Folder synchronisation issues

[grahamrhind]

I am finding some unexpected behaviour when synchronising folders, and I wonder if anybody has any tips.

1) I create a folder and then, using "Import files ...", I highlight 1000 picture files to import to it. Perhaps 200 are imported and then the import finishes without error message.

2) I synchronise that same folder with Ctrl-F5. It shows it is adding files, but when it finishes it does not show those extra files as items in that folder. If I leave UR then start it again, I DO see those extra files.

3) I very often get "unable to open database file" errors when synchronising.

4) When I synchronise a Window's directory to a UR folder, then add a new file to that directory outside of UR (for example a document that I created in Word and saved to that directory), the manual suggests that when I synchronise again that new document will be added as a new document. With me that's not always happening. I have to reimport to get that new document into UR.

Thanks a lot in advance!
