Another feature I would like to see

[Marty.Hess@Eng (Marty Hess)]

  This one may sound dumb, but because three other people have access to drop
  appt's in my calendar I never know when I should sync, so I end up doing a
  _lot_ of needless syncs.  (5-6/day, in fact.)

  T'would be really,amazingly efficiently cool if SyncCm -- or PilotManager
  in general -- would check the mod'date of the callog file against any cached
  config or log file's and skip the whole thing if nothing's changed since
  last use when going HOST -> Pilot only.  (I've verified that PilotManager/
  SyncCM do NOT currently do this.)  There's a potential here to completely
  avoid the need to HotSync in HOST -> Pilot only instances.

  In fact, extending that to the front-end filtering operation in general
  would appear to save a fair amount of time for two-way sync operations, too.

  Likewise: Isn't there a DB "mod'date" on the Pilot DB's that could be
  similarly checked?  Sure, in these cases you'd still need to do the HotSync,
  but they'd go a LOT faster when there's nothing to be done (that originates
  from the Pilot side.)

  I may be fairly unique in this respect -- having no knowledge as to when
  I *need* to sync, but in the general populace I'll bet that there are
  others in my situation.  If anyone else is in this situation out there
  please speak up.

P.S. And as in all such wonderfully-intelligent automated systems, there should
be a way to override those smarts and force the complete check regardless of
what the "smarts" say to do!  This would NOT have to be a GUI-exposed mechanism
I think, however.
