If I use the sync media tool, and then delete one of the pictures from dropbox what happens?

What happens if I delete a picture from my phone and then sync?

This is totally one way upload feature. I will not delete any files in the device or in dropbox.

• If you delete media from device: it is just not synced next time as its not there. The file will remain in dropbox if you dont go yourself to delete it.
• If you delete media from dropbox: next time you sync it sees that this file is missing (assuming its still in the device) and it will upload it again.

I am not planning to make this any smarter. This is a simple publish thing that will keep all your media in dropbox. Youll have to manually remove pictures from the phone if you remove them from dropbox AND want it not to push them again.

Thank you for the latest, nice update.

OK seems like the feature is somewhat working, don't see huge pile of complaints here after one day at least. Now its time for you to start making feature requests. One thing is for sure that I'm going to update the whole main treeview to something more practical for a touch screen device. Other than that please let me know what you would like to see, try to think of something that would benefit alot of people not just your special use cases. Gimme some ideas.

Start ranting! At Meego conference I also did some thinking that I would like to rewrite this app in C++. I like C++ as its my main work language. There are mainly two things I need to look into, proper and working oauth lib in c++ and then I will need to rewrite the dropbox provided library that actually makes all the api calls for me and does the really low level stuff. I think implementing this in my app would not be a huge write at the end. I will have to look into the oauth thing and if its really needed for the secure login that im doing, meaning I dont need to open a web browser for real oauth login. I can just ask you your password and directly auth to dropbox. This I would need to look further if it really even needs a oauth lib. Also how to package c++ apps is another thing I dont have much knowledge. I have made .deb:s before so maybe not a huge thing after all. End of stupid rant

I saw you earlier noting that something was not working. I hope this update fixed some problems for you. Let me know if something is still broken and i'll take a look.

I actually like the treeview, I have lots of stuff in DropBox, so it's good to see the folder structure all the time.

Thanks for the great update!

Feature request: Ability to copy/move files between Dropbox folders.

Also, noticed that with latest build, the Sync Path button under Settings doesn't show any text at all.

Yeah this is a known bug as mentioned as the last bulleting point in the 0.1.8 release notes:

NOTE: Settings Sync Path selection button paint bug is known. Most likely wont show anything so you have trust what you insert in the popup when you press it. I guess QMaemo5ValueButton got twisted in PR 1.3, custom style sheets does not seem to do anything for this subclass of QPushButton.

I hope people can cope with this, I tried to fix it for 30 mins with no effect. Then I just pushed the release as it was almost 5 o'clock in the morning

dropn900-0.1.9-1 now available as a download/update!

• Ui now using official dropbox provided icon set (https://www.dropbox.com/static/image...-api-icons.zip)
• Icon caching for improved performance

Just spotted the icon pack in the dropbox developer site and coded it in real quick. I'm not sure how much that icon cache will improve performance, I'd think at least memory consumption will be smaller. Then again even if i dont always make a new QIcon im not sure how Qt handles it internally when, I'm pretty sure it shares the same memory when painting so it should be all good!

Keep em feature requests coming, I'm not sure what to work on next

Feature Request:
What i want to do is to automate the syncing, say everyday at 00:00. So either this can be made as a feature in the app itself or you could make the app syncable via command line (so that I can use alarmed, etc to sync it). So something like 'python dropbox.py -sync' should download/upload all changes.

How about to provide an interface to let user to choose the operation like Unison?



Unison is a File Synchronizer , when a change is encountered (e.g a file is added on one side). By default , it will add the new file to another side like Dropbox. However, its dialog allow user to change the operation. User may do a reversed operation to remove the new file, or ignore the changes if they are not sure should it do it.
