I just stumbled over a small bug regarding package files, considering filenames with "Umlaute" and other non-usual letters:
Such file names are stored correctly in the package (I checked list.txt), but then they are read from it wrongly.
Example:
file named zürich.jpg on computer A and computer B (identical).
1. create package on computer A -> list.txt will contain zürich.jpg
2. synchronize package with computer B -> it want's to copy zürich.jpg from computer B to the package, and a file named z³rich.jpg from the package to computer B. It doesn't find this file in the package, though. because it never existed.
Conclusion: There is a small bug in retrieving unusual letters from list.txt
Best regards

Uh, I'am using the second last beta version, so maybe this was not unicode written? It says 3.3.1483
I just realize now that in your dev-blog you have two downloads,
wndsyncb.zip and Unicode
Sorry, I didn't realize before those are not the same versions of the program. I thought it was just different ways to install them. I will give the unicode version a try, then, thank you!

P.S. what exactly is the difference between the two versions?
PPS: another sorry for having posted that at the wrong board, should probably have gone to beta ...

You can check this, for example: http://www.unicode.org/standard/WhatIsUnicode.html
In short, Unicode version handle all texts as sequence of 2-bytes characters, so all national characters are safely handled - that is all special file names, file content etc. It is nice, but Unicode was not fully supported in Windows 98 and ME.
