- | ====== Macro Sync ====== | + | |
- | |||
- | Keyboard Maestro includes built in support for syncing you macros. | ||
- | |||
- | First, **all except the first Mac will have their macros entirely replaced**, so if you have different macros on each Mac you should export any unique macros for latter import after you have set up syncing. | ||
- | |||
- | * On the first Mac, select Start Syncing from the File menu, select Create New, and save your macros to your Dropbox (or other) folder. | ||
- | * Wait for Dropbox to do its magic. | ||
- | * On each other Mac, export any unique macros, select Start Syncing, select Open Existing, **read the dialog**, then select the sync file in your Dropbox folder, then import your unique macros. | ||
- | |||
- | Macro syncing is all or nothing, so all your macros will be on all your Macs, and you can edit them on any Mac. You can set a Macro Group to be disabled specifically on this Mac by editing it in the editor. | ||
- | |||
- | As long as you don't make changes on two Macs faster than Dropbox syncs you will not get any conflicts, but if you do, Dropbox will save a conflict file and one or other change will be lost. You will probably need to periodically delete any conflict files Dropbox generates. | ||
- | |||
- | Note: Only your macros are synced. None of your preferences, clipboards or variables are synced. | ||
