We have plans to add iCloud syncing in the coming months.<br>
If you do want to try the link, and you should definitely make sure
you have a good backup if you do, then</p>
<p>1) Move the folder ~/Library/Application/Mental
Case/Library.mentalcase2lib to your Dropbox<br>
2) Link to the folder from the original location. In Terminal type
this</p>
<p>ln -s ~/Library/Application/Mental
Case/Library.mentalcase2lib</p>
<p>The path in dropbox could be something like this</p>
<p>~/Dropbox/Library.mentalcase2lib</p>
<p>And I repeat: please make a good backup, because Dropbox syncing
is not really supported, and there is some risk of data corruption,
especially if the app is run simultaneously on two devices.</p>
<p>Hope that helps.<br>
Kind regards,<br>
Drew</p></div>drewmccormacktag:mentalfaculty.tenderapp.com,2010-10-19:Comment/129954632012-03-14T01:54:46Z2012-03-14T01:54:46ZSymbolic Linking to SQlite Database<div><p>I've been attempting to implement the dropbox support as you
outlined. However, I keep getting a second Data.sqlite file begin
created with a name something like:<br>
Data.(Laptop's conflicted copy 2012-3-13).sqlite. Any thoughts?</p></div>Doug Stetartag:mentalfaculty.tenderapp.com,2010-10-19:Comment/129954632012-03-14T07:11:27Z2012-03-14T07:11:27ZSymbolic Linking to SQlite Database<div><p>Hi Doug,<br>
It is a risky business, because you can end up with a corrupt
database.<br>
You must not run the app on two machines at once. If dropbox sees
that the same file changed on two different machines, it will
consider the files in conflict, and it then makes a copy of the
older one in case you want to use that one. That is the extra file
you are seeing.<br>
We are working on iCloud syncing now. If you would like to be in on
the beta testing let me know. Probably not too long until we start
testing.<br>
Kind regards,<br>

<p>I would very much like to be in on the beta testing. My
situation is such that I really need to sync between two macs (not
to mention an iPad & iPhone). I use all of these regularly in
learning Mandarin.</p>
<p>ciao</p>
