Hi.

Ahhhhh.  I was wondering if someone else would have this problem.  I am the
guilty one that compiled the binary at www.mctubster.com/syncit

Out of three computers, one of them behaved the same as yours below.  The
patch (looking at the code) appears to only work if it doesn't find the
registry.dat (for earlier versions of the browser) file located in your home
application data dir for phoenix, eg c:\documents and
settings\LOGON_NAME\application data\phoenix\registry.dat (path from mem)

Unfortunately I have never programmed C before, but I will hijack one of the
devs here to see if he can show me how to debug the code properly today,
because I fear my interpretation of the code is incorrect.

You could try removing this phoenix dir (move it sideways).  You can tell if
the code is working if it creates an xml file with firefox in the name

Let us know how it goes!

Best
Steve

Subject: [BMSYNC-USERS] Syncing Firefox 0.9.3

Hi,

I'm running the latest stable source on my server (yellowdog 3) & have been
running the latest stable client with IE6 (winXP SP1, recently SP2) and
firefox 0.8 with no problems.  I noticed in one of the bug reports that
someone had compiled a patched version of the 0.6.4 client to work with
firefox 0.9.3 (http://www.mctubster.com/syncit), so I thought I would give
this a go.  I grabbed the latest firefox & installed it into the same
directory as 0.8 was in, telling it to import all settings from 0.8 when it
asked me to.  I then ran the patched syncit client, however it doesn't seem
to be communicating with firefox.  Bookmarks added in IE are uploaded to the
server correctly, but are not downloaded into firefox, and bookmarks added
in firefox are not uploaded.  I am running the syncs manually, when neither
browser is running.

Looking in the syncit directory, when I run a sync with the patched client
the files ending .ie.xml, .sub.xml and .xml are updated but .mozilla.xml and
.phoenix.xml are not.  If I run the original (stable) client, all 5 files
are updated.  What have I not done - do I need to clear our firefox & start
again, or clear out the client & start again?

Thanks for any advice :)
