Two features I'd LOVE to see implemented, but understand if they aren't an immediate priority. :-)

1. **Enable/Disable Project Folder Monitoring**
Some of my files & projects are located on a network server. When I'm not on that network, CodeKit freezes & I get prompts every minute or two that the server could not be found. The first few times it happens, I can't close CodeKit out to stop this because it keeps freezing. This could also be useful if you have many projects but only want to worry about 1 being monitored but want to retain your project settings.

2. **Automatically Upload Compiled Files**
With Espresso, I can have the edited file automatically uploaded to my server whenever I save changes. However, when testing stylesheet & script changes that need to be compiled with CodeKit, I have to edit, save, wait for compile confirmation then manually upload the compiled file. For my workflow during the "testing" phase, having those compiled files upload automatically would save me a large amount of time!

See my amazing mockup for an example of how this might look/work per project/file: http://f.cl.ly/items/0x273d2Q2J2P1g2h171Z/CodeKit%20Features.jpg

Thanks for developing CodeKit! This incredible app has changed my workflow so much for the better.
