cmissync's Issues

CMIS folder not showing up in tray menu

Steps:

1. Install CmisSync
2. Add a CMIS folder
3. PROBLEM: In the tray menu, no item is shown
4. Add another CMIS folder
5. In the tray menu, both items are shown

Check new CmisSync release

Check whether there is a new CmisSync release

The Alfresco server (Community 4.0e) doesn't receives any request from the client. However the config file seems to be written properly as shown below:

Sync from desktop to CMIS server

When server down, tell the user

Right now, CmisSync complains in the log file, but most users probably do not read it.
Should show a UI notification or something instead. See how SparkleShare does this when a Git server is down.

compilation fails on Linux

I have tried to compil the latest git tree on my Debian wheezy.
It's shipped with mono 2.10.8.1 GNU make 3.8.1and autotools 2.69.
To compil I used the usual steps:

• ./autogen.sh
• make

autogen runs properly, but make throws:

If same server, reuse credentials

when a user creates two checkouts from the same server, pre-fill the username and password fields with saved values.

Use remoteFolder.GetFolderTree instead of recursion

Use remoteFolder.GetFolderTree instead of recursion, if it is more efficient in terms of bandwidth/latency.
It is probably also safer, for instance in cases where a remote directory is deleted while crawling.

See CMIS attributes desktop-side

Use "Change Log" CMIS capability if available on server

changelogs are very useful for syncing, but unfortunately they are not available on all CMIS servers.

getCapabilities can be used to find out.

Discussion at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12190247/most-efficient-way-to-detect-changes-of-a-remote-cmis-repository

DirectoryNotFoundException when deleting folder

1. Sync with a folder containing subfolders
2. Remove a subfolder
3. If CmisSync was precisely syncing inside, DirectoryNotFoundException happens

Dialog to select the repository/folder interactively

Right now user has to type:

• the CMIS URL
• the repository id
• the path inside the repository

We could just ask for the CMIS URL, then:

• connect and fetch the list of repositories
• ask the user to select among those repositories
• let the user browse inside the hierarchy of folders inside that repository, and choose the one they want

Crash on server timeout

CMIS timeout can arise anywhere at any time.
Should try/catch and log message.

Use own conf directory instead of ~/.config/sparkleshare

Otherwise one can not have both SparkleShare and CmisSync installed.

Tell the user how much data will be downloaded

If no info is given, users might select their whole company's folder, could be several terabytes.

So, when the user selects a folder for checkout, we should display something like:

"Size of the local copy will be 3.5TB. On an average Internet connection it will take 900 hours. Are you sure?"

File status icon in Nautilus

FIle status icon overlay does not show up in my Nautilus.
(it does not display with SparkleShare either)
Is there any trick to make it work?

Close SQLite connection at exit

User selected remote folder

Right now the whole repository is synced

FileSystemWatcher

SparkleWatcher implements FileSystemWatcher.

We should use it to efficiently detect local changes.

It does not replace local crawling, which we must be once at startup, to check which files have changed while CmisSync was not running.

Remove screen that asks for name and email

It might be needed for Git-centric environment, but not for CMIS, username should be sufficient.

Port to Android

Port CmisSync to Android.

Once again SparkleShare might be helpful: https://github.com/NewProggie/SparkleShare-Android

Crash when replacing directory with file with same name

Create a directory called "507" on CMIS server.
Sync.
Delete directory "507" and immediately create a file called "507".
Sync again.
Crash.

Slash in database name

If a sub-folder is chosen, the database name becomes something like "Sites/cmissync.s3db"
which fails to be created.

Possible solution: transform slashes to underscores

Replace copyrighted SparkleShare icon with CmisSync icon

Error handling at CMIS connection

Remove local files/folders when removed from server

Template for various CMIS servers in server addition dialog

SparkleShare has templates for Github/etc.
They are helpful to:

• Prevent typos
• Show what is supported

Similarly, we should have templates for various CMIS servers.

However, the left part should not become un-editable, as each user needs to change the server name.

Conflict: Dialog to ask which version should be kept

When a document has been modified on both local and server, a dialog should ask which version to keep.

Crash on Vista

Reported by Alex:

SparkleShare crashes just after launch, before even showing any wizard.
The tray icon appears briefly but disappears as soon as the mouse is hovered above.

remotePath not taken into account

1. Use "Add CMIS folder" wizard, configure for instance "daves" as the remotePath.
2. Complete the wizard.
3. CmisSync starts downloading everything, not just the content of "daves"

Copy third-party DLLs to /usr/lib/sparkleshare/

The build process should be modified so that DotCMIS.dll is automatically copied to /usr/lib/sparkleshare/ (or equivalents on Mac/Windows) when running make install or when installing a distributable.

The workaround right now is to manually run:

sudo cp SparkleLib/Cmis/lib/* /usr/lib/sparkleshare/

Crash at WebBrowser.NavigateToString

I have no idea why there even is a WebBrowser in the first place.

Sync from CMIS server to desktop

Windows installer: "Unknown publisher"

Investigate how to change "Unknown publisher" to something less dodgy.

Probably need to sign with a digital signature.

Encrypt local copy

Having many company files on your laptop can be risky.
Rather than using the laptop's file system directly, CmisSync should store files in an encrypted folder that the user would have to "mount" using a dedicated password.

Software like TrueCrypt could be used.
CryptSync seems simpler (but written in C++): http://code.google.com/p/cryptsync/source/browse/#svn%2Ftrunk%2Fsrc

Crash if wrong credentials

Steps:

• Install .NET 4.5 on a Windows 7
• Install CmisSync
• Launch CmisSync
• Complete setup wizard
• Complete folder addition wizard, enter wrong username/password
• CmisSync crashes, probably at the first connection.

URL is reset to alfresco URL

Steps:

1. Use wizard to set up for instance a FileNet URL
2. In config.xml the default Alfresco URL has been written.

Let the user choose the local root folder

RIght now the clone is done for instnce in C:\localRoot\cmis (6)

The user should be able to choose this local folder.

Path at end of folder addition wizard is wrong

At the end of the "Add CMIS folder" wizard, a button proposes to open the local path, but the path is wrong

First-time wizard's content is irrelevant

FIrst-time wizard should be modified to explain things about CmisSync, many included facts do not apply to CmisSync

Make package name a variable

Make package name a variable, that could be easily set to "SparkleShare", "CmisSync" or other.

Hylke has expressed interest in merging this feature if implemented.

Linux: Write in proper local directory

Right now C:\localRoot is hardcoded.

Make CmisSync and SparkleShare runnable independently

In the distributable, check that files installed by CmisSync do not overwrite files installed by SparkleShare.

Crash on Windows XP

Reported by Jay:
After it ran and synced against my FileNet (successfully by the way) it kept disappearing from the task panel after it went idle. I would restart it and it would go away a minute or two later.
It was an old bloated XP VM image that I installed it on though so I would not rule out the image being a bit unstable.

Edit CMIS attributes desktop-side

Windows installer: SparkleShare → CmisSync

The Windows installer says "Welcome to the SparkleShare Setup Wizard" and similar.

Modify "About" dialog
