Deleting an item on my Mac without getting a "Sync Report"

yohasebe, April 18, 2011 12:58

I have an original todo management script written in Ruby that syncs with Notebooks via Dropbox. Almost everything is working fine, thanks to the simple and excellent data structure of Notebooks. I never had success, however, in deleting a todo text (with its plist file) without getting a "Sync Report," which is somehow annoying. I appreciate if you could share any idea on improving that part. Thanks.

Hi,

it is interesting to hear how you are using Notebooks! I agree, constantly receiving sync reports is annoying, but we need to take a close look at what is going on...

- which files are mentioned in the sync report? Is it those you deleted, or is it the task details?
- Notebooks compares the modification dates of its local files to those from Dropbox; The report is issued when both versions have been modified after the latest sync. Can you somehow reproduce that?

If you wish, we can continue the correspondence by mail: notebooksapp@me.com

Best,
Alfons
