Good Morning
I will be posting another update later this week with new code to github - fixing some of the bugs that have come up in the past few weeks.
Thanks all for your help

Merry christmas and a happy new year
Good morning.
I hope everyone had a nice Christmas and are making great plans for new year celebrations. I have put the sugar sync Linux client on hold for the moment, as i am finishing a client website at the moment which is taking up a fair bit of time.
In February I start my "computer and mathematical sciences" degree so will have a bit less time to do my projects so if anyone would like to contribute to the sugar sync Linux client i am more then happy to get the ball rolling.
Have a wonderful new year.

Typically Perfect
We managed to find the perfect house in the perfect area only problem, the huge deposit and moving costs (totally around £2000) it's such a shame. I would love to be able to put a deposit down for christmas.
On a side note - more work will be done on SugarSync tonight, aiming to fix the show stopping bug tonight, and draw some initial ideas up to sort out download syncs.

Error Handling & Deleted Files
I have updated git (eventually) with a few updates...
Now if we cannot connect to the database it exits gracefully (thanks to Russell for testing that one) and also a safety feature - When a file is "deleted" it is now moved to the "deleted files" folder on the sugarsync web directory.
you should be able to get the code from https://github.com/markwillis82/Sugar-Sync-Linux-Client if not - email me and i'll test it is up there correctly

SugarSync Joy – file renaming and deletes
Good evening,
I have added support for file renames (currently only within the same working directory - but this is on my list to fix) and file deletes, so the code is now volatile (in such that it can delete data from the Sugarsync servers, with no restore available)
I'm going to work on fixing a big bug for the moment now these core features are in, then start on a "copy" trick i'm thinking about (if a file is copied locally without change - I should be able to copy the remote file without requiring an upload)
I am going to ask a quick question... As this app is daemon/command line based, I am more then willing to build a web GUI for it.
Either making apache a pre-requisite or building something like tomcat and using a different port to enable a gui.
I would love to build a little system tray icon and bits - but it's not my language.
Also if any graphic designers (sugarsync design team 
) want to come onboard with some designing work (I'm a developer not a designer) i'll be more then willing to share my ideas.
I've updated git with my most recent changes
Thanks

SugarSync – File Renaming / Deletions
Good evening,
I have planned out the next few steps - mainly file renaming and file deletions. iNotify picks up a file rename as a delete and a move (how odd) and sugarsync can accept a copy command to rename a file, then delete the old one.
Luckily iNotify groups notifications together by a cookie so should be able to sort something out - in the mean time i'm doing a delete then an upload (terrible with large files I know)
The file deletion code is in, but there is still one big bug hanging around, throughout the code base - may require me to adjust the database layout slightly. (some type of path rebuilding / comparison is needed)
Also I NEED to convert my MySQL class to sqlite and use that (more portability).
I am also thinking of using a self contained version of php with sqlite and iNotify pre-compiled (mainly to add to portability as iNotify is an awkward thing to build)
If anyone can offer any help for any of these - drop me an email.
