I have a few bugs to notify about and a some improvements to suggest. All my input applies to version 4.1.2 (Build 388) (OS 5.1.2600 Service Pack 3)
synchronize remote C:\www /var/www/htdocs/project.nordiccapital.com-https -delete -mirror
keepuptodate C:\www /var/www/htdocs/project.nordiccapital.com-https -delete
4) Refresh the local source path in explorer.exe (F5), the directories are still there, they are also still there in the remote path. Trying to delete them locally (again) via explorer.exe results in the following message "Cannot delete file: Cannot read from the source file or disk".

1) Run: "C:\Program Files\Synkman\winscp.exe" synkman@192.168.7.10 /keepuptodate
4) Unminimize it. You now have a big grey windows that you can't influence.
When logging together with keepuptpdate the logfile grows very quickly. Consider having a logging option with less output, maybe the same amount of output as in cmd.exe when running /keepuptodate with /console.
This one is a bit trickier I suppose, but being able to minimize winscp.com to tray would be just super!
