What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Copy a file in an unencrypted folder and paste it into the same folder
2. The copied file will sync correctly into the encrypted folder
3. Try the same thing in reverse, and the copy will not sync back to the unencrypted folder

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I would expect to see the duplicate(d) file(s) sync'd in both directions. Instead it only appears to work from unencrypted>encrypted, not encrypted>unencrypted

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

1.1.4.241 on Win 7 Pro (64 bit)

Please provide any additional information below.

I stumbled on this as I was testing cryptsync to see if it was going to work for me. I was just copying and pasting files to be able to see how quickly they sync'd back and forth, and at first I thought that the program was randomly missing files. Eventually I narrowed it down to this scenario, as all other files I added to either folder sync'd perfectly.

    Since the file names are not encrypted, I think it might be another problem: "Mirror original directory ..." option is on. As the result, copying is only done one way.
