When a sync conflict happens, please tell users which record(s) were affected

Opened this issue · 0 comments

During a HotSync operation, I saw this message: "Sync Conflict: a CalendarDB-PDat record must be manually merged". After the sync was done, I poked around briefly, but I'm still not sure which record(s) were affected.

It would be more helpful if you could please instead offer a more detailed message, similar to what Palm Desktop for Windows offers:
"This record was modified on both the handheld and the desktop:
"Dental cleaning, 2010-May-12, 7:00 am.
"Both versions of this record were copied to both the handheld and the desktop. Delete the unwanted record, then sync again."

For very long records, you could display just the first 60 to 80 characters of the record.

I'm using J-Pilot 2.0.1.
