sync across machines?
« on: February 28, 2008, 08:42 PM »
I have FARR installed at home, work, and on the laptop.  Any suggestions or tips for getting them sychronized (just the aliases would be great, but hotkeys, settings, plugins, the works if possible).

Minimally, is there a way to get FARR to load an alias file from an arbitrary directory?  I have a directory with all my data in it that's already synchronized across the machines.  Reading from there, and I'd be all set.

I guess one solution would be to use FARR from a usb pen, since farr is portable, this wouldn't be a problem.

From what i know, there's no way to configure another folder for the aliases.
Why don't you install farr in the directory you have synchronized?

FARR uses plain text files to save its settings -- if you add the aliases directory to the list of directories you sync across machines it should work fine.

Thanks for the suggestions.  I have so much creeping onto my USB, I just have to say "no"! ;)  And that's what I use to syn across machines, so I'll figure out which files I need and rig up some kind of sync just for them.

Thanks-
