Not at all, I really appreciate your feedback, it's nice to know that 
people care about Box and want to make it better. I just wish I had time 
to implement everyone's suggestions (and my own wish list) to make it 
perfect :-)

I'm sure it's possible to pass the failed filename to the NotifyScript, 
I'll find a way, give me time...

Cheers, Chris.
