Yes, and furthermore: I think the instances in which we have to fall back to actual copying or overwriting should be slim: genuine conflicts of core fields. Changing a password in two places at the same time, altering a bookmark title in two places at the same time. Most 'conflicts' -- *records* modified in two places -- will actually be either modifications of two different attributes (I rename a bookmark on my phone and move it into a different folder on my desktop), or colliding modifications of fields that are reconcilable (two devices both increment a usage count). The act of reconciling is one of extracting and comparing sequences of changes for congruence, and I contend that most sequences of real-world changes will be congruent. _______________________________________________ Sync-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/sync-dev
