  1. When I try to add a shared folder to BT Sync on my iPhone by taking a picture of the QR code on another BT Sync client, I get the following error message:

     

    SE_SM_NO_IDENTITY

     

    The error message appears after I have taken the picture.

     

    What could be the problem?

     

    (Workaround: Reinstall app … and lose all offline data.)

  2. I have noticed that is is very easy to lose data with BitTorrent Sync:

     

    From time to time, BitTorrent Sync running on one of my OS X clients informs me that sync for some data, usually large files, failed and that the affected data was moved to the archive …

     

    That is quite a PITA since the data is no longer accessible on the client where the message appeared and you have to manually rescue the affected data from the archive on another OS X client. If you are not careful or if you wait too long, your data is gone. Since BitTorrent Sync  should excel at syncing large amounts of data, this behavior is especially worrisome IMHO.

     

    Any ideas?

  3. On Macs with BTSync installed, I noticed that file listing in Finder don't update or only very slowly.

     

    Example:

     

    If I rename a few files, the new names are not shown. If I try to open a file under its old and still listed name, I get an error message (because the file was renamed but the new name is not shown yet).

     

    In Terminal, the new file names are listed.

     

    in Finder, the file listing gets updated sooner or later (or by using killall Finder).

     

    Any ideas?

     

    The issue is reproducible on several Macs, all running OS X 10.2 (now 10.3) and the latest version of BTSync.
