adamw Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 This is already up on several news sites, but I thought it'd be good to have it here too. I've been working on making synchronization of Windows Mobile 5, 6 and 6.1 devices really easy with 2008 Spring. There's a video of the process at www.youtube.com and instructions for the bold who are on 2008 Spring pre-releases already at wiki.mandriva.com.

coverup Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 Adam, Thanks for the excellent demo. I hope you don't mind me asking a question... I have been synching my Palm PDA with evolution via gnome-pilot for some while, and from my experience synching between more than two devices (eg, a PDA and two desktops) often leaves a mess of duplicate appointments. This usually happens when you sync the mobile device with desktop 1 at home, and then with desktop 2 at work, ie when you cannot put two desktops in the same group. I am wondering if this issue has been resolved in the kitchensync/multisync. By the way you did not mention Palms in you demo :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamw Posted March 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Multiple devices and desktops works fine with opensync, due to the way it's engineered. I've tested a group containing my WM6 test device, a Nokia phone, KDE and Evolution, and this four-way sync works fine. I believe it would work correctly with your example case, too. Palm isn't mentioned simply as I don't have a Palm test device so I cannot be confident that the Palm support in OpenSync works, or document the exact procedure :(. I'll try and get hold of a test device, but if I can't, you'll have to just do it yourself; it shouldn't be too hard, install the appropriate libopensync-plugin-* packages, and kdepim-kitchensync, and try it. If anyone's got an old Palm device gathering dust that they wouldn't mind me putting to a good use :), let me know. I think I would need it to be a USB-connected one, but other than that, anything should do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
