Since I've written some time-consuming scripts I'd like to enable syncing of
those scripts across two machines. I thought this would just be a matter of
syncing the autokey.json file via Dropbox.
Here's my problem:
1. On machine1 moved autokey.json to a folder in Dropbox, then created symlink
back to ~/.config/autokey/
2. Autokey on machine1 continues to access the autokey.json file just fine.
3. On machine2 deleted autokey.json from ~/.config/autokey
4. In its place created a symlink to synced autokey.json file in Dropbox folder.
5. Restarted Autokey on machine2
6. Did not see any of the shortcuts or scripts from machine1. Instead, I still
saw the scripts that had been present on machine2 prior to syncing.
7. On checking the autokey.json file in the Dropbox folder, it had been changed
(!) to contain the old shortcuts and scripts from machine2.
What I would expect is that replacing the autokey.json file would simply change
the shortcuts and scripts available. Instead the program seems somehow to
revert the json file.
I'm using version 0.71.2 on Ubuntu 11.04 (fully updated)
