Help on Google Drive sync

   A couple of issues (version 0.49):
   - Application does not seem to follow local folder move actions: if a folder is moved, Syncdocs deletes it from GD and then re-uploads it to the new location - instead of just moving (re-labelling) it on GD. This can be an unnecessary waste of time/bandwidth with larger folders. I know that other software (Syncplicity, Dropbox, Live Mesh) work correctly, albeit with different cloud storage.
   - Local folders sometimes get duplicated (together with contents) in GD when synced. Happened once, no apparent reason.
   - Extended character sets in filenames sometimes get copied with incorrect encoding, resulting in "weird" filenames in GD; files then get multiplicated (loop, up to 20 copies of the same file).
   - "Do not convert to Google Docs format" does not stay checked after login error even on 0.49.
   Thanks for an otherwise fantastic application!!!

   Thank you for the detailed reports.
   - We're working on reliable folder move mirroring. We agree our approach is slow, but reliable.
   - Please send a sample of the extended character set filename that causes the looping so we can fix it. You can send it via this page:

   - We're working on fix those few remaining login errors.

   Your last two points, extended characters and "do not convert..." are now fixed in 0.50 Syncdocs.
   Please let us know if you see duplicates again.
