sync libraries with v10 on 2 computers?

+1 for .Mac syncing.

My recent attempt to sync resulted in my adding the bookends database to a 2GB memory stick... but I forgot the actual pdf library.

As Jon and others have suggested, there are various ways to achieve synching or something similar, and many of them would probably be difficult from a development point of view. As a general point, though, this kind of functionality is likely to be seen more and more as essential rather than an optional extra.

For what it's worth, doing this through .Mac would be a very valuable addition from my point of view, particularly now that Apple has decided to give us reasonable storage space and bandwidth.

Not sure about sync via .Mac, mainly because you need an account. In the UK I think its Â£65 annum, which on top of Broadband fees in the order of Â£180 annum, which includes email addresses, web space etc, its rather expensive and partly duplicates what the ISP provides.

I've prefer to sync via another method, such as software and USB Sticks, or via your own local LAN if using a say an iMac and a MacBook at home. Currently at the moment I copy the Bookends database and attachments onto a USB Stick, then copy it onto my PowerBook, when working away from base.
