Yes, unless you unpublish the shares before the data on the server
was deleted, Chandler will still think you have those published. Not
sure if we can automatically update that or something. I just deleted
those collection and reimported my calendars.
Chandler thinks it has shared the collection. But when you sync, the
.chandler directory can't be found and the sync aborts.
The "restore published shares" looks promising to "restore"
deleted-on-server shares, but I don't think that but does what I
think it
might just from the name.
Restore published shares works if you have published collections on
the server then you wipe out your Chandler repository. You can
reconnect each share individually and use the same ticket.
Take online/offline doesn't do anything.
We are renaming those menu items so they make more sense. Technically
offline is supposed to exclude that share from the background sync. I
think right at the moment is just excludes it when you Sync All.
I'm not sure actually how to get Chandler back; Sheila's working on
docs.
As soon as I verify everything works, then I will send out some
instructions.
But design suggestion wise, it might be very cool if Chandler would
recreate
a share that's missing on a service at the beginning of a sync
operation if
it finds the share is missing outright. That'd make, if I
understand it,
recovering from a wiped server as easy as "Sync All".
I suspect this will all be part of our bigger data migration plan for
0.7. We are still working on all the details.
