[Owncloud] Hate to say it but . . .

[Frank Karlitschek]

Hi,

we are very sorry about the problems that you and other described here. 
The challenge is unfortunately always to reproduce that problems.

So it would be awesome if one of you who has the problems could provide a step by step description how this conflict files can be triggered.

So something like:

1. install ownCloud server version x 
2. upload files
3. install desktop sync client version y and sync files
4. update client to version z
5. -> conflict files

It would help us immensely if someone would help us with that.

Thanks in advance.

Frank
