It was very nice that many people were insterested in the Tablet-Suite application. As I told in the previous post, we are already working in a synchronization tool for maemo called “Synchro”. I decided to show the designed UI here so people could become interested as well. Some alpha version is intended to be released still this year. Comments, suggestions and feature requests are really welcome.
Synchro
The features planned here are:
- Manage PC media (playlists, musics, images and videos)
- Manage device media
- Synchronize media
- Play PC and device media
- Temporary list for instant playback
- Several views
Garage project and mailing lists have been created:
Much needed, nice
But won’t media-syncing be just a plug-in in my favorite music manager?
Like Amarok or Banshee?
What would imho be more needed is contact syncronisation.
What do you think?
Sure, we discussed this a lot, and plugins for amarok and banshee will be done as well. The Synchro app will know how to use your library from other applications to synchronize as well. The decision to have a full app is more related to the university, as it is intended to teach students to program with python and qt with a more complicated project, including a lot of challenges to them, like media player, stylesheets, bigger architecture, etc. and as a result, it will deliver an application with better UI than other ones. But your comment is appropriate. I also think we need to deliver plugins for Amarok or Banshee, since our goal is not a new application on its on. Our goal is maemo synchronization.
As I requested earlier, a way for synchronization apps like Conduit (Gnome) to hook in. That way, if e.g Conduit has synchronization from/to media players, email clients working, hooking into Synchro could make synchronization between all these work.
My limited knowledge would suggest an interface through dbus, or something similar.
[...] interesse em programas de sincronização entre desktops e Maemo 5 leva ao aparecimento público do Synchro; a promessa é de ter um alpha ainda esse [...]
At the moment I have palm Centro which I synchronizes with palmDesktop (calendar, contacts, memoes, tasks). palmDesktop can also be used as a stand alone app and is really very good.
Next I will buy a Nokia N900 and I’m looking for a sync tool (not PC Suite with Outlook) which runs on Win XP or Win7. Could you please tell me if there is something like this existing or planed???
Thanks for answering
