Too Difficult To See Sync Status

[argos]

Hello,

 

Often I'm syncing multiple folders and I have a hard time finding out which ones are done and sync time left.

 

For instance, I have to open the UI each time to see transfer status and rate. Dropbox makes it simple with a tooltip when you mouse over the icon :

 

 

How tremendously useful that would be.

 

For finding out what folders are done syncing, that I'm not sure about. Dropbox has Finder integration with status icons :

 

 

That might not work as well though if it were added for folders, and if there were a way to add an icon to the Finder toolbar, to show folder status, that would save quite a bit of work trying to figure out what's done.

Yep I do agree with that.

Yes, I'd also like to see this feature in Windows OS.

With regards to the status in the system tray: due to the distributed nature of BTSync and block-level syncing, it could potentially be syncing a large number of files simultaneously. (The same thing might apply to Dropbox, since it has LAN syncing, I guess.)

 

As for Sync status in the finder, that indeed sounds like a great feature!
