Synchronize "Favorites" between two computers?
Is it possible to synchronize the contents of the "Favorites" tab between my two computers? I was working on a Greek diagram on my home computer and placed it in Favorites. I came to my office thinking I could pick up where I left off when I noticed the favorites folders are different on my two computers. Can you also sync desktops/layouts?

I do not use favorites, I do know that my layouts do sync.
FYI... My laptop is always syncing, (it has not stopped syncing for the past week and a half, and I have kept it up and running all night long), and it took four days for a couple of layouts on my laptop to show up on my desktop.

They should sync for you automatically, unless you have "Use Internet" set to "no" on one or both of the computers (EDIT: in Logos under Tools > Program Settings).

Good idea to manually sync when changing computers - sync now command or click arrows (far right from command).
Favorites and Named Layouts are sync'd. Time snapshots of layouts are not sync'd.
[I] Use Logos 4 on one computer - name or update layout, Sync (wait for spinning arrows to stop), change computers, Sync (wait for arrows to stop), open layout.

OK. I'll have to check my home computer again. Office computer has everything checked correctly in Program settings. It may be that the home computer had not finished syncing when I shut it down. Unfortunately, I can't put both computers side by side to check this out... but I'll give this procedure a shot. Thanks.

I hope your syncing progress is faster than mine. I changed my priority resources and added a couple new collections on Wed. on my desktop, and I still do not have them on my laptop. Then again, my laptop has not stopped syncing for the past month. (It takes sooooo long to sync because of my notes [my notes db file in L4 is over 372 Meg, but they only take up 236 Meg in L3.] I have a funny feeling that when L4 gets close to finishing its syncing process, I import my new notes into L4, and the whole syncing process starts all over again.)

FYI... it took L4 five days to sync my new priorities and my new collections.
