Currently, when a sync is running and using a location you want to use in another sync, there is a message saying:
"Directory in use.... PATH\sync.lock - Username: NAME"
My request is to add the computer name in this message as well. Opening the lock file in Notepad++ shows that the name is already logged. The machine name would be useful in scenarios where multiple systems use the same username. The scenario I am experiencing is using a Microsoft account on multiple computers, thus they all have the same username. Another scenario I can imagine is one where an image is deployed to multiple devices. The usernames will all be the same, and so will the computer names, but the computer names are usually changed upon imaging since that doesn't require as much reconfiguration as a user change would, or they can be changed easily later for the same stated reason.
