Yes, this was my unvoiced expectation. Another useful data item that seems to be available might be Type (e.g. "phone") for visual reasons. > > > Do you expect the GUI to do more than that?

I don't think we need to support such a use-case. If we > do, we'll add the necessary D-Bus API to keep the matching inside the server. I think it makes sense to only handle paired devices. We can include UI to start pairing (I think this was in some of the wireframes even): A "Pair a new sync device" button but that should only open "bluetooth-properties". > I have a N900, but I may set its device name as 'yongsheng's phone' for > bluetooth. However, we can't get any useful matched scores so the candidate > list is useless and have to user's input. This is why I said we could leave it up to the client for now... I agree it would be nice if the server could do the matching but since we have to have some fallback anyway, we could start with that: just give me all templates and I'll pick a good one based on user input. If the templates have scores, thats good, but the client needs to be able to function without a clear winner as well... -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.moblin.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching someone on the CC list of the bug. _______________________________________________ Syncevolution-issues mailing list [email protected] http://lists.syncevolution.org/listinfo/syncevolution-issues
