Ok, then at least I know what I can expect if I buy me one. ;-)

Sounds cool! I also wanted to work on the log thing, it is heavily
broken. Maybe we can share thoughts and work.

Currently, Genesis only records the console output, it doesn’t really
touch the log file. This keeps the log displayed in an error case short
and readable, but isn’t very reliable.

You can find out about the last session directories with

        syncevolution --print-sessions <server>

(Which also prints the statistics. You can hide them with `--quiet`.)

That session directory contains the log file. Since SE is based on
Synthesis, it’s in HTML format and currently called sysynclib.html. I
think it’ll be called syncevolution-log.html in the future.

We should think about how to display it. Maybe just strip all HTML tags?
Or display it in an embedded web browser?

Is it ready to merge? I’ll look at it then, and merge if I don’t have
any questions.

As always, take your time. :-)
