folder in your Home folder, and it syncs with the cloud on
updates.</p></div>jamietag:support.markedapp.com,2011-09-11:Comment/263673292013-04-12T22:49:53Z2013-04-12T22:49:53ZAuto/Manual Refresh not working with SkyDrive<div><p>And is your SkyDrive indexed by Spotlight?</p></div>Bretttag:support.markedapp.com,2011-09-11:Comment/263673292013-04-12T23:01:42Z2013-04-12T23:01:42ZAuto/Manual Refresh not working with SkyDrive<div><p>That is a great question. I assume so, since I have not
specifically excluded it. However Microsoft may on install (though
I do not see the point of that). I'll check it out, and re-index
via cli, and let you know if it gets fixed.</p></div>jamietag:support.markedapp.com,2011-09-11:Comment/263673292013-04-13T00:15:35Z2013-04-13T00:15:35ZAuto/Manual Refresh not working with SkyDrive<div><p>You can tell quickly by running <code>mdls</code> on any file in
the folder and seeing if there's any metadata listed.</p></div>Bretttag:support.markedapp.com,2011-09-11:Comment/263673292013-04-13T13:04:01Z2013-04-13T13:04:01ZAuto/Manual Refresh not working with SkyDrive<div><p>Hi Brett</p>

<p>One interesting thing that may play a part - is that the
SkyDrive "folder" is only in my Home folder when I am logged in. I
noticed this this morning while trying to run mdls from another
account (via su) in the command line. DropBox was there,
GoogleDrive was there, but no SkyDrive. When I fully logged in as
this user, the SkyDrive "folder" was now in my Home directory...
Very odd.</p></div>jamietag:support.markedapp.com,2011-09-11:Comment/263673292013-04-13T13:53:55Z2013-04-13T13:53:55ZAuto/Manual Refresh not working with SkyDrive<div><p>It appears, though I haven't been able to confirm, that the
SkyDrive folder is actually a network mount. Marked can't track
files on network mounts, and that would explain the lack of
refresh. What I'm not sure about is why manual refresh wouldn't
work if that's the case. Are you certain that hitting ⌘R
doesn't update the preview for SkyDrive documents?</p></div>Bretttag:support.markedapp.com,2011-09-11:Comment/263673292013-04-15T14:56:02Z2013-04-15T14:56:02ZAuto/Manual Refresh not working with SkyDrive<div><p>So, here is something interesting. I was talking it over with a
co-worker this morning, and I came up on the idea that maybe the
SkyDrive folder is just hidden until a proper OSX Login... I logged
in as another user on my Mac, and in Terminal, I switched users
(using su) to the user who has the markdown files on SkyDrive. When
I ran 'ls', as expected I could not find the SkyDrive folder. Tried
'ls -la', also no SkyDrive folder. Okay - so let’s try
running 'locate SkyDrive' - that did show a record for
/Users/jpeloquin/SkyDrive . I tried 'cd /Users/jpeloquin/SkyDrive
', which didn't come back with any errors... Interesting - so I did
and 'ls' and sure enough all my files were listed. With this info,
I would say that there is definitely a cache folder, like
DropBox/GoogleDrive - but for some reason they pass a hide flag on
the folder upon logout, and unhide it on login (I assume the
SkyDrive.app has a daemon that does this). This, if nothing else,
is a very interesting look at how SkyDrive works... Makes me feel a
little queasy...</p></div>jamietag:support.markedapp.com,2011-09-11:Comment/263673292013-04-15T15:01:07Z2013-04-15T15:01:07ZAuto/Manual Refresh not working with SkyDrive<div><p>As for the manual refresh (⌘R) - the refresh is hit or
miss. It will sometimes refresh, sometimes not. I will say that if
auto-refresh isn't working, then the manual refresh also does not
work. Is there anything that might show up in the console logs if
there is an error in trying to refresh a document?</p></div>jamietag:support.markedapp.com,2011-09-11:Comment/263673292013-04-15T15:48:37Z2013-04-15T15:48:37ZAuto/Manual Refresh not working with SkyDrive<div><p>Another update on the SkyDrive - even with the jpeloquin user
logged in, I can not see the SkyDrive folder in a remote session...
Very odd.</p></div>jamietag:support.markedapp.com,2011-09-11:Comment/263673292013-04-18T17:13:36Z2013-04-18T17:13:36ZAuto/Manual Refresh not working with SkyDrive<div><p>I'm going to have to say that Marked probably can't track files
on SkyDrive. I'll attempt to test as I'm able, but without knowing
what the issue actually is, it's difficult to say.</p></div>Bretttag:support.markedapp.com,2011-09-11:Comment/263673292013-04-18T18:23:12Z2013-04-18T18:23:12ZAuto/Manual Refresh not working with SkyDrive<div><p>No worries, after investigating how SkyDrive works, I am a bit
concerned about always having access to it... Will most likely move
all my important docs out of it, and consolidate on either DropBox,
Box or Google Drive... Thanks so much for taking the time on this
ticket!</p></div>jamietag:support.markedapp.com,2011-09-11:Comment/263673292013-05-15T12:45:58Z2013-05-15T12:45:58ZAuto/Manual Refresh not working with SkyDrive<div><p>Hi Brett</p>
<p>Follow-up on this issue. I moved the markdown file from SkyDrive
to DropBox, and I am experiencing the same issues with "Refresh"
not actually updating the preview. It seems to work once or twice,
and then just stops refreshing (including when using Preview >
Refresh). If it makes any difference at all, I am using BBEdit to
write the document.</p>
<p>Thanks,<br>
Jamie</p></div>jamie
