source installation, alter the web.config and watch uSync recreate the structure ? this would also produce a nice clean tracelog and i could go through it to stift for clues.
don't worry if that sounds too scary, i will see what i can do from this end.
that's very bizarre. uSync doesn't know about the views folder. it will write to what ever folder is set in the usyncsettings.config file within the config folder - if for somereason that isn't there it defaults to ~/usync.
the latest version of uSync for umbraco 6.1.x now uses the new CoreApi for Saves and Deletes of document types - while this shouldn't be any diffrent in terms of document types getting created it might be more stable and things might now be better for you
Document Types - Missing Def Files
Hello - firstly awesome package :)
I'm using Umbraco 6.1.2 with uSync and on a completly fresh install I've found sometimes the .def file doesnt get created.
So the document types don't get recreated properly.
However if I go back through and resave each the root document types it then creates the .def file.
Hummm...

Hi Kevin, I should of taken a backup of the site at that point. I'll go back in time with source control and see if I can recreate :)
Will post an update later, Laurence
Something has gone super odd!
uSync has started writing files into the /Views/ directory
that's very bizarre. uSync doesn't know about the views folder. it will write to what ever folder is set in the usyncsettings.config file within the config folder - if for somereason that isn't there it defaults to ~/usync.
can you check /app_data/Logs/ to see if usync is writing anything to the log file about the view folder?
Nope, no references to the View folder in the Log folder,
Search through and had a look. I've copied and pasted the uSync 'app start-up', but it looks quite normal to me.
