Hi Matthew, hi to all
Thank you very much for MobileOrg 0.8. It has improved very much since
the last update. Really good work.
I have a few questions.
1. Calendar Sync doesn't seem to work on my device. I chose one of my
GoogleCalendars to sync to. But the Test item I created didn't show
up in the stock calendar app, even after a while. Do I have to create
a new calendar to sync to? Or is it necessary to trigger syncing
somehow? On the other hand, if a GoogleCalendar is fine, will it sync
to the GoogleCalendar proper?
2. Is it now possible to edit org-files within MobileOrg, i.e. actually
use MobileOrg as an editor for papers in orgmode? In the past I had
occasions where edits were swallowed after syncing. Now, I added just
one sentence to an existing org-file in 0.8. It worked! So, is it
save to entrust long text-edits to MobileOrg?
3. Would it be possible (in the long run) to have TAGS as a pop-up to
choose from in the Capture feature? Just like TODO keywords?
Thanks again,
Sven

Hey Sven, glad you like it!
1. Calendar sync only looks at new items as they come in. So anything
that's on your device already will need to be rey-synced to pick up the
changes. The easiest way to do this is to use the "Clear Database" option
under the settings menu. After doing this you can re-sync your files and
it will re-process your SCHEDULE and DEADLINE items into the calendar.
2. The storage and edit handling aspect of MobileOrg has been completely
rewritten. It is now much safer to edit and capture files than in the
past. However, we still aren't editing files directly since org-mode in
emacs still wouldn't know how to handle it. Hopefully in the future that
will change, but for now at least... we've made it safer from the MobileOrg
side.
3. Absolutely... it's already a feature request:
https://github.com/matburt/mobileorg-android/issues/146 So hopefully we
can have that implemented in the near future.

Calendar items are only added when new content comes in, so if you are
having trouble with them not showing up you can try to clear your database
and re-sync. Afterwards we'll pick up any changes to your org files and
handle it automatically.

Yes, it's working now with the new update. It seems to work only for
scheduled items and deadlines. Wouldn't it be possible to have normal
appointments synced?

Hi Matthew

What is working is:
* TODO Wash clothes
SCHEDULED: <2012-02-08 Mi 19:00>
and
* TODO Prepare Paper
DEADLINE: <2012-02-08 Mi 20:00>
What seems not to work is:
* Lunch with Sheldon Cooper
<2012-02-08 Mi 12:00-13:00>
Is that supposed to work? I just tested it again. Calendar sync seems to
ignore appointments, i.e. dates without SCHEDULED or DEADLINE. I guess
that these strings are used as triggers for the Calendar sync mechanism.
Greetings,
Sven

What org mechanism do you use to put that date in there? We do key
specifically from those tags that you mentioned.

I use C-c . (org-time-stamp) to insert such time stamps into my
appts.org file. I assume Sven does the same.

Yes, that's right.
