We use 1.0, 1.1, 1.2: $ syncevolution --sync-property SyncMLVersion=? '--sync-property SyncMLVersion=?' On a client, the latest commonly supported SyncML version is used when contacting a server. one of '1.0/1.1/1.2' can be used to pick a specific version explicitly. On a server, this option controls what kind of Server Alerted Notification is sent to the client to start a synchronization. By default, first the format from 1.2 is tried, then in case of failure, the older one from 1.1. 1.2/1.1 can be choosen explictely which disables the automatism The easiest way to do this is via the command line: syncevolution --configure --sync-property SyncMLVersion=1.1 <config name> If you absolutely need to edit files, then it goes either into ~/.config/syncevolution/<config name>/config.ini (old style layout) or ~/.config/syncevolution/peers/<config name>/config.ini (new style). What is used depends on who created the config. -- Best Regards, Patrick Ohly The content of this message is my personal opinion only and although I am an employee of Intel, the statements I make here in no way represent Intel's position on the issue, nor am I authorized to speak on behalf of Intel on this matter.
