I mainly use MacVim for remote editing, so I'm not completly shure how other editors are affected, but 80% of the time I see an error when saving the file:

Most of the time the files are saved anyway, but sometimes it is not (or worse).

There are no such problems when using Transmit, so I guess it is a ForkLift related problem. :(

Hello Schlaefer,

Indeed, there seems to be something here - we were able to reproduce the error.
On first look, it seems to be an issue of timing here, caused by MacVim's method for handling edited files. What MacVim does is that it creates a temp file locally, deletes the original file, and renames the temp file at the end of the save operation.
What happens if that ForkLift is looking for the file when it is not there yet.
So this issue is limited to applications that use a similar method than MacVim for handling files (if any).

In any case, we will be including a fix in our next release.

Thank you very much. That would be really, I mean *really*, splendid! :)
