Before starting a sync it means that no previous database dump for "addressbook" was found: either there was no previous session, it did not involve addressbook, or dumping failed. Such a dump is normally created automatically, so after a sync there should be one. It could be that the Akonadi source does not implement this optional behavior.

Please run with increased loglevel=4 (just add that to the command line), and then check in the log files in ~/.cache/syncevolution where PHOTO data is lost resp. available. > BTW, is there a possibility to see directly which items have been changed > how? Locally AND on the cell phone. Locally the data comparison (once it works) will give you something like that, in a format similar to diff. For remote changes only the statistics above are available. > Another comment concerning the help messages: When typing "syncevolution -- > sync ?" to get the different possibilities for sync modes, the descriptions > > refresh-from-client = discard all remote items and replace with > the items on the client > refresh-from-server = discard all local items and replace with > the items on the server > > are a little bit confusing for the case of synchronisation with a cell > phone.

I always wanted to introduce more generic names, but never had the time and also no good idea for the names: refresh-from-peer is fairly straight-forward, but the other direction isn't. refresh-the-peer/refresh-from-local? -- Best Regards, Patrick Ohly The content of this message is my personal opinion only and although I am an employee of Intel, the statements I make here in no way represent Intel's position on the issue, nor am I authorized to speak on behalf of Intel on this matter. _______________________________________________ SyncEvolution mailing list [email protected] http://lists.syncevolution.org/listinfo/syncevolution
