When a task is in L&F I think my job is to fix it ASAP and then sync. Part of fixing it is getting it out of L&F, because nothing really *belongs* there. It sounds to me as though you are building a branch of stuff that makes its permanent home in L&F - that sounds wrong to me. Try moving the tasks to where they belong and see if sync doesn't start working right.
This is just my feeling, I have no inside knowledge of how L&F was designed. But if there's something wrong with a task on the phone and you instantiate that error on Windows through sync, you are creating a "propagated error". Propagated errors involve many more variables than simple errors, and are generally way more difficult to reproduce, diagnose, and repair. By not syncing your tasks that are still in L&F I would say MLO is doing a good job of protecting against error propagation. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of M H Sent: Monday, June 18, 2012 9:04 PM To: MyLifeOrganized Subject: [MLO] Re: "<Lost+Found>" Okay, now I'm nervous. I did a sync today and had two <Lost+Found> branches show up. It seems one was a re-creation of a PC delete I had made and another held an item that I'm presuming the sync had trouble with on my Android. The real scary part was, that my android had an item in the <Lost +Found> branch that wouldn't show up on my PC, no matter how many times I sync'ed. I sync'ed one and then the other, back and forth three times and the PC wouldn't get the one item from the Android. If I added a child item into the <Lost+Found>, that item would sync. In fact that <Lost+Found> branch, a top level branch, wouldn't have its position in the list sync'ed until I added a child item under it. So, it seems that what ever problem arises seems to be left on a single device and doesn't propagate. This is very troublesome to me. If I push sync, I'm trusting that once the cloud service has a copy of my sync'ed data, any device I then sync, will have an EXACT copy of that data. If the sync logic allows problematic items to exist on a single device, then I have to add checking every device for aberrant data as part of my work flow... which is exactly what syncing is supposed to prevent! Is this a bug or something that I'm not understanding? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MyLifeOrganized" group.
