[Feature request] Conflict resolution: ask each time

[vatterspun]

(Since my "crash on launch" post was an easy fix, decided to suggest something useful instead.)

This is not high priority.

Current behavior: When I have a note that's different from the server, the options are:

Requested behavior: upon conflict discovery, prompt user for action. Possible question structure:

"There has been a conflict between a note in AlephNote and the synchronizing server enabled in settings." Options:

A. Take no action, display this prompt again on program restart
B. Use client version (upload and overwrite remotely)
C. Use server version (download and overwrite locally)
D. Use server version and generate backup file (note title - date-and-time.txt

Quick note here: to be clear, I wanted to add an option to that list in the UI that says “prompt user” … I suspect most users won't need to be prompted.

Thanks.

Jep, that's how I would do it.

I just have to do a few architecture changes so that the syncing can display blocking dialogs.
But it's still on my list :D

Okay the first version of the option is implemented. There are still a few things I'm not satisfied but it should work :)

I'm speechless. That's way above and beyond. Thumbs up.
