Re: [Evolution] Pilot synch

[Andrew Greig <algreig bigpond net au>]

Thanks Martin,

That has been my experience for some years now, too.  What I find
difficult to comprehend, is that in this whole open source thing, that
the gnome/evolution developers have not used the jpilot sync code,
because it works really well, every time. My problem is that in my
tiredness and frustration I screwed up in jpilot and did not choose
"restore handheld" but merely synchronised and my empty pilot blitzed my
desktop data in jpilot.  Now I need to get my data back from evo onto
the pilot.  It would be nice if there were a way to export the address
data from evo to jpilot, and then at least I could start using my pilot
again.
