I set syncthing (and the whole system) up from scratch yesterday on arch linux arm. The only setting I changed in the web-GUI was: Remote Devices->Edit->Auto Accept. And so I think “Auto Accept” is buggy which complies with weird errors and crash, new folders dont sync on new simple setup

got exactly same error on syncthing v0.14.48 “Dysprosium Dragonfly” (go1.10.3 linux-arm) and i didn’t edit the config by hand, every folder has different id. now i search the forum for this bug.

If you disable auto-accept by manually tweaking the config, does it fix itself?
