Patrick Ohly <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Depends on| |52669 --- Comment #1 from Patrick Ohly <[email protected]> 2012-08-07 07:42:57 UTC --- Another attempt was more successful. Still not perfect, though. https://syncevolution.org/wiki/google-contacts-activesync Syncing will try to map all local data to these fields as good as it can. In some cases, for example phone numbers and addresses, this implies throwing away some type information. At the moment, SyncEvolution has no workaround for modified or lost information and will use the updated resp. cleared values when importing an updated contact from Google. "refresh from local" and uploading many contacts is slow. The slowness is caused by inefficient use of the ActiveSync protocol (each change is a separate request) and will be addressed in future SyncEvolution releases (by batching changes in one request). While talking to Google via ActiveSync, there is often no visible progress report. For example, a slow sync starts by downloading all contacts. That can take a while without even explaining that this operation is currently happening. Need to add more INFO messages to SyncEvolution. In the Google web UI, deleted contacts (regardless whether they were deleted during an incremental or refresh sync) are still visible as "other contacts". They can be removed in the web UI. Because a target config uses state information tied to the activesyncd account config, it is not possible to use multiple sync configurations with the same target. For the same reason, the command line --export operation on a target configuration breaks incremental syncing. Only use it when prepared to do a refresh or slow sync. Dumping the entire content of the Google address book before and after a sync (dumpData and printChanges properties in the target config) is not possible. There are several reasons: during an incremental sync, the server only sends changes. It can be asked to start over and send all changes, but then the incremental sync no longer works. Requesting individual, unchanged contacts is supported by the ActiveSync protocol and activesyncd, but not implemented by Google. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
