  1. I found an issue when using Selective Sync that can take to data loss in a certain scenario.

    Computer A shares a Folder and computer B synchronises with that folder while Selective Sync on B is switched on. Copying a "big" file -let's say 4 GB- into the folder of Computer B will immediately begin the synchronisation to it's "master" Computer A. Choosing the context menu option "Remove from this device" on that file on Computer B while it's still synchronising will remove the File BEFORE the synchronisation process to Computer A has finished. This means the loss of that file.

     

    In my opinion, there are 2 ways to handle this scenario in a correct way:

    1. Don't allow to use the context option "Remove from this device" until the File has really been synchroniced, so the file will remain on the "master" computer as expected.

    or

    2. Allow to use the "Remove from this device" action, but apply it once the file has been successfully synchroniced.

  2. The problem is that .app files are shown as .app files (e.g. Pixelmator.app, Proximity.app, etc.) even if there are NOT synchronised. All other not synchronised files are correctly shown as .rsls files. You may argue that .app files are folders... but even if this is true, the icons are not displayed as folders. So in our eyes there is some inconsistency that can be irritating.
