AFAICT Dropbox doesn't give you programmatic notice of file changes, so BibDesk would have to poll for it. This is doable, but it's not a good practice in general. It's a shame they can't just post a distributed notification, at least. > Well, this is, at least in theory, exactly what proper iCloud support would > do for you. The difference is that you're never going to get iCloud support, proper or otherwise, unless Apple changes their policies. Dropbox support might be more feasible. -- Adam ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ RSA(R) Conference 2012 Save $700 by Nov 18 Register now http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsa-sfdev2dev1 _______________________________________________ Bibdesk-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bibdesk-users
