Space is usually a premium on my ipaq. I would hate to have a Sunrise update fill up my RAM and cause me to have to do something drastic in order to fix it (in case the OS or apps became unstable due to lack of temp space). What I'd like to see in Sunrise or the new conduit is an option to limit the size of either each document or all documents.

Some channels are quite small, but I have a few that I like to turn images on and those can be upwards of 1.5MB. If a size limit were enabled on a channel or a whole set of channels I would expect Sunrise to just stop where it was, close out the document, truncating where necessary. I'm not sure how the logic would work because I know you don't know how big the doc will be after compression. There has to be some way to go about this though. Perhaps just have Sunrise estimate based on an average compression ratio.
