Chrome extension will on occasion retrieve ALL PAST LINKS

[James]

The new chrome extension seems to, on occasion, open all past links
that have been sent through android2cloud.

This happens when I do not have a browser open, and then I open
Chrome. A second later, all the past links I have sent through
android2cloud open up.

It seems to happen every other time I re-open Chrome (ie, one in two),
though this seems to be interfered with if I were to send more than
one link to my browser whilst Chrome is closed.

I have been doing some tests on the dev server and you have my
permission to look at whatever you like on there of mine to try and
diagnose it. Feel free to email me too for more info, and I'll try
and help debug when convenient. Maybe in approx 13 or 14 hours from
the time of this post.

Good luck...

I can't seem to win on this.

I'll look into it, and hopefully issue a fix tonight. Sorry for all these issues. :(

Thanks,

Paddy--

Steps to reproduce are to uninstall the extension, reinstall, and go through the setup. After I authorize the server, all my links since the 2.0 upgrade open.

Thanks,

Jason

I can also make it happen by sending a link while the browser is closed. In one case, I was prompted to re-setup the extension. In another, I just got a link dump.

Thanks for the info. Working on a fix as we speak.

First, thanks for this app/extension combo -- it's really darn
impressive.

Anyway, this happened to me just now -- right after I fired up Chrome,
nine new tabs appeared for links I shared via android2cloud weeks ago

What's weird is that a link I shared 10 minutes ago didn't reappear --
it's always these same nine tabs from a few weeks ago that re-appear.

One other thing: have two android devices with the app installed,
using the same gmail account. Could that be the problem?

I'm using the latest versions of both the app and extension.

Thanks again,
-Dave

Hi Dave,

This sounds like issue #60.

http://code.google.com/p/android2cloud/issues/detail?id=60&colspec=ID%20Type%20Os%20Status%20Owner%20Reporter%20Summary

It looks like Paddy is planning to fix it by around Sunday.

Cheers,
Jason

Dave,

Jason is right (thanks Jason!). For more information, you can also see the blog post: http://blog.android2cloud.org/2011/02/links-constantly-being-opened.html

Sorry for these issues. I hope to get stability back where it should be soon.

Thanks,

Paddy,

Thanks for the link!  I'll switch over to that test server.
