RE: [BitPim-user] Feature Request

Joe,

Feature request 1 below is done, it is the auto synchronize feature I did a
few months ago. I'd like to commit it, but you had some issues with
architecture.
The changes are as follows.
1) Import dialog box has extra options for enabling vibration and alarms
2) The import dialog box is parameterized to allow it to be used by the auto
sync and the existing sync rather than having the code twice.
2) In the code there is a new class to handle "remembering" the import
settings, i.e. what calendar type, what filter setting etc., this is in a
new file, the import information is stored in the bitpim database.
4) There is a new menu option on the bitpim menu to access the feature, you
can schedule the update and manually run it with a single menu option.

What do you want to do about committing it to the project?

Simon
