Notes lock for synchronisation even when writing them
muelli opened this issue · comments
I have configured Tomboy to synchronise with snowy and Tomboy locks up for synchronisation every so often. This is annoying when I am typing a note, because the keystrokes are lost. It is particularly annoying when the network connection is slow, because the lock lasts for a relatively long time (like 10 seconds or so).
I would like to be able to take notes regardless of whether it is trying to synchronise.
I don't know anything about Tomboy, but I think that selectively syncing everything else but the note I am currently editing could be a possible way forward. Or not locking the interface up, i.e. take a snapshot of the to-be-synchronised state and use that for syncing while allowing the user to continue to type. Conflict resolution could then take the latest state as the local version.
muelli, I suspect its not the time it takes to sync the note you are working on but the time to do the overall sync. I don't think Tomboy is multithreaded (but I might be wrong) so, during a sync, the CPU Tomboy is running on is running flat out. I have not yet made tomboy-ng sync automatically for that same reason I am afraid.

I have the feeling that I don't experience the lock-ups when I am not connected.
