I just installed 4.0 on my work computer this morning, and was thrilled to see shortcuts from my home computer on my layout. Having the computers auto-sync is awesome! Way to go Logos!
My autosync doesn't seem to function. It keeps telling me hat items are waiting o be synchronised but that's it. logos4.exe has permission to breach the firewall. I wonder if I'm missing something.
Yeah, they both have logos4.exe as an exception in the windows firewall. Shame about the preferred resources. That's what I'd like the computers to ysnc.
Can you please send us your Logos4.log file (after running the program for about 5 minutes). There may be sync-related errors in the log that will provide a clue as to why it's not syncing.
I hope this gets worked out for you. So far syncing is working great for me. Everything I did today at the office synced at home within a minute of opening the program. If you can get the kinks worked out, you'll like it!
Thanks David. From the little I could make of the log file - there appears to be an error with regard to the clock. Maybe the problem is that I am in Australia
I would still love a complete list of what is synchronised - are layouts synchronised? if so do they overwrite existing layouts?
I think it actually does have to do with you being in Australia (!), and we're fixing it for the next release. (Related to time offsets from GMT.)
Everything is synced; preferences, documents, etc. Layouts are actually stored in a grid system that's independent of your screen resolution. If you have dramatically different screen sizes, though, you might want less content on the other system. Fortunately all your layouts are synced, though, so you can easily have named versions for different displays, etc.
Sync is as much for backup as it is for keeping two machines coordinated, so there are no plans at this time to give you control over which data syncs. It's all or nothing.

Do both computers have their permissions enabled?
Also, I did just notice that my preferred resources did not sync.

I put together some collections today. When I get home I'll check and see if those synced.
