For most of my user defined lists, I use the edit function to add a description and to select a specific image to display with that list. If I use the “Synchronize account data” function on the Profile screen, I lose those edits. The descriptions disappear, and the associated image reverts to the default. This has happened to me several times. It is a fairly big annoyance, as performing some of those edits, for very large lists, takes a long time. Bringing up the list of images for selection is extremely slow. This does not happen on automatic synchronizations that are done routinely.
Is the forced synchronization supposed to do something different from the automatic ones? Why should these edits be lost under these circumstances?
This problem is more pervasive than I initially thought. The descriptions and selected image are being lost without a manual synchronization. It seems to happen randomly and frequently. The only way to keep the image I want is to keep making the show with that image the one most recently added to that list. This makes the list edit function useless and very frustrating.
I am suspicious that the problem may be related to running the program on more than one android device, which I do. Regardless, it would be really nice to get this fixed. I was able to do those edits and have them stick for a long time before this started. So it is a regression that happened not too long ago.
