ColdSync conduit to copy the AppInfo block (categories)

NAME

copy-appinfo - ColdSync conduit to copy the AppInfo block (categories)

SYNOPSIS

Add the following to your .coldsyncrc file:

        conduit sync {
                type: addr/DATA;
                type: memo/DATA;
                type: todo/DATA;
                ...
                path: <...>/copy-appinfo;
        }


        conduit sync {
                type: addr/DATA;
                type: memo/DATA;
                type: todo/DATA;
                ...
                path: [generic];
        }

(the "[generic]" block is so that the databases in question will be synced the normal way, in addition to having their AppInfo blocks copied.)

DESCRIPTION

The "copy-appinfo" conduit copies the AppInfo block (which contains information about categories and certain other application-specific data) from the Palm to the desktop.

Since ColdSync's generic conduit does not touch the AppInfo block at all, you need to use "copy-appinfo" or something like it to keep category data in sync.

Note that this conduit only implements Palm-overwrites-desktop. If you modify any categories in the desktop copy of a database, those changes will be lost.

BUGS

None known.
