Hamster Sync do not work properly

[Felipe Duarte]

There is not a transparent transaction between the applications, in Hamster the new task appear as "other", the tags are not migrated as well, and the descriptions nether, this utility is very useful, but, actually I do prefer to re-write the task in Hamster in order to have the results that I'm waiting. I hope you could solve this issue...

Another topic that I think could be useful is to implement the Category functionality as is used in Hamster, it is interesting to have the combination of permanent tags and categories to control and organize your tasks and to-do lists...

I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 (lucid) 64 bits kernell (2.6.32-27-generic)

gtg -d relevant output (this was the lines that were shown during the Hamster sync):

Sorry about my spanglish.

Hi Felipe,

sorry for the late answer. How the task is transmitted into Hamster depends on your settings. Which settings of hamster plugin do you use? Could you remember steps to reproduce this bug? Additional info would be appreciated!

I fixed this problem.
Turned out that Project Hamster changed format of D-Bus message. Instead of separate parameters for task, category, description and tags, now it uses everything in universal hamsters' fact format: "task@category, descriptions #tag1 #tag2 ..."
Will commit and push my changes in a few hours.

Yep, this functional is already there. With properly working D-Buses you can do a lot. Modify the parameters of the plugin.
