Hi, forgot to mention one thing about disconnected mode. It did not feel right when I had to create a fake token just to access my own cached files. I do shut down the computer in opposite to hybernation, and Venus forgets my old tokens (which is all right). I do not see a reason why a user is forced into forging a token to access files. Either he/she should be denied access unless a valid token is presented (that would mean no disconnected mode!), or he/she should be allowed to access cached files which were allowed once during a connected session, independently of the presence of the token. No security is gained otherwise (you generate a fake token easily) but an annoyance is created. I can not log in to my environment directly, as it depends on things under my $HOME, so I am forced to login in two steps, first "failsafe" or on an alphanumeric console, forge a token, then log in as usual. In connected mode I am forced into doing clog the same two-step way. It would be exactly as secure but a lot more convenient to be able to always login as usual if your homedir is cached and then clog if you have the connectivity to do it. Note, I am very happy with Coda, nothing else comes near its features, but such small changes can make a lot of difference in the impression, especially for newcomers.
