I'll mark this as Triaged since I can also confirm the issue and think
it is ready for a developer to look at.
I too have been driven a little insane when editing files in ~/Ubuntu
One :) When you open the file with vim it creates a swap, so you get a
notification that it is starting a sync. A few seconds later you get a
second one telling you it has finished. Now you make a change, save and
exit, and you get 2 more notifications. More humorously, if you close
the file before the sync is done, it will tell it is "done updating 0
files".
I think a conservative list of ignored files would be good like
vim/emacs/gedit temporary files. All hidden files might not be good as
as you might use Ubuntu One to sync configuration files as I do and then
you might run in to a problem. At the VERY least, it seems very logical
to at least ignore these files for notifications if it is deemed
problematic to start ignoring some files (though I think starting with
editor temp files is a safe start).
