[coldsync-hackers] Categories in conduits

[Marco van Beek <marco at 84andahalf dot com>]

Hi All,

I have added some code in one of my conduits to synchronise (fetch, dump 
actually) an application's categories (in this case Memo), and it would 
appear that I can write to the PDB file during the fetch phase (using 
both addCategory and renameCategory), and those changes are there in the 
dump phase. They are still there on the next cycle.

However, this data is not being send down to the palm. Running 
./conduit-name -config seems to infer that not only should I have a type 
of memo/DATA, but also */*, which seems very dangerous to me, so I tried 
it...

Yanking my Palm away from the cradle at some speed, my suspicions were 
confirmed. It seemed to be deleting and adding records all over the place.

The only conduit I can find is in CVS (std-categories), and that would 
seem to infer that I have to mark the category record as dirty (as you 
would with a standard data record).

If this is the case, is it just a matter of something like:

my @categories = @{$PDB->{appinfo}{categories}};
foreach my $category_row ( @$ssis_categories )
	{
	...
	code that changes $category_row->{name}
	...
	$category_row->{attributes}{dirty} = 1;
	}

Any help gratefully accepted,

Thanks,

Marco.
