[REQ] iCloud Favourites Syncing

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Some time we should implement favorite syncing via MobileMe. At the moment I 
have no clue how to do this, and I don't have a MobileMe subscription.

The relevant docs are here:
http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/SyncServic
es/

I'm posting this because it came up on the mailing list.

Or at LEAST be able to export favorites to a file we could then manually import 
on other machine's Sequel Pro.  As a rough way to sync Favorite lists/accounts.

It's been discussed at length on the mailing list, but I want to repeat it here:

You can transfer favorites from one computer to another by copying the 
preference file. It's located in 
~/Library/Preferences/com.google.code.sequel-pro.plist

Another possibility is to use document based connection favorites (just use 
"save" from the file menu)

So I believe there already is a "rough way" to sync favorites.

I'm guessing that adding Syncing for Mobile Me is now a fruitless endeavour. 
Renaming to iCloud.

I'd also like to put in a good word for making it easy to sync using DropBox. I 
could probably figure out how to do that using symbolic links, but it would be 
great if were less geeky than that to do.

+1 on using Dropbox. TextExpander does this for their text snippets and it 
works quite well for sharing a single set of data on multiple machines through 
sync.

As a every-day user of sequel pro - with 2 installations - one on my office and 
one on my laptop, iCloud syncing would be the most preferred way to sync 
favourites. Its annoying when you have to export a favourites one place - and 
import it the other place.

I have over 200 favourites, and often make changes to them. Now I need to make 
changes 2 places... This is syncing in a hard way!

So, iCloud-background-syncing of favourites would be great! 

+1 on using iCloud!

The problem here is that iCloud syncing require App store distribution and 
sandboxing.

Using iCloud sync with CoreData is very, very easy! Give it a try!

Alfred app gives you the possibility to choose the settings location.
Think this is quite easy to implement, and people can choose for themself what 
to do...

How to sync via dropbox:

Main Computer::
mkdir ~/Dropbox/SequelPro
mv ~/Library/Preferences/com.sequelpro.SequelPro.plist ~/Dropbox/SequelPro
mv ~/Library/Application\ Support/Sequel\ Pro ~/Dropbox/SequelPro

All Computers (including Main):
ln -s ~/Dropbox/SequelPro/com.sequelpro.SequelPro.plist 
~/Library/Preferences/com.sequelpro.SequelPro.plist
ln -s ~/Dropbox/SequelPro/Sequel\ Pro ~/Library/Application\ Support/Sequel\ Pro

While a very simple request this would be very handy for multiple devices.

Agreed!

iCloud syncing would be very nice. And hey, time to move to the App Store 
anyway, right!?

Sequel Pro is the best dbms on the mac. Only thing that comes close is Querious

Bump! Dropbox syncing could work so well, and needs to be integrated in the app 
itself as the above work-around for moving plists doesn't work with Mavericks 
caching of app preferences.

THIS SHOULD BE A HIGH PRIORITY FEATURE. ARE YOU GUYS SERIOUSLY MARKING IT LOW 
PRIORITY?!

As suggested in #15, allowing the user to specify where the preference file is 
stored would be an easy solution which would allow people to sync at least with 
Dropbox, and possibly with other methods. Alfred does this well, you just have 
to choose the folder and if does the rest for you. When you set the folder to 
one that already has preferences stored in it, it will autodetect those 
preferences and load them. Here's a screenshot of the Syncing preference in 
Alfred: http://cl.ly/image/1f2k0k0S2M1r

With the revelations at WWDC, it seems more clear than ever that the future 
evolution of Mac OS X is for the user to be able to assume that anything of 
importance is automatically floated from device to device. After a lifetime of 
sticking to command lines, I have come to love Sequel Pro, and the feature 
requested here soars above any other concern I have. Strong vote in favour.

That manual preference file syncing workaround is just that, a WORKAROUND. I'm 
perfectly aware that it's possible to do that but people who are talking about 
it are missing the point.

Cloud sync is a standard feature of any modern program, and OS X makes it easy 
peasy to implement with iCloud. To treat it as a low priority feature in 
something like this shows that developers are out of touch with the average 
user of their software.

I don't want to create a symlink every damn time I reformat or get a new device 
involved, I want the software to handle that as a matter of course.

Push this feature to high priority because it's the massive gap that is 
stopping me from considering Sequel Pro as the perfect solution out there.

Workaround with dropbox do sync connections, but passwords are ignored, so i 
have connections on all my computers, but i have to enter password manually. Is 
there some workaround for workaround :)

All because sequel pro team think that we don't need native built in sync :(
