Synchronize Browsing experiences?

[bigstar]

DayCuts,

It would appear that if the folder doesn't exist remotely based on the listing then the folder was set as "", when syncing "" is equal to CDUP which is why this occurred.

I've decided to change this and attempt to change folders regardless of if the folder exists in the listing as it may have been created and the cache is out dated. Also if the folder simply doesn't exist it won't do a CDUP. though it will still break sync browsing.

Also this behavior existed since sync. browsing was first added.

I did some tests where one site root was / and the other was /temp/ as root and as far as I could tell everything seems to be working fine. Although I did these tests after making the above change so that may be a factor, I'm not 100% sure.

I'll be posting a new build to beta testers today with the above mentioned change, Please give it a try and let me know if you notice any other oddities.

I dont think this is accurate, i just tested this with with the 3.4 final because i was sure this had never been the case before. I was right, 3.4 final does not fall back on a CDUP at all, if you attempt to enter a folder (either locally or remotely) and this folder does not exists on the other side then that side does nothing at all.

Personally i think this is the preferred behavior and should be put back, i dont think falling back on a CDUP is wise and im not sure attempting to enter the directory is desired either. I dont use SB that much compared to some others so maybe they have a better informed (for lack of better word) opinion on the matter, but it worked fine before and im not sure there is any reason to change it.

Will check out the new build shortly.
