How can I use the IPTC on 2 computers
« on: December 30, 2008, 11:37:58 PM »
Hello. I currently use PM on my MacPro and Macbook Pro. Is there a way to merge or sync all the IPTC info?

Sometimes I have to work onsite and I would like not to have to re enter all the info on the desktop.

I tried doing a search but could not find anything.

I am on the trial, but will be purchasing probably tomorrow.

Version 4.5.4
OSX
10 GB ram- MacPro
4 GB ram Macbook Pro

Thanks Larz

OK, I found how I can save the structured keywords and then email it to myself and then load it onto the other computer, but what about the rest? And is there a way to sync it, maybe like Mobile ME?

Thanks Larz

Larz,

Version 4.6 will have full support for transferring settings from one computer to another.

Larz,
Go to your USERS,your HOME, then LIBARY, then PREFERENCES. Now make a copy of your , com.camerabits.Photomechanic.plist THEN  replace the plist is the other computer with this plist. That is what I do. Try it. John

Hi John, thanks, but I wish there was a way to combine them.

I work on my desktop at home, but also work in the field and edit there as well.

Thanks Larz
