Yes, you have demonstrated it, hence your Quid Era Demonstratum.
Windows MLO contains a conflict resolution procedure, such that when a single transaction is modified in both the local and remote copies, MLO shows you the transaction (sometimes it's *many* transactions, allows you to view the fields where the copies differ, and select which copy to keep. _This is available *only* in windows-to-cloud sync._ For mobile-to-cloud conflict resolution is a one-time choice of always-believe-local or always-believe-remote. Your test shows that this choice is in effect, is operative and works for wifi. Any default setting like this will sometimes be wrong, and for that reason several people including me have advocated for the procedure used in windows-to-cloud to be used for all MLO sync. MLO developers have not yet responded to this request. -Dwight From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of sram Sent: Tuesday, September 10, 2013 11:39 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [MLO] Why am I not offered chance for Conflict Resolution with my WiFi Synchronisation? ok.. done created task "task" in desktop version.. synced it to ipod version.. case 1: changed task to task1 in desktop, task to task2 in ipod; in ipod wifi sync settings selected use local.. resynced.. result: "task2" in both places.. case 2: changed task2 to task3 in desktop, task2 to task4 in ipod; in ipod wifi sync settings selected use server.. resynced.. result: "task3" in both places.. Q.E.D..? I didn't see any conflict resolution choice being offered either in the desktop or ipod versions..

Create a task named "test" then sync and verify that it's present on both systems. Now stop sync from running. Turn off your router, or if that's a problem, turn off wifi on both systems. Change the task on one system from "test" to "test1" Change the task on the other system from "test" to "test2" Turn wifi back on and sync. Do you get a conflict notice? -Dwight From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jonathan Stevens Sent: Thursday, August 08, 2013 7:07 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [MLO] Why am I not offered chance for Conflict Resolution with my WiFi Synchronisation? I can't work out when this stopped working. But I no longer get offered the choice to handle synchronisation conflicts individually when syncing via WiFi. In fact, just today, as I was toggling back and forth between other applications, I noticed the Conflict Resolution dialog box appear with LOADS of items listed. Just as I registered this and thought "oh, I've not seen that for a while!"... it just disappeared. That made me think that MLO was making its own decisions without giving me much chance to be involved! But then I found on my phone that there had been an error in the sync, so I re-sync'ed. And it seemd to go fine. Although still no Conflict Resolution option presented to me. So the main issue is: I've not been shown the Conflict Resolution dialog for several months at least - and I'm *SURE* there must have been some conflicts as I do update my MLO file quite often on both my desktop and my phone, as a rule... Is there something I can do? Many thanks in advance for any help... Jonathan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MyLifeOrganized" group.
