I was going to reply to the thread regarding 'web based database' in the 'suggestions' section, but figured I'd just throw up a new topic:
I'm testing out syncing the beersmith database between my desktop & laptop by using the folder sync tool Dropbox (I use it to sync My 'my docs' & 'desktop' folders already). I'm using a file folder junction to sync the folder outside the dropbox folder (there are plenty of writeups about dropbox and junction usage around the web, so that's all I'll say...)
Things seem to work properly (I updated a recipe on one PC, let them sync, and then opened beersmith on the other and the change had moved over..)
However, when I A) changed the preferences to only display brew log events in the calendar, & B) copied a recipe to the brew log, that change didn't move over. I'm assuming because the preferences are a registry setting? Will further changes to the brew log be synced now that the preferences are the same on both systems?
I can't say I expect too much 'support' for this, because it is essentially a hack (And anyone who tries it should expect the same... do it at your own risk of your beersmith data).
I'm just curious if the developer has any commentary on it (regarding any tips, cautions, etc.)
Really enjoying the software! - it made my first AG batch go very smoothly IMO.
Keep up the good work.
