There have been some improvements in the Live Mesh management of conflicts, but only insofar as allowing you to “perform this action on all of these conflicts” (in batches of 50) – which makes things only slightly less tedious for large conflict sets.

I have experienced a new conflict issue where I get the screen “the following conflict has occurred” but I am presented with a completely blank option – ie no files or folders are listed and there are no action buttons apart from “next”. This means I end up with a slowly growing list of conflicts that I can never clear as there is no option that allows me to clear them. I have resorted to deleting the folder from the Live Desktop and then re-synching the files again. Not ideal as it is a very inelegant solution, but there seems to be no other work-around.

And, Microsoft, it would be great if – one day – I could safely remove the growing number of 18000+ files in the Holding Area as they are taking up more and more disk space.

Generally, Live Mesh is still holding up and doing a good job of synchronising files and folders, both with the Live Desktop and also peer to peer, but there are a couple of niggles mentioned here which would be great if addressed soon.
