Sync PopSearch between two computers

[Nick Brawne]

Is there a way to sync the search engines that I use in PopSearch between computers ?

I have looked for a preference file that I could place in DropBox and then use a SymLink back to the original location with, but cant find anything to move.

Hi Nick,

There is no support for automatic syncing, but you can sort-of sync the search engines between two computers manually. This requires you to have a Pinboard account, which is cheap but unfortunately not free. After setting up an account, you can use the Export To Pinboard button on the Engines tab of PopSearch's settings to copy all your engines to Pinboard. Then you can use the Import From Pinboard button on another computer to copy those engines to it. You can do this both ways, so any engines not present on either computer can be copied from the other computer.

Best regards,
Chul Kim

Thanks for the help.

I have been meaning to try Pinboard for a while, so this might be the push I needed (that and it being a new year).

Thanks again for a wonderful product.
