Sync problem

PEhnsio · 01-23-2006, 12:22 PM

Hi there,
Just started to test Sunrise XP and installed alpha 2 as a first try on my WinXP PC to sync to my Palm TX.
Everything works fine, except one little anoying thing - the sync doesn't go through without an error message looking like this:

Sunrise XP: could not open HotSync configuration file.
OK Sunrise XP with 1 message(s)

When I started to look into it I recognize the problem to be connected to my Hot Sync identity that contains a Swedish national character (ö). Because of that Sunrise have created it's own entry in the Palm file structure on my PC where the Hot Sync name looks like "Ehnsi￶*P" where the splat shows as a square box in my system. It should have been "EhnsiöP".

Since this have happened sometimes before with other applications I made copy of the content of the folder created by Sunrise to the "real" one and had the sync working. Still with a message but I at least got the content over to my handheld.
From the properties dialog in Sunrise it looks ok when browsing for my Hot Sync user, but the writing to the file system doesn't seems to work.
Today I tried the same with Alpha 3 but the result is the same.
Any suggestions?

I'm pretty sure what the issue is here. Will fix.

Looking forward to next Alpha version then!

Thanks in advance!

Tested and fixed. Reproduced the error here and it now works correctly in the upcoming alpha 3a release.
