@skyjake hello...
By any chance do you have or know any strategy to sync Lagrange among several computers?
Thanks! 👍

@skyjake: Understood.
To be honest, a "syncthing like" type of solution is a workaround. I think it could work fine as long as you make sure to close lagrange after usage in each device and make sure sync goes both way. No merge but overrides of the files.
It wouldn't be perfect at all but could help OP · 1 year ago
@skyjake, thank you very much! 👍👍👍 · 1 year ago
@bacardi55 Suppose you could do that, but there is a problem with external sync tools. The app doesn't check if runtime files have been changed by other parties. Synced changes will easily get overwritten.
I could alleviate this by adding such checks, but then it's necessary to resolve possible conflicts and/or merge partial changes. It gets complicated.
Conflicts resolved by external tools are particularly bad because your bookmarks may break if the number of lines in the file changes for any reason. It might still be worth the risk, though, since the bookmarks file doesn't change that often. · 1 year ago
You could use syncthing or similar tools to sync the bookmark file? · 1 year ago
The best I've come up with so far is to have my bookmarks in a cloud-shared folder and use that as a remote bookmark file in Lagrange. The problem with this is when there's new/removed bookmarks, they need to be manually updated in the shared folder. You can sort of manage it via the app's current export and import features, though, if you remember to disable remote sources before making the export.
I keep copies of my client certs in a password manager (Bitwarden) so they can be imported on any machine via the clipboard.
A sync server would be really useful, though. It would allow keeping track of subscriptions, too. Need to think how one could be done. · 1 year ago
