Description
Jörg Thönnes
I have been synchronizing over mobile connections more frequently lately and have often missed better controls for synchronization. The suggested scoping to repositories/queries of the current working set seems like a good idea. Additionally I would like to be able to turn off sync on submit or open of tasks. This is not quite an offline mode as I would still like to be able to submit tasks but at times bandwidth is a scarce resource and I would like to have explicit control how it is used.

At least, it would be good if the query setting "Sync automatically" would be honoured. I would expect that these queries are skipped if "Sync changed" is triggered. Shall I file a bug for this?

Yes, tasks are automatically refreshed in the background on open. > > This is not quite an offline mode as I would still like to be able to > > submit tasks but at times bandwidth is a scarce resource and I would like to > > have explicit control how it is used. > > At least, it would be good if the query setting "Sync automatically" would be > honoured. > I would expect that these queries are skipped if "Sync changed" is triggered. > Shall I file a bug for this?

OK, if you are running out of time for 3.6, then you probably split off a separate bug this request since I guess it is easier to implement as a first improvement. Another related requirement is for hidden queries not to be synced when invoking the sync action on the task list. The feature I am using creates hidden queries, but I will have my own queries catching those tasks as well (I assume whatever creates hidden queries has exactly that use case in mind: hidden, because user will have it's own queries anyway). Sync Action syncs those as well, which is redundant (as whatever feature needs the hidden query will most likely manage it itself) Any progress here? I am using 9 Workings Sets on the trim and would prefer to only update the current one. Mylyn has been restructured, and our issue tracking has moved to GitHub [1]. We are closing ~14K Bugzilla issues to give the new team a fresh start. If you feel that this issue is still relevant, please create a new one on GitHub. [1] https://github.com/orgs/eclipse-mylyn |
