Sync by type
I would love the option to sync bookmarks, sync passwords and then sync all. Most of the time i only have bookmark changes and the password sync takes too long. Just an idea.
I’m happy

Inappropriate?Hm, good point. Password sync is more resource-intensive due to the encryption it performs, so it might be good to take a shortcut there. We'll mull it over!

Inappropriate?Maybe there could be something to detect if the local passwords and the server passwords are the same, and only sync if needed. I don't know if this is possible with the encryption -- maybe compare the md5 hashes (or whatever you use)? -
Inappropriate?The one thing that bugs me is that I don't appear to be able to FORCE a password sync. Likewise, I'll have added or changed passwords for some sites and I don't see the password sync occurring. I'm using Firefox and Tools > Options > Security > Passwords has "Remember passwords for sites" set and I can successfully hit the "Saved Passwords" button and finally agree after I hit the "Show Passwords" button. For that matter, I can even use the TextSnap(tm) function of HyperSnap 6 to obtain an RTF file of the entire set.
I don't really see how the password sync is supposed to work. Long, long ago I set my password PIN and haven't changed it since and Foxmarks / Xmarks doesn't seem to have a problem with it so I'm confused. As it is, I do the HyperSnap deal mentioned above to ensure that I've got whatever my current password set is, but I feel rather wary about Xmarks having -it's- copy of it synced with my current set.
BTW: does this comment actually make sense to you? Just wondering.
