Hi DB3,
1) Themes - I will look into this. I wouldn't think that app themes would be affected, but I'll check it out. As for card themes, I think I'd want the sync to transfer the initial card theme setting for new deck transfers, as I assume this is what most users would want. As for later updates of existing decks, maybe don't transfer this setting during the sync to allow users to keep different card themes on different devices? I think this is what you are looking for. I'm not sure what users would generally want (I assume they'd want the theme to transfer), but not transferring would seem to provide a little more flexibility (at the expense of users having to make the same card theme setting on multiple devices for consistent changes.) I'll see how it goes on my testing.
2) Folder position syncing - this probably won't happen anytime soon. This is tricky on my end (partially due to ability to sync only some of the decks) and I think most people don't have that many decks (nor add/rearrange often) to make this a big deal. But it's something on my radar a bit later after I get other issues taken care of.
3) Auto sort decks alphabetically. Yes, this would simplify a solution in your case, but again, I'm not sure how many people would really need such a feature, and this requires extra programming and an extra option somewhere, so I'm reluctant to add. I'll give it some more thought.
Sorry I don't have a lot of good news for you. I will look into these more. Thanks for providing the feedback.
