[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 784320] Re: Random old notes have last modified date as "today" after Ubuntu One sync, spurious sync conflicts

[Kamal Mostafa]

I experience this problem (random notes all suddenly bear a last update
time of "now") even long after syncing "between" two machines.  My
scenario:

I normally use machine A exclusively, and create lots of tomboy notes using it.  I do not enable "automatic sync".
When I'm about to go on a week long trip where I will take my machine B laptop, I manually sync my notes from machine A to Ubuntu One, then I manually sync on machine B to bring all my notes in (but I leave "automatic sync" disabled on B also).
While I'm on the trip (using machine B exclusively) I create more notes, and I sync to Ubuntu One once or twice per day to make sure my notes are getting archived.
I never see any errors or warnings from the sync, and it often works perfectly.
But after the sync, I sometimes I find that a random set of my very old notes all now show a "Last Changed" time of right now.
This happens to a random set of ten to twenty of my total 200 or so notes.
The notes that get get the problem don't seem to have anything in common -- they were all created months apart -- the affected notes do *not* all link to a note that has been updated -- some of the affected notes don't link to anything.

Title:
  Random old notes have last modified date as "today" after Ubuntu One
  sync, spurious sync conflicts

Status in “tomboy” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: tomboy

  If I sync a completely new computer to my Tomboy notes, I find about
  20-30 or so that have last modified date set to today.  In truth I
  probably haven't edited them in over a year.

  These same notes also seem to lead to sync conflicts when I try to use
  other computers and then come back.
