Welcome back, Sandy - and thanks for your hard work on tomboy/droid :) Meanwhile I was thinking about "nice but simple" ways to improve the tomboy-autosync experience.
1) A "sync in progress" message is the easiest way to explain what happens. Stupid users like me would not file bugs. 2) Instead of triggering new timers when the note is edited, tomboy should sync every N min, but delay sync whenever a note is edited. Starvation could be prevented by decreasing the delay over time or forcing a sync after 2*N min? Whenever a starving note loses focus, a immediate sync could be forced - this way most syncs are not blocking the user. Only if the user continuously edits a note for more than 2*N minutes without switching to other programs... this would never happen for me. 3) Buffered editing and two layers :-P Ok, ok. Ignore this one. -- active tomboy note hangs (grayed out) frequently https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/599283 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
