Google task sync bug

Post by mbzadeh »

Hi

In google tasks, the only mechanism to assign priorities to tasks is their orders of apprarence in the task list. But this order is not maintained in synchronizing with EPIM.

I would not say order of appearance in Google is the priority. For example, are highest on top or bottom? Would all users think the same?

The order of tasks in google tasks can be changed by "move down" or "move up" in "actions" menu. One can use this order for any means, and I think that for most users this is used to prioritize taks, because there is no other mechanism to set priorities to task in google tasks (see for example here: http://bolinfest.com/tasks/tips.html).

But this order (used for any means) is not preserved in syncing with EPIM.

Cannot reproduce this issue as the order is being preserved on our side. What's your EPIM version? Please try to sync with a new database, will there be any difference?

Simply:

1) Create a list of tasks in google tasks and then sync with EPIM. Your tasks will appear in EPIM.
2) Change the order of tasks in google tasks.
3) Sync again with EPIM. You will see that the orders of tasks do not change in EPIM.

I tried also with a new database file. I tried both versions 5.03 and 5.56 (both were portable versions).
