Re: [mylar-dev] Persistence of Tasks between Eclipse Sessions

[Eugene Kuleshov <eu@xxxxxxxx>]

  By the way, Mik, I noticed that when opening editor for Bugzilla 
issue from query hit, Mylar runs task synchronization firs, which may 
take some time. It would make sense to show an editor for currently 
available task info, kick off background sync and update editor upon 
completion.

  regards,
  Eugene
