Hi guys, I've only just started using this app which works quite well, however
I've come across a bit of an issue when it hits a folder it doesn't have
access to.
I am trying to do a mirror sync and it came across a few folders which I
didn't have access to. It popped up the "Windows Error code 5: Access Denied"
which is correct, however, after I changed the security permissions giving me
access on that folder I pressed "Retry" on that popup error but it doesn't
work. The message keeps showing even though I now have access to the folder.
If I hit abort and do another compare it passes the folder fine.
Is this a bug?

No, it's a limitation. Actions that break due to errors during comparision
cannot be "retried". This is in contrast to copying files during
synchronization. In both scenarios the same callback is used, leaving "retry"
a no-op in former case.

If thats the case, shouldn't the "Retry" button be removed?

Sure. It is "only" a limitation of the software interfaces used. However
instead of hacking in a solution that removes the "retry" button in this
specific case, it's better to make it work as expected to harmonize behavior.
I'll have a look into this in a future release.
