Previously, I was using two computers with different monitor sizes and setups and asked about sharing some configuration data between the two computers, but not sharing all of it. Now my situation is different. My older iMac is being replaced by a Mac Mini and a new monitor, so now I’ll have two workstations that are both Mac Minis and using the same model monitor on each one.
I want to be able to sync the configuration between both computers. I have read about Blender’s cloud sync, but we’re in a rural area and there are times the internet connection doesn’t work properly, so I’d rather sync between the two computers by just what’s on my LAN. There’s no problem storing a config file on a network share to make it easy for both computers to read what the other writes.
I also realize I’ll probably have to write a short script to copy the config files from a directory in the Blender setup to a network share and another to copy from the share to the Blender setup on my Macs.
Can I easily share Blender configuration info (including the UI layout) by just copying configuration files back and forth? And if so, which files need to be copied back and forth to keep the two systems using the same configuration info?
(And, yes, I realize I have to make sure I remember to write out the configuration when leaving one computer or I can’t update the other when I get to it. I figure eventually I’ll setup a script in Python so whenever I save a a file or export a STL file, that Blender will automatically run it and it will handle writing out the mosts recent configuration for the other system to load.)
