Background Sync Enhancements

[TheScientist]

I have a partially working background task version of the file sync: https://github.com/TheScientist/windows-universal/tree/%2310_background I'll track the todos here.

Version 1.2.0:

• [ ] SyncTask gets cancelled regularely with errorCode 0x80010008
• [ ] Refactoring of duplicate ClientService
• [ ] EventListener for better PushNotifications (notification per file)
• [ ] KeepAsIs ConflictSolution
• [ ] Handle Progress and Cancel in Background Task
• [ ] Settings for timetrigger + notifications
• [ ] Use built in sqlite (see #117)

Future versions

• [ ] Better Sync Algorithm (per Sync framework)to be able to delta sync

[DecaTec]

The background task will be outproc, right?

[TheScientist]

Yes, we need to move some of the classes into a class library, to make them usable by the bg task. The branch has a partially working version. Sync starts but gets canceled sometimes.

Looking at the code from the new owncloud client, I found 2 interesting things:

• they query a windows search index to look for locally changed files
• they compare local files by size to check for changes (we use modified time)

Oh, nice, a universal owncloud client. Thats a great finding for reference! Let's see if can adapt some things!
