I work on both laptop and desktop and i need my MarseEdit local draft available on both machines. I do use this method to get local draft on both machines. When you want to work with MarsEdit drafts on multiple machines, follow our step by step guide.
1. Make sure MarsEdit is not running of it is running quit MarsEdit from each system you are going to change the location of local drafts.
2. Find local MarsEdit drafts on your main system.
1 2 3 | ~/Library/Application Support/MarsEdit/LocalDrafts |
3. Create folder for drafts in Dropbox.
1 2 3 | $ mkdir -p ~/Dropbox/Library/MarsEdit |
4. Move the local drafts from the main computer to Dropbox, use these two commands:
1 2 3 4 | $ cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/MarsEdit $ mv LocalDrafts ~/Dropbox/Library/MarsEdit/LocalDrafts |
5. Now, create a symlink the old name to the new location.
1 2 3 | $ ln -s ~/Dropbox/Library/MarsEdit/LocalDrafts ./LocalDrafts |
Now, goto the other machines and do these steps.
6. Remove the local draft folder (if it’s not empty and delete it will delete your existing data).
1 2 3 | $ rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/MarsEdit/LocalDrafts |
7. Ceate a symlink the old name to the new location.
1 2 3 | $ ln -s ~/Dropbox/Library/MarsEdit/LocalDrafts ./LocalDrafts |
Repeats steps 6 and 7 for each computer you need to share local drafts. Once you start up MarsEdit on each of these machines, you should see the same local drafts. Make sure your dropbox is running.
