Well Done Josh!
Seems to me that most of the problems people MAY have with this Add-On is due to people NOT reading the "About this Add-on" and ignoring the "Please read the Developer Comments as well." suggestion.Do yourselves a favour and do that. It is not complicated at all. Just make yourselves aware of how you can 'shoot yourself in the foot' and you will be just fine.
I am using the 0.4.0b3 Version and it has been working well for me through TB version 24.2.0
For those who had used Zindus for many years, and were sad to see it go as I was, I think you will be very happy with this Add-On.
Contribution sent in appreciation!
My suggestion for future upgrades:
re: Addition/Deletion/Updates - Rather than having to "Review the Log file" (it's hard to find changes in it) If we could have a "Details" button that would "List" contacts that where changed would be helpful. Listing changes option BEFORE run would be a Very Good option as well (a Simulated Run for example).
What I have learned is to see WHICH records where changed you'd have to search through the log and look for this:
If Google was newer and updates Thunderbird, then this is what it will say below the record that was changed (Search for this in the log file):
* The contact from Google is newer...Updating the contact from Thunderbird
If the Thunderbird was newer and updated Google, then this is what it will say below the record that was changed (Search for this in the log file):
* The contact from Thunderbird is newer...Updating the contact from Google
Unfortunately, it does not say WHAT was changed - would be nice think to know for the future.
