PollyQ: iPod Sync Sizes
« on: February 16, 2006, 09:11:54 am »

MC isn't calculating available space on an iPod correctly.  It seems to basing its calc on what's currently on, rather than what's going to be put on, even when "Delete from handheld any files not in sync list"* is checked.

Example (4G nano):

On the first sync, you put 1G of music on.  You then tweak your sync settings so that there will be 3.5G total.  However, free space calculation does not take into account that most of the initially sync'd files will be deleted.

This is a real hassle -- I'm moving back a version because of it.   :'(

* Also, the wording on this option is really awkward.  How about, "Delete any files not in sync list from handheld", or even, "Delete from handheld: any files not in sync list"?

I can't reproduce this using a Nano.  Files flagged "Delete On Sync" get backed out of the size calculation shown on the Action Window.

Thanks!
