stop MPE popping into the front when Syncing

Hi,

Could you allow and option to stop MPE jumping to the front and taking keyboard focus when user interaction is required on a multi-sync.

I was just doing a Sync and was typing away in an email while it was running and MPE popped up asking me if I wanted to update a contact from outlook or my phone, but I hit return as I was typing my email EXACTLY at the same time MPE popped to the front.

The result, I changed something in MPE by hitting return and I may have updated the wrong record. It was also annoying as I had to jump back into my email - and the same happened on calendar events :-(

Cheers,

Chris.

The Sync-Confirmation SHOULD be visible cause it needs userinteraction. But you could set the Button-Focus to "Abort" - so that nothing happens if you did not want to Enter it

cool - i will try that, for me though, I would prefer to see it flashing in the start bar/task area so that I can deal with it when I am ready, not be forced into doing it.

this solution would be not enought i think. For some devices its important that the sync will be forwarded in less than 3 minutes. If you have many windows open maybe you don't realize it....

yeah, for some people. but maybe as an option so it is up to the user?

No, everybody who knows my way to work knowns also that i don't want to add an option for every tiny thing ;-)

I will think about the whole thing.... but a useroption is out of question.
