Sync and Speed Dials

@leocg A lot of this page opera://sync-internals is confusing. Perhaps you can help a non expert?

opera://sync-internals/About/Local State says this:
"Last Synced 0 hours, 2 minutes ago
Sync First-Time Setup Complete true
Sync Cycle Ongoing false
Local Sync Backend Enabled false"

To me this means that the last sync was 2 minutes ago, but "Sync Cycle Ongoing false".

What does this mean?

opera://sync-internals/Search/Unsynced produces zero results.

Does this mean that nothing was left unsynced?

If so this is not correct because my test bookmark and my speed dials have not been synced.

@alanbo That means that one of your Opera installations is not syncing or that the other ones aren't being able to get synced data from that other device.

@alanbo I know basically the same as you. The idea is to check if sync is happening and it seems to be as you said.

@alanbo You need to check on all devices, specially in the problematic ones.

@leocg Double checked each time I investigate.

Sorry, I thought as a moderator you would have greater expertise than me.

Is there no support structure beyond the forums, with more expert advice?

@alanbo So you opened opera://sync-internals on all devices and sync is happening on all of them?

@leocg Yes, exactly same data as on Windows 10.

@alanbo The column on the most right shows that your bookmarks are being synced?

@leocg Yes, and this shows in all three devices. Also the on the left the last sync was shown as about 3 hours ago. However, I put the test bookmark on Windows well before that and it has not synced to the Android devices.

@alanbo Sync seems to be a really bad name for what this actually does; it just populates a personal page on opera.com where you can see your other settings. I tried this to pull in my settings from my old computer as I upgrade; it helps somewhat but is horribly manual. There is no import that I can find just the page. I would much rather have a real export/import.

Yeah tibberluke, very frustrating.

leocg - no reply to my last post of a month ago?
