Work offline / Online

Is it possible to add the online/offline status of a folder?
With windows you can select shared mapped drives and select them as "Always available offline". This enables you to work offline and then Windows will sync it again when you go online again or when the server drive becomes available again.

I use FreeCommander extensively, but one thing that makes it hard to use is the fact that you can't see if a folder has suddenly gone offline or not. You may continue to work, and don't realize that any changes you are making is only made on your local copy and not the server version. In Windows, once you have set a folder or file on a mapped drive to "available offline" a menu/status bar button becomes visible that allows you to change the mode windows is working in. i.e you can work offline even though the drive is available; you can toggle back online even if Windows has switched you into offline mode due to a slow connection etc.

Wish list for FreeCommander
  • • A file or folder status indicator or icon showing the offline/online/availability will be great
  • • An button or menu option to work online or offline will enable you to switch Windows mode
