HOWTO: Sync Carousel saves/recents with Dropbox

Jeremy Greenwood:

Like most Mac apps, Carousel stores support files in the Application Support directory, this of course includes the file used for saves and recents. You should be able to just copy and paste the commands after each step in your Terminal application…

1. First quit Carousel and backup your file in case something goes wrong:

   cp -r ~/Library/Application\ Support/com.mobelux.Carousel ~/Library/Application\ Support/com.mobelux.Carousel.Backup
   

2. Now copy the app support folder to Dropbox:

   cp -r ~/Library/Application\ Support/com.mobelux.Carousel ~/Dropbox/Other/
   

3. Next you want to delete the support folder:

   rm -r ~/Library/Application\ Support/com.mobelux.Carousel
   

4. Now for the Magic, create a symbolic link that contains a reference from the shiz on Dropbox to the shiz that Carousel is looking for:

   ln -s ~/Dropbox/Other/com.mobelux.Carousel ~/Library/Application\ Support/com.mobelux.Carousel
   

5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each Mac you want to have synced saves and recents.
