Re: [coldsync-hackers] Hotsync proxy to coldsync ...

[Jeff Rush <jrush@taupro.com>]

What do you need?  Just a GUI way to monitor/initiate a hotsync
or are you looking for a complete set of GUI PIMs already
interfaced to coldsync?  The latter would be a big project but
the former is actually pretty easy.  All you really need is
a wrapper around your conduits that (a) tells some listener
which conduit is starting/stopped and (b) tells some listener
how far thru the data transfer is has reached.  Since conduits
run as separate processes and talk to coldsync via pipes, the
wrapper just wraps the pipes and counts bytes passing by.

A listener could be autostarted by the first conduit, causing
a window to popup on your desktop upon sync, or trigged from
inetd by a write by the conduit to a well-known-socket.

No changes to coldsync are needed.
