Refactored and improved folder synchronization algorithm

Hi there

Would you please explain what has been done with this improvement in v6.0.1?

I have previously advised against using synchronized folders in our projects because of issues such as losing component settings and so on. Some projects would prefer to use synchronized folders if it were more stable.

Thanks

Hi,

This improvement includes bugfixes for the synchronization feature, therefore this feature now works as expected and does not crash anymore. Basically, we have increased the stability and reliability of the synchronization feature.

Please note that this happens only when the files are removed and then placed back in the synchronized folder on the disk. In this case the original components are removed when the files are removed and new components are created when the files are placed in the synchronized folder on the disk.
