syncing 2 dbs but only specific groups

Post by Gerben »

I have one large database containing all my references. I would like to create a topical database now that only contains groups from the 'master' db that are relevant to a particular project I am working on. My problem is that I always add new refs to the master db and would like to keep the topical db up-to-date without copying them from the master. If I am correct the only way to do this right now is manually copy new refs to keep these dbs in sync.

So I wonder if there is another way to accomplish this relatively easily? Or perhaps this is a useful feature?

On a related note: one reason for creating a topical db is also that without subfolders in the groups list I am losing the overview of what I have. Would be great if nested folders would be on the list :roll:

all best,

Hi,

There is no way to sync a subset of references from one db to another, it's all or none.
