| | Bugs in Live Synch In contrast to some other posts on this website, I have to say that so far my experience with the transition has beek ok. Both computers running Win XP are currently running Live Sync successfully, and my 5 folders are synchronized. However, I have a found a few bugs, which I detail below: 1) The website does not accurately report which computers are currently synchronized. 2) On Computer "W", 4/5 "Personal Libraries" did not get automatically transferred from Foldershare to Live Sync - the program just reported that there was an error and to go to the website to set them up again 3) After completing (2) successfully last night, I woke up this morning to discover that 3/5 libraries were grayed out for computer "W", meaning that "W" was no longer getting the synchs. I re-re-set up those libraries in "W" and since then (3 hours) I have had no problem. 4) This is not a bug but a complaint about the user interface. Having to navigate the hierarchy of the directories every time I have had to set up a library is really cumbersome (especially because we have to wait for the browser to read the directory contents and refresh). I have had to do this several times over the last week and it's annoying. Why not just let the user copy and paste a path?! I have to say that I was surprised by the abruptness of the switch. I know we have been warned of the impending transfer but at least give people a heads up on when they should expect it! Bizarre to say the least. So, in summary, my experience so far: bumpy but not the screeching crash I had feared. (knock on wood) -Alex |

| | RE: Bugs in Live Synch Thanks for your feedback. Your migration issues where probably due to a slowness in the system yesterday, which has been fixed. We will look into your first website issue and the copy/paste feature request. -- Jeremy Epling Lead Program Manager - Windows Live Sync (formerly FolderShare) "delenca" wrote: Quote: > In contrast to some other posts on this website, I have to say that so far my > experience with the transition has beek ok. > > Both computers running Win XP are currently running Live Sync successfully, > and my 5 folders are synchronized. > > However, I have a found a few bugs, which I detail below: > > 1) The website does not accurately report which computers are currently > synchronized. > 2) On Computer "W", 4/5 "Personal Libraries" did not get automatically > transferred from Foldershare to Live Sync - the program just reported that > there was an error and to go to the website to set them up again > 3) After completing (2) successfully last night, I woke up this morning to > discover that 3/5 libraries were grayed out for computer "W", meaning that > "W" was no longer getting the synchs.

| | RE: Bugs in Live Synch Hi Jeremy, Thanks for the reply. Update: (1) Now it's working (3) Happened again. The same computer had 4/5 libraries turn "gray". This might be related to (2) since it's always the same 4 libraries that have the problem. These are all 4 libraries that used to exist at "Shared Libraries" until last week when I deleted them and remade them as "Personal Libraries". I re-re-re-added Computer "W" to one of these libraries and left the others untouched. Curious to see what happens now.
