Hi,

Where did you download Sync version 1.0.0.1 from? Browsing to

http://addons.alfresco.com/addons/desktop-sync-alfresco

and then clicking the Downloads "button" sends me to

http://sourceforge.net/projects/alfrescodesktop/files/

which shows 0.9.2, 0.9.3, 0.9.5, 0.9.6 for Windows and Mac.

Oh, on the other hand, are you talking about desktop sync at all? or another sync product? (I was assuming desktop sync since your original post is in:

http://forums.alfresco.com/forum/end-user-discussions/alfresco-desktop-sync
).

I downloaded from the 4.2.c wiki page
http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Community_file_list_4.2.c
That page has been updated with a newer version since 4.2.c release.
Sort of hidden, and part of what I was trying to say in my post is this; that the development of desktop sync seems like a not so well nursed side project. That of course may not be how it is viewed internally. Bu there is no official ongoing status, no update posts in this forum. You can see some of what is happening in the issue tracker https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/DSYNC
But a post here or a blog post with some official statement concerning Alfresco commitment and Status of Alfresco Desktop sync would be nice.

Hi,

<blockquote>
-Sometimes the Alfresco Sync icon (top of screen) disappears, and you have to open the tool from Applications to re-start it.
-The function 'Sync Now' does not always work. You have to go to preferences, and start the sync from there.
[…]
-Sometimes you have to sync 3 or 4 times to actually complete the sync, even though the tool icon says 'all files are up to date'</blockquote>

for information I downloaded windows client yesterday (1.0.0.1) to try and test it and also has these issues too.

Not exactly similar, but I really wonder why you only can synch with your favorite site.
