The overhead can be anywhere from 30 seconds to several minutes. It is just annoying to have to re-do it when I already did it upon opening the project; it just so happened that *this* time I wanted to go the other way, but that is not how the project was saved.
The use case is: sometimes schema changes are very organic, and so they follow the traditional dev -> qa -> test -> production migration; other times, they are a result of an emergency fix in production, and so the changes need to be back-potrted and fully tested once the emergency fix is proven. As I'm sure you're aware, we can't always follow the process to the letter; and up until now, I've been able to switch sync direction without needing to re-compare. Can I asked what changed that makes this not an option? Are you saving time in the general case by only determining in advance the changes required in one direction? (It's ok if you say yes to that answer. But if that's it, I'd love an option to pay for the extra work in advance if I want to.)
Another use case (that does not affect me personally right now) is synchronizing development schemas in two different environments (e.g. two developer machines). / comments

Thanks for the honesty Michelle. Really kind of too bad, as I used that context menu quite often. :-( / comments

I'd actually prefer the error message. If the object is simply left out of the synchronization script, then it makes it hard for me to realize that it has been left out. Sometimes there is a four-part name hidden deep in the bowels of a stored procedure and it's not always going to be obvious that this object is being left out for that reason. / comments

I think both would be useful. It doesn't have to be very big text for the date itself, and then some visual clue, like a yellow star icon, or different colored text, for the newer object. http://sqlblog.com/files/folders/19478/download.aspx / comments
