###KM Sync Process

@peternlewis, I have to say that I am very impressed with the sync process you have designed for Keyboard Maestro. :+1:

I just did a test with two of my Macs side-by-side, and found this:

  • As soon as I made a change to one Action in a KM Macro:
    • The Keyboard Maestro Macros.plist file in Mac#1 KM App Support folder was updated.
    • The Keyboard Maestro Macros.kmsync file was also instantly updated, showing the same time stamp
  • DropBox service then noticed the changed sync file, and updated/synced the same file on Mac#2 in less than 1 min, probably less than 30 sec.. Just timed it with my iPhone Stopwatch: 6.12 sec!!!
    • This is a round-trip from Mac#1 > Internet > Mac#2
    • I do have a ultra high speed Internet service by Comcast (200Mbps)

Normally I would not be using multiple Macs so quickly. My normal mode is to close all apps one Mac and put it to sleep before starting/waking another Mac.
