Ok, I've had a look around 3.0, well, a quick look around. I notice the data has been seperated from the program. One step forward I guess.

Now, with 2.4 and 2.5, I've been using a USB key to keep both my Work and Home PCs in synch, which meant simply using a synchronization software, SyncBack in my case, to copy only the changed files over to the USB key, and then from the USB key to the PC that needed updating.

Now, what I'd like to know is two-fold.

Can I still use a similar approach? Creating a profiles for the My Doc/DVD Profiler folder, and another for the Prog Files\DVD Profiler folder and synch those?

Or, can I rely on the online update to carry over all, or most, of the data and just worry about moving over the images?

-------------------

On a side note, I don't use use the My Documents folder at all on both PCs, I have all my data on a separate hard drive. Is it possible to move the location of the data folders?

The databases can be stored wherever you like.  Select File->Open Database, then click New Database.  Browse to the destination directory and enter a name.  The data, images, etc, will be stored in a directory by that name in that destination.

The only caveat is that the uninstall will not delete databases stored outside the My Documents\DVD Profiler directory.  All else should work fine.

Now why would I want to do that??

Does this mean I don't have to download more than one database for different collections?
They sought it with thimbles, they sought it with care,
They pursued it with forks and hope.
They threatened it's life with a railway share,
They charmed it with smiles and soap

Yes, the downloaded online part is centralized in a single DVD Profiler installation, and you then create as many different databases as you like.
