Informing user when sync has conflicts
Posted: Sun Nov 08, 2015 4:40 am
I came across this situation when a sync between my Thunderbird Calendar and my iPhone resulted in a conflict.
[/list][*]I had originally created an appointment and sync'd between the 2 devices.
[*]At a later date, I changed the date of the appointment on the iPhone calendar.
[*]When I started the sync from the iPhone BirdieSync app, I was watching the status line and it indicated that the sync was successful.
[*]At a later time I was looking at my Thunderbird Calendar for an unrelated reason, and I noticed that the appointment had not changed date.
[*]That is when I looked at the BirdieSync status window and realized there had been a conflict.
[*]I was able to resolve the conflict easily[/list]
I was surprised that the iPhone app's status did not alert me to the existence of a conflict. Very often I do not operate with the BirdieSync window open. When doing a sync from the iPhone, I watch the status for any issues.
Please investigate whether a conflict warning should have occurred.
