Hi Tom, They are not required, but they eliminate potential problems that may be encountered with the simple path-based node identification scheme. The risk level is fairly low, and you should be fine with the force option disabled.
The path-based id scheme fails if you have this: * Parent ** A name *** A node you didn't edit ** A name *** A node you edited The path to the node you edited is ambiguous and will cause a sync conflict. As long as you keep this in mind, you should be fine. Hope this helps, Richard On Fri, Jan 15, 2010 at 12:02 PM, Tom Tobin <korp...@korpios.com> wrote: > I recently upgraded my org-mode, and found that org-mobile-push > started to litter my org files with property drawers.
