*Re: **Issue 153 is marked as having 'Low' priority. As there are a number of older issues that have 'Medium' priority, so I wouldn't be holding my breath to see this issue fixed.* * * Issue 2375 is definitely the same issue and has a Medium priority. I'm sure there are others that could be merged with those two as well.
*Re: I would think that your software could work around this by making a change is some other field so that the changes would be propagated to other clients.* * * This is exactly the workaround we have already implemented for THIS part of the issue. *Re: **If you are concerned about detecting changes made by **other clients, you could poll the upcoming events for the next day or **week to determine the reminder times. These workarounds are probably **why this is considered 'Low' priority.* * * This part of the workaround has these problems: 1) Because reminders are arbitrary amounts of time before their respective appointments (possibly days or weeks), we would have to retrieve ALL future appointments from Google during each poll -- not just those for the next day or week. This would result in a lot of unnecessary processing time, network bandwidth, Google server processing, etc. since most appointments would not actually have been updated since the last sync. 2) The polling interval would have to be quite short which would exasperate all of the problems in #1 above. For example, at 9:15 AM a user adds a 10:00 AM reminder on the same day to an existing appointment on their mobile phone. If we poll less often than every 45 minutes, the reminder would not be set in our software in time. The reminder may not even be intended for the user on the phone, but one or more colleagues back at their office. If they do not receive the reminder, that's not good. This issue has been around for 4 years. It is easy to fix. When a reminder is added, updated, or deleted, change the appointments updated time and eTag. How hard is that? I think it is past time to fix this issue. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Calendar Data API" group.
