[REQ] iCloud Favourites Syncing

[sequelpro]

Issue imported from Google Code: https://code.google.com/p/sequel-pro/issues/detail?id=773 Reporter:jabakobob@gmail.com Date:2010-07-28 13:22:47 Status:Accepted

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/SyncServices/

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.
