Ok, tried to incorporate the comments you guys gave. I chatted with
Patrick and we came to the conclusion that we should be able to get rid
of the synthesis signal altogether by having to signals (Status and
Progress) ... I'm going to look through the sync-ui code for any gotchas
but I think this is true, and have updated the API proposal.
I'm still not too fond of the current GetReports idea (using hash keys
like "source-addressbook-sent") but I've tried and can't come up with a
proposal that would have the same features and a sane API. It'll do.
Changes:
* Sync() now has the forgotten "mode" variable for sources
* renamed SessionReady to SessionCreated, because that's what it is.
Moved session.Close() to server.CloseSession() so it can be called
before the session is actually created.
* progress signal reworked: signal "Status" is for sync and source
status changes and "Progress" includes the whole known progress state
for the sync. There are matching Get-functions for both.
* config functions now have a BOOLEAN variable "template"
for accessing templates. Note that the functions in the session
interface refer to the server specified in StartSession, so creating
a config from template looks like this:
server.GetConfigs(true)
// pick a template here ...
config = Server.GetConfig("chosen_template", true)
// modify configuration here ...
session = server.StartSession ("my_config")
// wait for SessionCreated here...
session.SetConfig(false, config)
session.Close()
Sound sensible? One could also start the session earlier if that
makes more sense in the client.
