Description Pierre-Yves Luyten 2014-07-29 09:01:49 UTC 
Currently, ownCloud is mounted as webdav and edited using gio. There are two drawbacks

- no offline mode
- while users of ownCloud sync client have their notes locally, still, bijiben does read/write on webdav folder. This is not free.


=> check for ownCloud sync client
=> if client is installed, check for this folder
=> use this folder rather than webdav.

Yup, that would probably be best at this point.

In the future, and if it’s decided that this makes sense, GNOME could have its own sync mechanism.

But for now I think it’s more important to get it to work offline – and most people using ownCloud will have the desktop client installed.

Btw, you’re welcome in our IRC channel #owncloud-dev on freenode. :)

=> lookup "localPath=" row on configuration file, & if file is found use this folder rather than webdav. Otherwise fallback to old way.



I still have to work for the uncommon case of someone having several accounts on goa. Also, this still needs the goa account to work, and I shall also fix this.
