The most efficient thing to do is to make two requests for the Notes resource: http://domain/api/1.0/sally/notes/ - Gets you all notes (without sending content). Since you're not creating notes in Tomdroid, any notes in your database that aren't in that list should be deleted from the database (if you are creating notes, look at SyncManager.cs in Tomboy to see the way we do it - you would need to store per-note last-sync-revision information). http://domain/api/1.0/sally/notes/?include_notes=true&since=455 - Gets you all new/updated notes (including content) since revision 455. This means you need to store the last sync revision returned from Snowy. Note that this number is always returned by the Notes resource (if you are authenticated).

You're right, it doesn't support that at the moment. I will handle that as soon as I get the note guid stored in the database. There's still one thing I didn't quite get about the remote note deletion. The examples of GET requests on http://domain/api/1.0/user/notes don't mention note deletion. Is that an omission or should I be able to infer the deleted notes from the response (in that case, I don't see how I could do that)?

I cannot think of a case where it would be useful and I'm really tempted to remove it. Would you accept a branch or a patch for this? I'd like to work a bit more on this before it gets merged. If I'm not mistaken, Tomboy and Snowy use the guid as an unique identifier for a note. I'd like to add this field in the database and make sure we use it everywhere we need to uniquely identify a note. This would be useful to implement remote note deletion as Sandy suggested. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~tomdroid-dev Post to : tomdroid-dev@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~tomdroid-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
Re: [Tomdroid-dev] Snowy synchronization branch
That's awesome! As far as the switch from note directory to the database goes, do you feel that your code has any regression? If not, i'll review that portion quickly then merge it and start looking at the editing problem. I'll try to have a full day of tomdroid hacking in the near future..

Please keep an eye on Snowy git, as in the next week or so I should be merging a patch that changes the API a bit (these changes are already documented on the wiki page). Out of curiosity, does your web-sync branch handle server-side deletes? I'm guessing not, since a quick grep in the source code indicates that you're not tracking the last sync revision. This also means that every time you sync, you are getting every single note on the server. You could save bandwidth by tracking the last sync revision, and only getting note updates since that revision (this would also allow you to process deletes if you wanted to). Looking forward to trying this out, Sandy ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~tomdroid-dev Post to : tomdroid-dev@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~tomdroid-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
