Folder synchronization - someone tested?

The folder synchronization function is very complex, so it would be nice to know if someone made tests with the function.

I noticed, that "Ignore 1 hour time delay" doesn't work properly. If you use this setting, then disappear items in the list to synchronize which have delay more longer then 1 hour (even days).
And if you have only one panel choosen (not dual) and want to synchronize folder (according your saved profiles) you get error mesage about application.

1) Apply selected profile:
double-click on profile should also be possible

2) Alt+S opens 'Synchronize...':
Alt+S should also give focus to it and bring it to foreground when it is already open in background

3) Progress bar when COMPARING files/folders would be useful

I've just synced test folders and found some strange behaviour:

after synchronizing I pressed the Compare-button again and a question mark magically appeared on the last file.
did several tests on different folders - sometimes I had to press the Compare-button three or four times to see that strange behaviour. (watch image: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/14257223/Opera ... esmark.png)

by the way: what does the question mark mean exactly

Agree with Reels
In Synchronize -> "Compare by date" -> "Ignore" must be set any period in seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years.

The question mark is for not compared items.
Normally you can see question marks only if you cancell the compare process with ESC.

.619 synchronization ignores empty folders on my machine
(doesn't find them on compare, doesn't copy them on synchronize)
