Why there are still previews in a resource fork, when there is evidently a way to store it in the data file (for Windows users) is beyond me. This is the one big drawback to FolderShare. I hope they either incorporate file fork handling or everyone just drops the use of them in the Mac development world. FS is indispensable to our two-person consultancy though: All project files sync'ed at all times. PS - Leopard's auto-generated previews appear to be messing up our PhotoShop files with FolderShare now!

There are only two things that bother me: 1. it is not a universal binary. 2. I cannot find a way to keep the FolderShare icon out of the Dock. Any idea? FolderShare is great, overall.
