CintaNotes synced via LiveMesh
Posted: Sun Nov 28, 2010 3:12 am
I don't have a DropBox account, and I am already using LiveMesh to sync all my docs between my desktop and laptop. After a bit of cogitation, I was able to set things up CintaNotes in a separate LiveMesh folder. Here's the drill:
1. Downloaded 1.3 and installed it on my desktop into a folder of its own at root level on a drive other than C:, just in case there would be sync problems with the C: drive.
2. Exported all notes from 1.2 into an XML file, imported that into 1.3.
3. Tweaked a couple of settings in CN.
4. Went to my LiveMesh page onlline and synced the CintaNoes 1_3 folder. By the time I walked into the other room and checked, CintaNotes 1_3 was in my personal folder on the laptop, with settings correct and all notes intact. I'm not 100% thrilled with that folder location, but it'ill do.
This seems like an ideal way to use this tool for anyone who syncs only with self and uses LiveMesh. It's always going to be available even when I'm off-line with the laptop, refreshing as soon as I'm back online. The LiveMesh Achilles Heel for other apps is their inability to refresh active files. CintaNotes can do that. Yay!
