Added a warning when older files will replace newer files. This can be turned off on the "Warnings" page of the Preferences.
Added a setting "Check for available space before copying a file" to the "File Errors" page of the Preferences.
Fixed a problem which could result in an error when copying a locked package.
The Preference setting "Ask Finder to eject disks" has been removed on OS X 10.5 and later, because the Finder now presents a dialog which interrupts unattended ejection of a disk.

1) Gets hung up on file name characters that should be legal.
"Parameter error - there may be an invalid character (that is, /\|:*?”<>) in the file or folder name."

2) Mistakenly things destination drive is full when it isn't even close to full.
"The disk is full."
"B.S."!

Synchronize! X Plus works fine when both Macs are awake and available all the time. However I doubt many users set their desktop, let alone their laptop, never to sleep. Surely most users of this product need to synchronize folders over a Wi-Fi network, where one or both Macs may be asleep or out of range at scheduled sync time, and SXP has to be able to cope with this.

So far I have failed to find a set-up that does not lead to SXP hanging when a volume is not available, despite the existence of a disk error time-out option in preferences. Even the option to abandon a sync attempt if a scheduled time has passed doesn't appear to prevent this.

The most irritating thing is that it slows down the whole system, and after a Force Quit it forgets all my preferences and persistently shows the license splash screen on launch.

Oh, and I agree with the comment that the user interface needs updating. The concept of running 'documents' may make sense in the context of scripts, but especially since the main window of a SXP document only displays the folder names and whether it's a sync or backup, I think a Mail-style Rules window with the syncs listed and an Edit button would be more intuitive.
