Horray! You guys are so great for having it out before I even install. I am very happy!

What does "delete protection" mean? How about "aged event filtering"? Neither is really mentioned in the Read Me file. It's great that you're adding new features, but if you don't document them, it's hard to know what's going on.

Damian,

You're right--these features should be better explained in the ReadMe. We'll get to work on that. We're also planning a video tour of Spanning Sync that will touch on each of the new features.

In the mean time, here are some quick descriptions:

Aged Event Filtering lets you specify a date before which events will not be synchronized. This can considerably speed up syncing for people with calendars going back several years. Find it by clicking the "Advanced" button in the Spanning Sync preference pane.

Delete Protection asks you to confirm operations that will delete more than five events in any single sync operation. This can be disabled.

Thanks,
Charlie

Charlie, I'm having a terrible time syncing in Leopard. I downloaded the latest software before updating to Leopard. Now, with Leopard installed, I can't get the sync to work. Everyime I try to sync, it takes forever, and .Mac sync opens as well and tells me I have 140 conflicts. Help! This is very frustrating. Thanks for the help in advance.

Lee,

I'm sorry Spanning Sync is giving you a hard time. Please create a problem report (by opening Spanning Sync, clicking "Advanced..." and "Create report") and email it to us at support@spanningsync.com along with a detailed description of the problem. That will help us track down the issue.

Thanks,
Charlie
