org-mode and orgzly sync issues

I sync my [[org]] files between [[Emacs]] on my desktop and [[orgzly]] on my phone using [[syncthing]].

At the moment I'm finding they get out of sync reasonably frequently, and you get an error in orgzly saying 'Local and remote notebooks are different'.

My steps to resolve are:

  • on desktop, copy `GTD.org` to `GTD.org.desktop`
  • in orgzly, from the Notebooks view, choose to override remote notebook
  • that means syncthing syncs `GTD.org` back on to the deskop
  • then in Emacs, do an ediff of `GTD.org` and `GTD.org.desktop` and pick out the bits you want from each
  • things will sync OK from there
