Hi Nic. I wouldn't use Dropbox instead but additionally. iCloud is the standard for synching user properties and settings across OS X and iOS devices. Most people if not all using OS X or iOS already have an iCloud account. Many people do not have a Dropbox account and this shouldn't be a

Having a local copy, iCloud copy Dropbox copy may be a little bit of overkill? and three copies of the data means if one version gets corrupted, that will replicate across all copies? And the effort to do 3-way sync is a lot more than 2-way... Dropbox sync would be off by default, the user

No, haven't tried iCloud yet. Many apps use it though (Contacts, Calendar, Pages, Number, ...) and I'm quite happy with it most of the time. The advantage to the user is that there is zero configuration overhead, nothing to configure. Where on Dropbox there must be some settings which define

Was it I who suggested http://evernote.com/ ? It may be that I was thinking merely of Share from And Bible rather than synchronizing bookmarks and personal notes. NB. Dropbox is not 100% secure - if you want complete security, with your personal data encrypted at the user end, then you might

The way Apple manages to get iCloud to work the way all other developers get it to work are a fair bit different. Probably having under the cover access helps? ;) Anyway, the Dropbox API makes things pretty sweet for the end-user in that it doesn't reveal anything to them besides getting

I'm thinking further ahead and not from a standard user perspective but from more of a power user stand point. I run my own servers. What would be more helpful to me would be a method to sync to a specified server or specific protocol (FTP, HTTPS, Webdav...) instead of a specific service

Yes, but in this case, these are existing modules used with a new front-end (with I'm guessing functionality that isn't yet available in existing front-ends), hence the issue. Chris On 12 February 2013 14:52, David Haslam dfh...@googlemail.com wrote: Regarding proposed new module

An older version of osis2mod pulled titles out and put them at the top of the verse. It no longer does that. I suggest mod2imp to debug what is stored. osis2mod attempts to rewrite the module contents. The output you give indicates that it was built with that older version. But it might be an
