Why would it do that...? If the data.xml file (originally in the My PPC Documents on the PC) was renamed AND moved, surely WhateverSync would just delete the data.xml from My PPC documents on the next sync. There would be no data.xml file there for the viewer to import until the user downloaded a fresh copy.

What you COULD do is request for a manual conversion:
"A data.xml file has been found on your PPC.. would you like to update your database? Warning: this many take a few minutes."
Are you saying that there should be an option for delaying the import even though a new data.xml file is detected...?
