MilkSync issues
(closed account) says:
Hi, I just registered, purchased Pro and immediately grabbed MilkSync. I feel more productive already!
I've noticed two things with MilkSync. One is a bug and the other could be a bug or a feature request...
I'm using a Sprint Mogul and when I slide out the keyboard and the screen rotates, MilkSync is not resizing its window. I don't get to see the syncing status portion of the window.
When I did a first sync I had a ton of tasks with categories that did not match my list titles (I decided to re-work the listnames as contexts in RTM). The first sync dumped all the tasks into the Inbox, which I get because the category didn't match the list names. I used RTM on the web to move everything to the right list and then used MilkSync again. It quite successfully updated the task categories on the PPC, but unfortunately it did not remove the old category names. I'd like the option to automatically remove categories that are not matched to RTM lists...
Thanks and keep those Pro features rolling. :-)

Lee, thanks for reporting these issues.
With the screen rotation issue, can I ask if a scrollbar appears when MilkSync is rotated? We can investigate this.
MilkSync leaves the categories on tasks on the device, as in Windows Mobile it's possible to have a task in multiple categories (and we didn't want to potentially mess up anyone's organizational system). However in RTM, each task can only be in one list (so I can see that it might be useful to be able to remove any categories that aren't in RTM on the device, if RTM's version is the one that you use). We'll look into this -- thanks for your feedback!
