Re: [tdf-discuss] Auto saving and google cloud connect oo2gdocs

I recorded a macro and ran but not a timer, that's not really what I was
looking for.

I was wondering if there was a question that could be answered to Google
Docs Synchronization and LibreOffice.

About the OO2gdocs extension that provides this functionality. I asked the
developer if he could improve Google Docs Synchronization. Here is my Email
that I sent him..

But this is there from some time ;-)
I think it was 2-3 years ago when I added autosave to OOo2GD. It works in
this way that when you download document from Google Docs you need to mark
"autoupdate" (you may mark in Configuration to default autoupdate). After
this when you will save your document it will be send back to Google Docs.
This is done after saving of document (exactly in each situation when
modification date or size of file will be changed).
Auto save working in this way that this will work without saving is
possible, but much more difficult to do. Now I need to have file to send it
to Google Docs, and OpenOffice.org/LibreOffice need some time to create
file, so eve if I will with some interval ask OO.org for saving file I will
need to wait to this, and it may stop OO.org...... maybe if I will be able
to access autosaved file? I will look on it.

I'm using official API from Google to upload/download files. Google Cloud
connect uses some different way to work with Google Docs, I cannot be sure
but I think it is something working in this way that MS Office sends
information about changes in document (not in file but in document) to
Cloud Connect servers, those servers create new file and update it in
Google Docs. The same in opposite way, so first file is downloaded from
Google Docs to Cloud Connect servers, and those servers sends diff to MS
Office. I think Google bought Cloud Connect mainly because of this software
able to sync documents ;-)

OOo2GD is one of my weekend projects, and I'm implementing new features to
it when I have time and nothing more interesting to do ;-)

Przemek
