Sync with RTM duplicates todos

[Larry Petersen]

When I enter a todo in Astrid, then sync with RTM, then move the task to a different list in RTM, then sync again, I end up with two todos in Astrid.

I have seen this several times, but when I tried to do a test case to study it today it worked like it should. I don't know if this is something that has been fixed recently or if there is something I don't understand about what actually triggers it.

As far as I can tell, I am running the latest version. I have not seen a notice from Market that there is an update.

Larry,

This is a known issue. Basically, if you move a task to a different list
and then change its name, I will not pick up the change.

The problem is that RTM identifies tasks by list / task id pair, there
is no "global" identifier for a task. Thus, Astrid has to guess when a
task moves to a different list based on the name of the task, since the
id's change. Hope that helps, sorry for the inconvenience!

Tim,

Thanks for the response and explanation. It is a little bit frustrating,
but I understand.
