Well, I respect your choices, but like I said, this is a show stopper for me. I will not use a software in which a modification done by someone with whom I'm sharing files can silently override my local modifications (and I'm not the only one). For starters, this would force me reviewing all my files on a regular basis, something that should be done in the first place by the software. Unfortunately, as you explained, this idea of overwriting and renaming is deeply integrated into syncany and I don't see how to bring user intervention into the current design. The only acceptable solution under this constraints, in my opinion, would be to follow seafile's lead (http://seafile.com/en/help/colab/): the local file remains untouched and the conflicting file is downloaded with a specific name. I don't know if seafile prevents this conflict file from being uploaded. Should be fairly easy to do. As Seafile implements git conflict resolution, this happens no so frequently, so it's acceptable. Annoying again, but acceptable. However, you don't seem to be willing to follow this solution, which means that we are truly at a dead end in a way that prevents me from using syncany. I'm sorry about that. Nevertheless, I hope syncany will succeed, and I will keep an eye on the evolution of the design to see if some patching is possible to make it acceptable for me.
