I dont need hotsync support and i am not using it in windows too. How much effort would it need to make a simple commandline version (like the one in windows) which just uses a .sdl file to download or update documents. I would really like to use my linux router to do this instead of my windows box.
I will only support platforms that I'm going to support with the commercial version. Right now, that means only Windows.

The reason Sunrise is as actively developed as it is, is because there's a commercial incentive behind it. Now if I did expand support to other platforms, even with a simple command-line tool, there would be a reason for people NOT to choose my product. Namely: the freeware version supports Linux, while the commercial version does not.

Hope you understand.
