Task categories/list syncing with Astrid

[peasantmk2]

Hello,

I have recently got an Android phone, and have successfully managed to sync it with Memotoo calendar, contacts, and tasks. The only issue I've had is that all my tasks lose their categories when they come into Astrid. Astrid has 'lists'. Is this the default, and if so are there any plans to allow this sort of syncing to happen.

Cheers,

The Synthesis client for Android is not supporting categories for tasks at all in the current release.

They will be supported for the internal tasks manager for the next release.
We are checking if they can be supported for the Astrid interface as well.

Thanks for that. Good to know it is being considered.

The new version V2.2.20 of the Synthesis app has been released today.
It syncs Astrid task lists now as categories, as requested and expected.

Brilliant, thanks very much.

...except I can't get it to work. I'm using Astrid 4.0.6.2, and SyncML Pro 2.2.20 from Google Play and Memotoo. So far I've tried disabling and re-enabling Astrid in Syncml Settings, and 'reloading device' for sync type. All tasks are synced, but Memotoo categories are lost, and everything appears as Not in Any List in Astrid.

I've set up lists in Astrid with the same names as the Categories in Memotoo.

I'm wondering if I have to reinstall either Astrid or Syncml or both?

My phone is an HTC Desire Z running Android 2.3.3.

I have a same problem.

Category transferred to the Astrid and displayed there, but they can not be used (ie, sort it), and if you add the same category in the Astrid they are added to the same. And displayed as <Category> | <Category>. In the opposite direction (from Astrid to evolution) all transmitted as necessary.

As far as I know, there is no further development on Astrid.
Is the same problem at Alex Baker's tasks ?

Alex Baker's tasks shows me inactive in task sync properties.

Incative means that Alex Baker's tasks shows in tasks sync properties, but I cannot switch it on. In any case, I now used Informant. It works well with categories.
