The plugin doc is up at: http://www.multisync.org/developer/plugin_howto.html
It looks pretty good. I need to review a few of the details (memory management, etc.) and give it some more review before giving it to a wider audience. This should be a very useful document, so thanks for getting it going. To answer your question about whether the plugin has to know the state of each object on the device: yes. The reason for this is that sync APIs vary between devices - some have an API that tells you about all adds/deletes/modifies every time you ask. Other APIs work via timestamp and can tell you about modified and added, but not deleted. Still others don't tell you anything and then plugin has to keep track of all states (the Opie plugin does this with MD5 sums for example). I have looked at the KDE PIM plugin code and it looks like a good start for addressbook. I set up autoconf/automake for it so makefiles are generated and don't have to be hand-editied. However, I need KDE 3.2 (running 3.1.X right now) to build it, so my compile fails. I'll get y KDE upgraded tonight and then once I can build I'll check things in tomrrow. Thanks again for getting involved - we're happy to have the help :) Tom On Thu, 6 May 2004, Tom Foottit wrote: > Stewart, > > Just wanted you to take the lack of a response so far as me being very > busy and not a lack of interest :) > > I will review the document you sent last Sunday and the KDE plugin code > this weekend, and get the code into CVS if it looks ready.
