Is it possible to run the program on two machines with the database on a hard drive both can access? Or can one be the master and the other machine can just share the database?
Of course I could use icloud or dropbox to sync, but unfortunately we’ve got an internet connection as slow as isdn. And the Database backup is already 1,5GB. (Just imported from another software like this one.)
And if I buy: Where can I report bugs?
To specify what I need:
I’ve got a list of our boardgames (over 1000) and would like to have this list on my iMac and also on the Macbook of my wife.
As we both have our own icloud and dropbox login, this would not work, even if we had internet fast enough to use it for the database.
But we’ve got an airport Time capsule and a mac mini running 24/7. Is there a chance to get TapForms in sync just over our Wifi?
Hi MiB,
I’m working on a solution for WiFi sync, but it’s just in the proof of concept stage at the moment. Utilizing the Couchbase Mobile database engine, I should be able to provide WiFi syncing. But it’s a ways away still.
The best you could do in this scenario without syncing over the cloud is to email records back and forth. If you have the Export Record IDs option turned on for the Export Records function, then you’ll be able to do a sort of pseudo sync. New records will be added, existing records will be updated. Nothing will be deleted if you deleted a record though.
Thanks,
Brendan
Hi Brendan,
thank you very much. I had Ninox also on my list, but I like your app better. Just bought it. :o)
Sign me up for the beta test on the WiFi sync. ;o)
In the meantime we will sync by backup and USB Stick.
Mailing isn’t an option as a good internet connection would be necessary also. (There are lots of pictures involved.)
By the way: How do I change the avatar picture in this forum?
Have a nice day and thank you for making this great software!
