Hm, I don't think a preference to enable "multi-file mode" is really the way to go, it seems a bit clumsy, like trying to do two things at once. But as another poster mentioned, support for using multiple files can be useful sometimes - I'll have to give it some thought and come up with a solution that at least makes that possible. > FWIW, the way I use Revelation is by keeping my Revelation data file in a > private Subversion repository so it syncs between computers.

I think this would definitely be solved best with a symlink - I could include a gconf setting for it, but a symlink really isn't that much work to set up :) > > It should also be possible to merge in data from a different Revelation > > file, for example if the user uses the same file on many computers - in > > which case equal entries are ignored, modified entries are updated, and > > new ones are added. > > That's excellent. Some of my different machines have gotten out of sync! Indeed - with the new file format, this should be fairly easy to do. -- Erik Grinaker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://erikg.codepoet.no/ "We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements of life, when all that we need to make us happy is something to be enthusiastic about." -- Albert Einstein
