deleted by creator

I am not sure that is supposed to be the takeaway message, but sure, whatever makes you happy.

Can I ask about the change of not keeping record of deleted files after 6 months by default. Does that mean if I sync two directories constantly so that if syncthing sees one of them has a file deleted, it will delete the file on the other too, if I copy back that same file into the synced folder, after 6 months pass Syncthing would sync that file again? Or what else does this mean?

Currently I am just using this to have an easy transfer between two computers, I keep moving out files that have been transferred from both folders, so I would think this has no effect on how I use it?

Don’t have a link to underline this but it was just a proposal and was not endorsed officially. This is not going to happen.
