I just want to make sure I understand what Bike is capable of in terms of sync. If I keep my file in Dropbox and open it with Bike on two different Macs, the only way to pick up changes made on the other Mac is to close and reopen the document. And furthermore, I wouldn’t pick up these changes unless the document was saved on the other device. Bike doesn’t integrate in real time changes made on another device with the document open on both devices. Apple Notes does do the kind of sync I’m describing and it seems Bike does not. Have I got this right?
I think this is generally right, Bike has no build in sync support.
This is something that I expect to investigate/implement post Bike 2.0 release, though no idea when sync will actually show up in Bike.
This may be true for Dropbox, test! In some cases if you change the file outside of Bike (when Bike has it open) then Bike will reload those changes automatically. Depends on which file API’s are being used to save. For example I think if you store on iCloud Bike will reload the file.
