You can sync with your mobile phone as well. Everything is explained in more details below. NOTE: If you do not use profile kind "Pi-Sync", it is recommended to close -a running KO/Pi ( or KA/Pi) on the remote device. -(Note: KO/Pi( or KA/Pi) running on Zaurus with +a running KO/Pi (KA/Pi, PWM/Pi) on the remote device. +(Note: KO/Pi(KA/Pi, PWM/Pi) running on Zaurus with FastLoad enabled will never be closed!) After syncing with a running KO/Pi on the remote device, a "save" on the remote device will tell you that it needs to merge (sync). After merging (just a syncing with the changed file) you will get the new data showing in remote KO/Pi. ************************************************************************* 1) Qick overview of settings ************************************************************************* a) Open sync settings dialog (Menu Synchronize - Configure...) b) Give your device a unique name. (unique in the set of all devices you want to sync with). If you have already configured another devive and created there a sync profile to sync with this device, give your device the same name as this sync profile! The same name is important, because it makes it possible to sync first A->B (A local device, that performs the sync, B remote device) and then B->A. Such that the B->A sync knows about the already performed A->B sync. That means: It is unimportant if you sync A->B or B->A, the devices A and B will be synced properly. c) Create a new sync profile and give it a unique name. (unique in the set of all sync profiles on this device). If you want to sync with a device, where KO/Pi is already installed and which has a given unique device name, use this device name as your profile name ( refer to b) ). d) Coose the profile kind of your syncing method: (i) Local file or (ii) Pi-Sync or (iii) Remote file or (iiii) Mobile Phone. Detailed explanation in 5) e) Choose the other profile options. Detailed explanation in 2) f) Close sync dialog with OK. g) Sync. NOTE: AFTER SYNCING THERE ARE "SYNC EVENTS" CREATED (OR UPDATED, IF IT ALREADY EXITS) FOR EACH SYNC PROFILE. YOU MAY NOT DELETE OR CHANGE THESE EVENTS. ************************************************************************* 2) Sync settings in sync dialog ************************************************************************* a) Local device name: -> 1) b) b) Profile: -> 1) c) c) Include in multiple sync: In the Synchronize menu, there is a multiple sync menu entry. If you choose this menu entry, all user defined profiles with this 'Include in multiple sync' option enabled will be synced one after another. And this twice. This will take some time. After that sync, on all devices should be the same data. d) Ask for preferences before sync: Check this to be asked for sync preferences settings before each sync. If the profile kind is "Pi-Sync" you will be asked to confirm the "Pi-Sync" specific settings (Password,IP address, port number) as well. That makes it possible to use that profile for a device that is connected via DHCP to the network and gets different IP addresses when connection to the network. |
