tag sync #2

What is a right way to sync? After creating tags additional on my 1st tb installation, i set-up sync on 2nd one. on 2nd installation existing tags synced well (colors, names). But new tags was not created (extract from couchDB view, in red). OS: Linux Mint 22 (1st), Windows 10 (2nd) Client: Betterbird 102 noname

As i see also in couchdb view, tag for each email are also synced? Can it be turned off, as f.ex, gmail sync tags already well.

What additional info can I rpovide?

that is a problem of Thunderbird. Currently, we are not notified when a new tag is created. We have to wait until the tag is applied the first time, then we see the tag is new and can create both the tag and the tagged message in the database.

I want to add addressbook sync, xnote sync etc. Then, I will put in something to switch off individual sync

As i understand, the workaround for now is to copy from profile pref.js user pref of tags from source machine and putting them into profile user.js on target machine and start TB, for first sync

yes, that is one possible way. Or just use the new tag on a message. In that moment, the sync addon will notice: a) the tag is new b) the message is tagged

and will put both into the database.
