Hi again
I just checked phone side and the status "started, not started' etc all follow through perfectly well, so it just seems to be an issue with the trigger received from the mac not changing status in the correct place.

BTW, print task list is still broken in v.22, though I don't think it was mentioned in the bug fixes so no surprise really

Thanks
Al

Hi Allan
I only spotted v.22 thanks to your e-mail, just updated and the issue seems to have gone away.
Going back to syncing issues, which are improving btw, here is one anomoly I've just noticed. If you un-complete an item on the mac it now drops the tick or check mark on the phone, but the legend underneath the task title on the phone still shows as completed. If you navigate through to 'Inspect Task' on the phone however then it shows as 'Not Started' so either end of the status is correct, but the in between bit is still showing incorrectly. I hope this description makes sense!
Thanks
Al

Smart groups showing duplicates. (ie double "All", "Today")...

If anyone is having this issue please report it here. Also if you check under "Options->Smart Groups" and see double listings of the same smart group, you can delete/rearrange/edit them within this settings pane.

A comment on the question "Group title?" in Thinking Code Software Inc.:

Hi Allan, not quite the same thing as being discussed here, but has anyone else reported that the 'All', 'Todays' etc smart group links are seriously messed up? I have got 3 'All' mixed up between my 'Todays' and 'More' links, and when I click the 'More' link for the menu there are many duplicated items again. Sorry to threadjack but it is sort of related to interface issues mac-side – Al, on October 11, 2008 16:53

Ouch. This does not fix the problem for me. I did exactly both of the above directions and even re-imported all of my todos in iCal and it did put some of them into Dejumble on my iPhone but then the next time I loaded Dejumble (on my phone) there was nothing there except one. And it then duplicated one of the ones on my mac and synced one on to my phone that now isn't on my mac but is still on my phone. Weird!!!

Dejumble.com server update and fixing your synched libraries.

We have updated the server, with the updates the following steps can help resolve issues some users are having with synchronization. If you have are having only some of your tasks/groups stay synchronized, this should fix the issue.

If you have tasks/groups on your Mac that are not synchronizing with your iPhone, you will need to force a resync of all tasks. Currently this can be done as follows.
1) Quit Dejumble for Mac.
2) Remove the file "com.thinkingcode.Dejumble.plist" located in your HomeFolder/Library/Preferences. Do not remove your task library.
3) Relaunch Dejumble.

Likewise, if you have iPhone tasks/groups that are not showing up on your mac(s), The following will help solve this issue.
1) Remove the password from Dejumble's account details in the iPhone Settings app.
2) Launch Dejumble. (The iPhone will report that authorization has failed).
3) Quit Dejumble then enter your password again.

Now upon relaunch, Dejumble for iPhone will re sync all tasks.

What Ian said....

I've never had any sort of reliable sync.
I've had (occasionally) a successful sync of Groups (no tasks) from desktop to iPhone but have never had any tasks sync in that direction.
Conversely I've had the (very) occasional successful sync of taks from iPhone to desktop.
I'm sincerely hoping that the cause identified above will solve all my problems.
Please let us know when it has been implemented so that I can check if my problems are solved.

For me, the syncing is improved, but it is not yet 100%. Some groups from iPhone have not appeared in the desktop version. Also, a random number of tasks over different groups, are not syncing. There doesn't seem to be any correlation between when I created the task, when it is due, priority, etc... most appear on the desktop, but some don't.

I'm using the 1.2.1 iPhone version (I think, even though it says 1.2.0) and the beta21 desktop version.

This probably explains why my almost perfect syncing earlier today has gone pretty pear shaped as the day has progressed!
I'll try again tomorrow and see if things have settled down again

Any new status on the desktop sync issues relating to needing a quit / relaunch to force it to sync back to Dejumble ? I was not able to ever get a few of my groups I had created on Dejumble in the last week to ever sync back over to any of my other macs or iphone. I removed all of the groups and started from scratch. now I am at least able to get them to sync but have to quit/relaunch 99% of the time.

Intermittent sync server outages throughout the day.

We are actively developing and improving the sync server. Please understand that this is still a beta service and we are doing everything possible to get it production ready as soon as possible.

Changes to expect shortly.
- Online website access to reset password, delete account and view basic account info
- Improved sync speed.
- Many bug fixes.

As we roll out updates you may see intermittent server outages. The outages will not effect the usage of Dejumble. In some situations Dejumble for Mac may need to be relaunched to re initiate sync. Other effects may include getting Authorization failed messages from Dejumble for Mac or iPhone. If you get these messages do not signup again. Simply re-enter your password in the sign in/account details section on mac/iphone...

@Allan

Cool, I'll report back when I've given it a try.

Thanks

Yes, the info window is not showing the correct update. If you go through the update process, it will be update-to-date dispute incorrectly reporting that under the "i" screen.

@Al, I have rolled out another server update. This may resolve the Mac->iPhone completion problem.

I am re-posting my other Topic here, this is something for people to check if they are having syncing issue, though it could just be me who did not notice the option.

I thought I would share my own stupidity in order to save others the frustration of learning it on their own.
If you are not seeing any of your tasked being synced to your iPhone make sure that in Options> Groups you have “Synchronize with dejumble.com” selected for the task group you would like to sync. Once I did this everything seems to be working now.

Excellent!!! I probably should have posted more info on this feature.
