tomboy.log with sync (5.74 KB, text/plain)

Description Greg Grossmeier 2008-09-20 19:04:51 UTC 
I left the Folder Path setting blank when setting up sshfs synchronization (as it said it was optional).

It appears that the folder it chose to use on the remote server was ~/0/ not ~/.tomboy/ as I expected it would be.  This means the Tomboy instance on the server (home computer) does not see the sync'd notes.

Default for Folder Path should assume the user has Tomboy installed on remote server.  Even if the user does not have Tomboy installed on remote server creating the ~/.tomboy/ directory would be an acceptable solution.  (Or, of course $XDG_DATA_HOME as per bug #518585)

tomboy.log with sync

The tomboy.log file for a sync via sshfs.

The sync folder you specify should be an existing (initially empty) directory on the server.  We should be more clear about this in our UI and help file.  Marking as a duplicate of bug #473329, because it's really the same issue.
