Hi, Riaan.
The way that you would like to see synch work seems to me that it will
be provided by "Push" technology if/when it is implemented to MLO. This
is described in a different thread on this forum, here is a link:

Please notice that in a comment to this thread, Andrey, the lead
developer, states that this feature is currently in testing. Also note
that the developers plan to make push technology something that will be
enabled or disabled by the user, because it may use quite a lot of
resources.

The reason I did not get the desktop version of MLO is because while
testing it alongside the android version, sync did not work as it should.
When I say "as it should", here's the standard expectaion: when using
Google Photos, Google Calendar, Google Tasks, Gmail, Box, Dropbox,
Skydrive or Google Drive (all various different services that provide
"sync" between multiple devices), the expected outcome is: I changed
the file/service here on my laptop, so, within a few seconds (or
minutes, if your file is very large and your internet connection is
very slow), I should be able to access that file/service from my
mobile device/any other device, and it should be synced. Also vice
versa: changing it on a mobile device will sync within seconds at most
(sometimes minutes, except if your mobile only syncs over WIFI, in
which case it will autosync the moment you enter wifi). This is, to
me...and probably the rest ov our little planet, "normal" operation
when considering a sync service.
Here's what I experienced with MLO: It syncs either when it "feels"
like it, or when you force-sync. That's why I stopped using the
desktop. I would rather schlep froth just using the phone version,
and workaroudn as best I can, than (which happened to me several times
during the testing periods) miss tasks/loose info because I changed it
on my mobile while standing at our reception, and then, walking to my
desktop to continue working, and finding that the changed/updated task
is not there/not changed/updated.
So, that was my experience around the end of 2015. Any news if this
is now working like a normal, expected sync: ie: when I change
something on a device, it is synced within seconds (at most a minute
ortwo) AUTOMAGICALLY....not when I force-sync?
I would so like to use the desktop version in combination with the
android, but this non-syncing is a major deal-breaker obviously!
I am not interested in "checking" or "making sure" that my device or
my laptop is synced every time I quickly wish to use MLO. It should
auto-do this.
Thanks folks.
