Hi. FFS is great, I love it!

As a suggestion for future releases, you could implement a way to delete the whole tree of a directory when the whole directory was deleted on the BASE side. As I see, you delete file by file, leaving emptt directories that are after removed. Deleting directory trees this way causes a HUGE slow down when you are syncing to a SAMBA Share. I have thousands of SDK files that sometimes I sync to my backup, and sometimes it takes hours just to start uploading the new files, because of the file-by-file delete. Deleting the whole directory tree of DESTINATION would spare me a fews hours everytime I sync my files.

I know it's a limitation in SAMBA protocol to work with many small files, but it's not so slow to delete the folder manually via Windows Explorer as it is when FFS deletes them.

Best regards
