Below is a list of feature requests for gSyncit that have been collected from users over time that may be included in a future release with other planned functionality. If you have a feature request please contact support and we will do our best to accommodate your request.

• Ability to sync attachments on Pocket Informant entries with Outlook.

• Ability to sync custom Outlook forms types.

• Ability to use advanced category filtering options available on the Pocket Informant task sync mapping with the notes syncing mapping for Pocket Informant Online.

• Ability to sync the Outlook calendar event notes with Evernote notes to allow editing event notes in Evernote.

• Ability to sync _dated_ Outlook notes with Pocket Informant where the date of the note can be included in the subject of the note to track what point in time the note relates to. For example, if the note title contains "[mm/dd/yyyy] note title" then then event creation date is set to the date specified in the note description to allow for filtering notes associated by a specific date.

• Ability to sync notes to Google Drive as text files instead of the native Google Docs format.

• Ability to automatically sync Outlook categories with Google Drive sub-folders folders

• Ability to sync the Google Birthday Calendar with Outlook. This does not currently work because this special Google calendar does not include the master recurring event for the birthday event series.

• Ability to automatically compare Outlook / Gmail contact images so that the highest quality image is preserved.

• Ability to show the parent task description / id for tasks on the Outlook task list for Pocket Informant and Toodledo tasks associated with a parent task. One user has suggested including the parent task name in the title of the subtasks associated with the task (e.g. "My Main Task - Sub Task 1 Description")

• Ability to assign a Toodledo priority number to the Outlook priorities to control how the High/Low/Normal priority values sync to/from Toodledo.

• Automatically adjust Outlook events to match the Google calendar time zone when the Windows time zone is changed. Right now the Windows and Google time zone settings must match at all times. This would allow changing the Windows time zone without having to also change to the Google calendar time zone.

• Ability to show/hide different sync services to hide services not used.

• Ability to enable/disable removing the prefix character when syncing based on categories with a prefix character. For example, if syncing based on the "@" prefix for the category then the "@" character will be removed when syncing and some users want to keep this character while others and the default is to remove the prefix character.

• Ability to select/deselect all items on a mapping panel to enable/disable all mappings quickly.

• Ability to sync a specific Outlook task user-defined field with Google task list names instead of using Outlook assigned categories.

• Ability to sync by date range with Pocket Informant Online.

• Ability to sync specific sync mappings (e.g. only sync a specific calendar mapping).

• Ability to filter Outlook tasks for syncing based on the assignee/assignor.

• Ability to set the default message class used when creating entries in Outlook. This allows for custom item types to be used in place of the standard Outlook item types. For example, using a custom IPM.Task task type when creating new tasks in Outlook.

• Ability to set custom field mappings to select which Gmail fields to sync with with Outlook fields. This allows syncing custom Gmail fields with specific Outlook fields.

• Ability to automatically sync Outlook categories with Google Drive and Dropbox folder names. Currently this requires a separate mapping for each folder and having the option to automatically sync would make configuration easier and take fewer steps.

• Provide option to only request delete confirmation when more than a set number of items is marked for deletion. For example, when more than 5 items are deleted only then would the delete confirmation dialog appear.

• Provide more details on the conflict dialog indicating which fields are different between the two modified entries. Some users have requested showing a list of fields that are different or simply being able to view the two entries side-by-side. The dialog would also allow the user to select which fields to merge or update when resolving the conflict.

• Ability to control _not_ syncing event body notes from Google calendar to Outlook. This is requested in order to preserve the rich text notes associated with Outlook events.

• Only show the gSyncit tab on the Outlook 2010 main window. For example, opening a mail or event object in Outlook shows the gSyncit toolbar on the ribbon in Outlook 2010 and 2007.

• Option to sync only specific Outlook categories with Google task lists. Currently all categories will sync with all Google task lists but the sync could be extended to sync only a specified list of categories with Google task lists.

• Ability to invoke/control the sync process from a command-line or windows scheduled task

• Ability to filter which categories are applied to the Toodledo advanced category filtering options. This allows only syncing specific categories in conjunction with the advanced category filtering options.

• Ability/option to enable/disable syncing notes from Gmail to Outlook to allow protecting Outlook notes formatting using rich text from being overwritten by Gmail notes. Gmail contacts do allow for RTF formatting and during the sync if the Outlook contact is updated and existing RTF formatting will be lost.   

• Ability to include/exclude the prefix character used when mappings that start with a specific character with specific Toodledo task fields. Currently categories that start with "@Category" will appear as "Category" in Toodledo when using the Advanced . Users would like that the "@Category" value is stored in Toodledo and the "@" remain in the name of the category.
  
  [X] Include prefix in Toodledo field value

• Ability to over-ride the default reminder sync options when syncing with Google events to always force the Google Calendar default reminders to be used when updating any Google events. For example if sync reminders is enabled and an Outlook event does or does not have a reminder then the Google event will always use the Google Calendar default reminders when updated by gSyncit.

• Ability to sync the assignment value associated with a Outlook task with a Toodledo folder, context, or tag value.

• When showing events to delete show the times in the local time zone instead of the time zone local to the event.

• Ability to sync tags/labels in Evernote, Gmail, Simplenote with Outlook categories.

• Preserve RTF formatting for Outlook items when updating an item from Google where the contents of the item have not changed.

Currently, when Outlook events are created a reminder is set using the default Outlook reminder settings. Users would like to override this default logic for events created from the Google calendar.

• The ability to include/exclude events that occur within a specific time range per day. For example, do not sync items that occur between 8am and 5pm daily.

Additionally, users have requested the ability to set the reminder time for updates to Never Remind and Remind in x Hours in addition to automatically closing if no response is received within x seconds.

• Users have requested the ability to sync Outlook notes with the Gmail notes group so that notes will appear on the iPhone which syncs notes to this group vs. Google documents.

• User has requested the ability to set a threshold to determine when the delete confirmation dialog should appear. If the threshold is 5 then the delete confirmation dialog would only appear when 5 or mote items are being deleted.
