Just as a side note: Maybe Genesis can be of some help here. Genesis sits in the notification tray and will show an animation + sync result report every time syncevolution syncs, including automated syncs. This does not really fix the problem of being unable to predict when the next sync will be, but it at least tells you when a sync has completed. > autoSyncDelay: > An automatic sync will not be started unless the peer > has been available for this duration, specified in seconds > or 1h30m5s format. > > This prevents running a sync when network connectivity > is unreliable or was recently established for some > other purpose.

By the way, what is the heuristic to find out whether network connectivity is available? I just recently had a bug report in Genesis that turned out to be based on an issue with SyncEvolution: When autoSync is switched on and one suspends the computer, it will attempt to sync right after resume (if the sleep interval is longer than the autoSyncInterval). But it is very probably that NetworkManager has not yet established a network connection, thus making the sync fail. I remember that currently network detection works only with ConMan, and not with NetworkManager. And probably this issue is already known, but resources are limited. I just wanted to point this out. Maybe it is a reason to add NetworkManager support, or maybe it’s easier to detect resume from sleep and wait autoSyncDelay before attempting to sync. (Resume detection is relatively trivial with upower, I temporarily added it to Genesis while trying to debug that issue.)
