Subnird Options window in BirdieSync
Posted: Thu Apr 05, 2007 4:46 am
After installing BirdieSync according to directions, I try to access the BirdieSync options window from Sunbird.
Tools > BirdieSync Options
When I select the Miscellaneous tab, the Synchronization Period and timezone / time zone sections are not selectable. I can, however, change my time zone in the default Tools > Options window.
I find that every time I make any changes to the BirdieSync Options window, my timezone / time zone settings in the default Sunbird Options window changes as well.
Further, even though my time zone / timezone settings in the Sunbird Options window are correct (America/Edmonton), I'm getting the following error message in my BirdieSync log:
UTC 04/04/2007 22:30:36::0593 ERROR: Time zone are different on device (offset = -360) and desktop (offset = 0) (GetLastError = 0)
The UTC timestamp for this error message is not the true UTC time - it's actually Mountain time, 6 hours back from *true* UTC. My Windows Clock settings are set to Mountain time, and my Sunbird Options Window time zone is set to Mountain (America/Edmonton), but for some reason BirdieSync is reading my desktop offset as 0.
I believe it may be due to my inability to change the time zone / timezone in the Tools > BirdieSync Options window. Could this be the case? How can I fix it? Is there any way I can edit the preferences in the BirdieSync Options window without having to use the GUI?
