Title: Library Server - Store changes until sync'ed
Post by: Marty3d on February 25, 2010, 06:48:59 am

Hi!

My client just crashed and all changes I made during the day are gone, so here's a request:
Would it be possible/easy to implement some sort of intermediate storing of changes made by the client? For example, if you make changes on the client, store these in a file as soon as they are made, and when you are syncing to the server, remove them from the list. This way, if we forget to sync or your MC crashes, the changes aren't gone, but saved for later.

I would REALLY appreciate this (well, I'd appreciate automatic syncing more, but I stopped waiting).

Thanks!
/Martin

I'd second this request  BIG TIME!!

I've lost work several times in the last week when MC crashed before I could do a sync, or when trying to do a sync!

Although sometimes it's useful to be able to close the MC client and drop all the changes that went wrong when the LS ip address gets into the path or when doing some testing! 

So maybe a prompt when exiting the client "Library has not been sync'd do you wish to discard changes? Yes/No".

Or a way to email the changes.

My work computer will connect to home to stream as a LS client, but info being sent back towards home gets stripped out by the company network. My "plays" and "ratings" data is so out of date I'd might as well be listening to CDs again.

Guys, I'm interested in doing this but I'm out of the loop. Once done making changes, how do I sync them back to the Master?

thanks
