Clipd 0.1.3
Automatic sync. Install on both Macs.
New
Sync now runs by itself. Three triggers:
- About 5 seconds after launch
- Every 5 minutes
- 15 seconds after you stop copying
The last one is debounced, so copying ten things in a row produces one sync, not
ten. Syncing on every copy was deliberately avoided: it would put a network
round trip on the Cmd+C path.
Turn it off with the Sync automatically checkbox in Settings, Sync. The pane
also shows when the last pass ran and what it did, so automatic sync is visible
rather than something you trust blindly. Sync Now still works for an
immediate pass.
Two passes never overlap. Two at once would each write a manifest, and the later
could claim items the earlier had not finished uploading.
After installing on both Macs
Nothing to do. Each Mac uploads what it has and downloads what it lacks, on its
own, within about five minutes. Joining never deletes: an item missing from the
other Mac's index is uploaded, never removed.
