Re: [Opensync-users] question: backing up non-PIM data from my Mio

[Danny B. <dan...@sc...>]

Hmm, I don't understand the 2 groups issue fully.

Some other plugins (e.g. evolution2) have multiple parts in their
configuration, for addresses, calendar entries, and tasks.

Are you saying it is not workable to extend MirKuZ's SynCE plugin,
with those three but also a fourth entry (one in which we say which
directory a computer should synchronize the filesystem of my PDA) ?

Or is this because most plugins have address/calendar/tasks triplets
and it would make configuration easier if filesystem were separate ?

Thanks,

	Danny
