cannot add parent directory of previously synced directories

[Nathan Williams]

issue: unable to add parent directory of directories previously sync'd with Ubuntu one.
what should happen: directory is sync'd (maybe new sync absorbs previously sync'd children dirs?), or information is given advising how to resolve conflict
what happens: directory is not sync'd, no error or warning dialog is given

Steps to reproduce:
1) create nested directories, like ~/Pictures/tmpdir
2) right-click ~/Pictures/tmpdir and choose to synchronize the directory
3) after ~/Pictures/tmpdir has sync'd, try to enable syncing on ~/Pictures

Hi Nathan,

Thanks for your report. I'll mark it as a duplicate of bug #979901, that asks for a better error report.
We currently don't support synching nested user designated folders, but we have that feature request on bug #1008607. Please, mark it as affecting you; that will help us to give it the right priority on our backlog.

pura vida,
Leo.
