Description

The "Sync now" is very misleading when used while sync is paused. I would expect it to just sync all the files from all connected folders and keep sync paused afterwards. This is not what happens. What I see instead is that it turns on sync, but just for the "My Documents" folder.

Initial state, 4 synced folders, sync paused:

Press "sync now" button:

Sync for "My Documents" (and just for "My Documents") is enabled:

I currently just use "Resume sync for all" followed by "Pause sync for all", but I expected "Sync now" to behave like this as well.
