  1. I am aware that BitTorrent Sync currently will not sync open/locked/in-use files. This may ultimately be a dealbreaker for me, so I was wondering if there was any chance of changing the behavior, in particular to allow updating/uploading open files. I currently use BTS to back up certain documents and simultaneously make them available on my phone. Only the primary computer has full access; the rest are using the read-only secrets. I usually have a number of my documents open for editing or reading, and I save regularly. However, I often will leave those documents open for days at a time, and it's very inconvenient to close them, sync them, and then reopen them and reorganize the windows. I'd much rather have it update the backups every time I hit save (and the date changes), even if I haven't closed it, as some other products (in my experience, DropBox) do. I'm not sure if there's a major technical hurdle, or if it's a design choice, but I would definitely appreciate the ability to make BTS act as described. (This could also be offered as an advanced option, if BT didn't want to change the default behavior.) Thanks for a great tool, puk
