Can you be more specific about what you expect from Jussi? Help with the
bluetooth-panel GUI and/or sync-ui modifications? That would be okay as far as
I am concerned, but for the panel<->syncevo-dbus-server interaction I suggest
that you work on that together with Yongsheng.
Yes, that's what I was meant.

This sounds really simple. I agree, we should do this instead of forcing the
plugin to update the syncevo-dbus-server. I thought it would be harder.
Note that we cannot rely on a UUID. We can only use the MAC address for
matching at this level.
I think we just use UUID to filter against the paired
devices to list only
SyncML capable ones.
What do you mean here by matching against macaddress? For templates matching,
we can only use "device name" as a first guess and let user later provide input
if the match did not work well.
Shall we query against syncevo-dbus-server for templates for all paired SyncML
devices every time even if user never cares about that device? I think this is
what we can do without api changes.
A better solutions looks like:
getConfigs (true) --Got a list of device peers (via Bluez) and a list of
templates for SyncEvolution clients (Scheduleworld, Funambol, ..
SynceEvolution).
getTemplate (HashTable keys) -- Got a list of templates matching against the
specified keys (possible values are: Device Model/Name, Device Manufacture),
return a list of templates sorted by score. Another "select templates" page
would be added in sync-ui. This page is also where bluetooth-panel will lead
user to after the pairing process.
getConfig (true) --Got the contents for the specified template.
Do I understand correctly?
