Lucas, I agree with you and it really is an MLO problem. It's just that it's not a problem with mixed-mode sync. You can get the same problem with cloud sync alone. Just change a task on windows and sync to cloud, then without syncing Android make a change there. Then sync. One of the changes will be lost based on your sync setting, and neither setting will always be right. Latest change isnt always right either.
I believe there are two possible solutions: 1. Implement on Android the process that's on Windows that notifies the user that a task was modified on both sides and let the user pick which one to keep, or 2. On both Windows and Android, sync each record to the cloud immediately when it is modified. -Dwight -Dwight Mlo betazoid on Android sgn2 On Jun 11, 2014, Lucas D <lucas.dre...@gmail.com> wrote: >On further thought, I now realize it was somewhat unfair for me to >blame >MLO for this problem, since in a way the behavior makes sense in terms >of >the logic of the "Use local version" setting.
