Description of problem: If the directory selected from the Remote pane does not already exist in the Local directory, MageiaSync will not create it when the "Do Sync" button is pressed. Instead, the error message "no entry selected" appears in the Report pane. If, however, Remote directories are selected and one clicks on "Check" from the "Sync" menu, the directories that were selected appear in the Local pane and syncing will proceed as expected. This may be expected behavior, but if it is it isn't explained as such on the wiki page: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/ISO_testing_rsync_tools In addition, there is no documentation that I can find on what exactly the "Check" button is for, and how to use it. So if all I have done is stumble upon the proper procedure, the wiki should be edited to avoid confusing new users. Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:

Hello Thomas, Thanks for reporting. I have seen this bug and corrected it in release 0.1.7, already in cauldron. We have to port it also in Mageia 5. I will have also a look in wiki.

now fixed for mga5 too with python-mageisync-0.1.7 in Core/Updates_testing repo.
Seems to be working OK on both i586 and x86-64 systems. Adding both to the Whiteboard...
