(Get the code!)
well i have a huge problem with this bug.
actually, in maverick and lucid it's pretty easy to share a folder by wrong clicking, which i did (got a laptop, using touchpad for the first time;). unfortunatly, the concerned folder had really lots of video-files in it, all together about 60gb.
so i immediatly tried to stop syncing by unchecking the ›sync with u1‹ option. after a few attempts i figured it wouldn't work. so i found this bug here. tried the steps from the workaround. had the --delete-folder option even running over night for about six hours. nothing happened. i got to the conclusion that the scanning of 60gig's might just take that long, so i removed the files from the shared folder. now, there's just the folder and nothing to scan or sync inside it. however, --delete-folder does not work.
would be happy if you have any suggestions. plus it would be very wise if the user was asked (in case of false-clicking) if (s)he really wants to share that folder, by a pop-up window. it's way to easy to get into this situation.
