Hmmm. Both Mike and Vern say "saving member", but I have just compiled 6 members in a row without opening them, and the synchronizing message came up and prevented the next compile twice during that (after the 3rd and 5th compiles, I think.) I did not open any source members, and no source members were open while I was doing this. The only transfer of data that should have been going on was the download of the EVFEVENT file, and both times the "error list" was displaying the (successful) compile results before the synchronising message came up.
I don't use iProjects, just RSE source member filters.
There must be another reason for the synchronising message? To be honest, my mind is filling with all sorts of paranoid tin-hattery because I just can't think why the IBM i and RDi should be talking to each other for up to a minute between these compiles.
Where should I change the logging level?

Just to add a bit to Vern's excellent description...
In general the synchronising in RDP/RDI can be push/pull. The case of saving is just a push of the content.
If you have an iProject and switch to the iProjects perspective then you will see a Remote Reconciler view. Right-click on an entry to see what fun you can have! In RDP on AIX/Linux (now RDAL in v9) this is used to synchronise a local copy of the source with the remote project. I will admit though I don't know if it is recommended for the IBM i or not as typically an iProject is primarily a push kinda flow (from the iProject to the IBM i).
Should the synchronising (saving) be taking a long time that could indicate a slow connection, big source or some problem. Increasing the RSE logging level could fill up your .log faster or provide some insight there. YMMV.

This came up as a tangential explanation in another thread recently.
Edmund or Mike from IBM said that while the member is being saved (resources are being synchronized is the fancy term for that), several operations can't be done - compilation seems one that should NOT be possible, since the member isn't ready for it.
Now when running in SEU or PDM, you get the Save screen and can't compile with opt 14 until that's done - seems that is about the same.
I wish the wording were something like "saving member" - I even think it used to say that - along with the discussion and use of terms recently in the colorization settings, lets have terms that have always been used by us developers, not something that may have meaning in some broader community - no one has ever used words like "synchronizing resources" in this arena.

Subject: [WDSCI-L] Synchronizing Resources
I'm using RDi v9.0.1 and I am having minor problems with "Synchronizing
Resources". That text and a tiny progress bar appears in the lower-left
area of the status bar, and I am not sure why it is there. While it is
there I can not compile source, and the RSE's context menu's "compile"
options just do not display. It takes up to a minute to disappear
sometimes. (Which is an eternity when you are in the zone!)
It happens after compiles, but not all compiles. It happens whether
source is open or not (so probably not related to the newish overview).
Can anyone tell me what resources it is synchronizing or knows how to
stop it? (Or even what triggers it so I can work out how to work it into
my "flow"?) It might be related to the problem some are having with
updating the EVFEVENT file, as "synchronizing resources" seems to come up
intermittently after compiles as well.
