http://bugzilla.moblin.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10408 Summary: sync-ui: use class of devices Classification: Moblin Projects Product: SyncEvolution Version: upstream Platform: Netbook OS/Version: Moblin Linux Status: ASSIGNED Severity: normal Priority: P1 Component: *Feature Request AssignedTo: jku(a)linux.intel.com ReportedBy: patrick.ohly(a)intel.com CC: patrick.ohly(a)intel.com, syncevolution(a)lists.intel.com Depends on: 10406 ------------------------------------------------------------- First, each template is meant to represent a certain class of devices with the same settings (but see below for the current status). If there is a name for that class that can be presented to users (think "Nokia S40"), it is added to the template's meta data (template.ini) as "templateName". This is optional. There might be templates which only match one specific model or where the class is so obscure that showing it is useless. Second, we need to find better ways of determining the exact manufacturer and model (bug #10380). Right now, we only have the device name chosen by the user, which may or may not contain the model. If (and only if) the exact model can be determined, it will be added to the templates returned via D-Bus as the new "modelName" property ("Nokia 7210c"). Third, "fingerPrint" in the template meta data is a list of "Manufacturer Model" strings. This is what the exact model name (if available) or the device name (fallback) are matched against by the D-Bus server to rank templates. -------------------------------------------------------------- This issue is about using the "templateName" information in the sync-ui. Right now, it uses the first entry in the fingerPrint list to represent the template. For the S40 template, we currently have "fingerPrint = Nokia 7210c,Nokia". If we added "templateName = Nokia S40", we would be able to say "We think your device is a 'Nokia S40'" for other Nokia phones. Right now, we end up with "is a 'Nokia 7210c'". Jussi, does the sync-ui always say "We think your device is...", even if the match is bad? Can you summarize the expected behavior in different cases here, so that QA can verify this issue? -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.moblin.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching someone on the CC list of the bug.
