Wish to optimize multi-device data synchronization #2778

Closed mxy493 closed 2 months ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I use copyq on multiple devices and synchronize data via onedrive. Conflicts arise when different devices use the same configuration file and datda file. image

Describe the solution you'd like

I want my configurations and data to be automatically synchronized across multiple devices. Can the problem be solved by having a separate data file for each device, writing data to the current device's file, and merging all data from multiple devices for reading data?

Describe alternatives you've considered

Additional context

This won't be possible, only one instance of the app can use the configuration and data files.

For synchronizing a tab, see: https://copyq.readthedocs.io/en/latest/synchronize.html

Full automatic export and import might be possible using some more complex commands. But this is not a goal of this application.
