[Bug 1103193] Re: ubuntu one does not notice when hamster.db changes

2014-02-05 Thread Jason Moore
Just to chime in. I've never been able to get hamster synced with dropbox or ubuntu one. I think it must be due to the reason Rüdiger Kupper mentions. The computers are always out of sync and I've even had data loss from switching back and forth. At the moment, I'm only recording hamster tasks on

Rechecked this in Raring (13.04). This is definetely an issue with Ubuntu One and not with Hamster. Ubuntu One does not detect the changes of the Hamster.db Synced my hamster.db and created md5sum. Then added a few activities to the db and checked md5sum again. Although the file and md5sum

I confirm that using dropbox, hamster.db is synced to the cloud immediately whenever it changes. If dropbox uses the same inotify events as u1 (as comment #4 suggests), it interprets the events differently. However, syncing hamster.db between two computers is still not working properly: If the

I'd like to know how it's working well with dropbox then. AFAIK, dropbox also uses filesystem (inotify) events to determine when to sync files. We are using such events in Ubuntu One. If hamster is keeping the file open and thus preventing the appropriate events from occurring, then there isn't a

I'm not sure what schema hamster is using to store data in that hamster.db, but a better solution than file sync, would be to allow using u1db as a storage backend, and having the hamster process control syncing of that data. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of
