Great app! I've just imported a _huge_ ENEX file, and it worked perfectly. One side effect, however, is that I have a couple of hundred tags collected in Evernote over the years which fill the left panel. It would be great if the Notebook and Tags trees could be folded and unfolded?

On a similar note, I currently have to scroll waaay down my tag list to see the sync status - I feel this should be visible all the time, since it's important info (or optionally, perhaps).

if we could have the same for android (and I suppose for others devices) that'll be perfect.

Is it the same as #522 ?

[foxmask]

yes as this issue is a 3 in 1 :)

[msbentley]

Excuse my confusion, but it looks like this issue and #522 are closed, but have they been solved? I haven't seen anything in the changelog of recent releases etc. Perhaps I missed it, but just checking!

[foxmask]

was closed because duplicate of the current one

[msbentley]

Ahh, sorry, my bad - understood now - I was mis-reading the label above and thinking this issue was closed too... sorry!

[foxmask]

no problem :)

+1 for desktop (Windows) and also for mobile. This could be very useful since the button for manual synchronization is placed under the notebooks and tags.

Yeah this is needed for us guys with tons of tags...

I'll try to take a crack at it over the next few days.

Sorry for being late for the comment. But after checking the issues of #1001 #1002, I think an alternative solution for this problem could be:
1) Give a proportional height to the "synchronize area" and tie the "synchronize area" to the bottom of the "notebook-tag-sync" pane.
2) Make the "synchronize area" always visible if the "notebook-tag-sync" pane is also visible, unless new feature is added to toggle the view of "synchronize area", etc..

This way, to see the sync info, an user doesn't have to click anything, so the user experience is simpler. Meanwhile, the workload for dev isn't increased too much, I presume.

UPDATE:
After more thought, I think the two solutions could co-exist. We would probably need to toggle the view of notebook/tag/(or sync) whether we need the sync info or not.

This has already been fixed.
