Mobile.org & UTF-8

Mobile.org & UTF-8

[Henri-Paul Indiogine]

I am running the latest git org-mode on Emacs 24 in Ubuntu.  I also have
an iPod with the latest version of MobileOrg, 1.5.1.

I also use Dropbox.

Just today I reinstalled everything on my iPod because I had
problems synchronizing.  For some reason Dropbox stopped the
synchronization.  I unlinked and then linked again to make it all work.

Now I obtain the error: "Unable to detect file encoding, please re-save
this file using UTF-8."

I did some Googling and it appears that the problem was solved in the
latest version of MobileOrg.

I have not changed anything in my .emacs file and have never specified
any encoding and before this evening I did not have any problems with MobileOrg.


Thanks,
Henri-Paul

Hi Henri-Paul
I ran into a similar problem when I moved from using MobileMe to
Dropbox. What I did that seemed to fix the problem for me was to delete
the folder "MobileOrg" from my Dropbox folder. Then I reset the stuff in
Mobileorg on my iPhone, re-sync'ed the iPhone to create a new MobileOrg
folder in your Dropbox folder and then it worked. It seems to work fine
now.

OK, I can delete the Dropbox folder.  However, what do you mean with
"reset the stuff in MobileOrg on my iPhone"?

Do you delete the app and then install a fresh one? And then sync with org-mode?

Thanks,
Henri-Paul
