#28 Empty folders not being created

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a sync pair where the source folder contains some empty folders.
2. Allow the sync to run in the background.
3. Notice that the synced copy does not contain any of the empty folders.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I would love to be able to have the option to determine if empty folders should be synced. A checkbox in the sync details for a pair could work.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.0.5.168 x64 on Windows 8 64-bit

if you want to sync folder structures as well, create an empty dummy file in otherwise empty folders. That way they'll get synched as well.

Implementing synching of completely empty folders would only work half way: deletions of such folders could not be detected properly since once it's deleted, there's no way to find out whether it was a file or a folder.

Also keep in mind that some of the cloud storage providers don't sync empty folders either.
