I aplologize, you are correct. In essence, my response to your quenstions are below.
Mostly when I see the notifier in the first place is when I am copying files. It works for smaller stuff, but large copies do not ever complete. As I stated, this time it has been running for nearly 3 days. It stopped copying within the first 2 hrs or so, and I successfully rsynced it in the meantime...Twice. I will look around, and if I don't find anything, open a bug. --b On Fri, Oct 9, 2009 at 1:20 PM, Diederik de Haas <[email protected]>wrote: > On Friday 09 October 2009 16:45:30 B.
