better orphan files treatment?

any plans to implement an algorithm for treating orphan files? I.e., if a file only exists on one side of the sync, the program would be smart enough to know that it's either a new file since last sync (and should be replicated) or that it's an old file. (and should be deleted)

Leanware's Backer does this well. (www.leanware.com) However, their product does not support unicode filenames and I have trouble finding other sync software that has both unicode support and good orphan files management. If Synchronize It! implements this feature in a release soon you'll certainly get my business!

Yes, this is planned for version 3 - we just have to store folder content after last synchronization. But I just can not say exact date - we expect final release to be ready in a 1-1.5 months or so.
