Syncing your Todolicious
MacGasm commented on Twitter that he wishes to synchronize his Todolicious To Dos.
Instantly, I thought: Dropbox!! So, to test syncing I installed Todolicous in my Macbook and since it was a fresh installation, I deleted all default to dos. However, if you won’t to lose all to dos in one of the Mac’s, then you need to copy those to dos, manually.
Alternatively, you can open the file opendata that can be found in ~/Library/Todolicious.
opendata is an xml file and each block between <object type="TODO" ...> and </object> is a to do item on Todoliciouos application. Look to the picture below where you can see three blocks representing three to dos:
All you need to do is copying all those blocks, paste into some file or send to you through the email and put these blocks in the same file in the other Mac. A good position to paste those blocks is right before the </database>, which is the last line of the storedata file.
Now, let’s talk about the synchronization part:
1. Close Todolicious
2. Open the Terminal (/Utilities/Terminal)
3. Go to Dropbox's folder: cd Dropbox
4. Execute the command: ln -s ~/Library/Application\ Support/Todolicious
After the Dropbox’s synchronization, go to your other Mac, and follow the steps bellow (attention: the step #3 will delete all your to dos):
1. Open the Terminal (/Utilities/Terminal)
2. execute the command: cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/
3. execute: rm -rf Todolicious
4. run the command: ln -s ~/Dropbox/Todolicious
That’s it!!
Now, just wait for Dropbox’s synchronization, then open Todolicious and everything should be synchronized.
