The feature: I'd like the option to make MLO automatically sync with the MLO Cloud. preferrably once in 5 or 10 minutes.
Why: The MLO cloud service made me buy this application. It was the only thing missing, something that would synchronize all my computers and my handheld, without all the trouble of manually synchronizing. With the automatic synchronisation you don't have to worry about not clicking the sync button. And when you switch to another pc that's on, the changes you made are already there! This is real use of cloud functionality. Always updated, without the need of manually starting sync. Implementing this feature: It's pretty easy to implement. You can make a backup every 5 minutes, so the same command, but then the sync to MLO cloud action is all that is needed. But there are some little hickups that make it a little harder to implement so that it works without problems. I wrote them down: Possible Cons: More internet traffic on MLO's server. Possible solution: Make the maximum automatic sync time once in an hour. Possible Problem: 2 devices trying to sync at the same time. Possible Solution: You only use one computer/client at the same time. So when there arent any changes made on a client, that client should only get (recieve) changes, and not try to apply any). So you don't get syncing issues that soon. Another possibility is letting the MLO cloud only accept one connection at a time. When a second connection comes in, it wont let it through. When the client who couldn't get through notices it can't get a connection, it will try again in 2 minutes. By doing this, both clients will, after one try, sync at diffrent times. Other posibilities, for pocket pc: Automatic sync at startup and shutdown, or when a new task is created. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MyLifeOrganized" group.
