I will probably end up displaying (as you suggest) "From Google" and "To Google"...

I would prefer the arrows even though it not might be just as clear, but it would reduse the amount (and therefore errors) of translating if that is to be done some day.

Just my opinion.

Thank you very much for your work on Erminin-NG!!!
...it is much appreciated.

You can send the patch my way, either by mail (see first post), or by attaching it here.

Thanks for having looked up this issue for me: I will integrate the patch within the current "non-GUI" branch, to be later picked up by the GUI branch (which, by the way, is almost complete: all what remains to do is to interface the GUI with the core functionalities, and a few GUI remodeling, since I'm not entirely happy with the wizard functionality of hildon)

yes, I also prefer the arrows, but as you pointed out they are not really clear, unless I present the information this way (beware cheesy "ascii art" coming up!):

Code:

[N900] <-> G   (oogle logo)
[N900] <- G   (oogle logo)
[N900] -> G   (oogle logo)

any thought about this possibility?

That's perfect, especially considering that the local calendar is to the left of the arrow (put last update timestamp as last in line, and even better - replace "built-in" / "GPE" with the calendar names?).

Instead of Local and Remote in the headers I would use

N900 and Google

To minimize confusion (since some people may not know local or remote).

"N900" is the name of the default calendar in N900, so it might only add to the confusion. But you could put "Phone" and "Google" as headers (as long as this thingy doesn't support other sync partners).

Also, the "Type" column could be headerless and use icons for calendar and contacts, freeing some horizontal space.

I will put Device and Google. On the remote end I don't plan to support anything else than Google, but on the local end, it's supposed to also support the N800 with Diablo.

Also, the "Type" column could be headerless and use icons for calendar and contacts, freeing some horizontal space.

Yes, I was also thinking of using icons for the calendar and contact, since it's starting to get a bit cramped on each line

If I get the time I will put up a new screenshot of the main window, so that we can further discuss that.

Just to sum it up, the layout of the different column will be like this:

green/red dot, profile name, sync type (with cal/abook icon), source (built-in/GPE), name of local calendar, direction icon, name of remote calendar, last sync
