Working on synched stations

Hello,

I've got two computers synchronized with Dropbox. I keep my Wireframe Sketcher projected in the cloud. But it doens't open on my second computer. It opens file structure and basic elements but loses data about components from assets.

Do I do something wrong or it's application fault. And if the later - will it be fixed?

Thanks!

Hi Piotrek,

Can you describe more exactly what are you sharing? WireframeSketcher's workspace is not meant to be shared so placing it in Dropbox folder will not work well. However, you can share individual projects, for example using symbolic links from Dropbox folder. You'll have to import those projects on the other instance of WireframeSketcher using File > Import > General > Existing Projects into Workspace.

However the recommended way to share things with WireframeSketcher is to use version control. CVS, Subversion, Git work. This way you can share projects and you also track the changes to your files. If you are using WireframeSketcher Studio then see this section on how to install version control plugins: http://wireframesketcher.com/help/help.html#wireframesketcher_studio

Please let me know if you need more help with this.

Hi there, could you indicate a free version control add-on? I tried to install one from eclipse.org and it came up with an error message...? Any recommendations for a specific add-on that works with your latest release?

OR: we have the same scenario here, where I want to be able to work on one specific wirefram project from the office as well as from home and have the files on the cloud. I tried with Jungle Disk and it's a mess.

Any input is welcome, as it would save me to RDP in each time...

Hi Markus,

Which add-on have you tried to install? Make sure you enable Indigo update site first as described here: http://wireframesketcher.com/help/help.html#wireframesketcher_studio/installing_plugins

Here's a list of plugins that work with WireframeSketcher:

• CVS - available directly from Indigo update site
• Subclipse - http://subclipse.tigris.org/
• eGit - available from Indigo update site

I recommend Subclipse which is a plug-in for Subversion. I found some tutorials that describe using Subversion with Dropbox: http://viralpatel.net/blogs/2011/03/dropbox-svn-subversion-repository.html

eGit is also good and will let you work with Github for example. Please note that you need to be familiar with version control systems since their use is not trivial.

To install a plugin from Indigo repository do the following:

• Select Help > Install New Software...
• Select "Indigo" from Work with drop-down
• In filter text type "cvs" or "git" and then select the plugin from the list below
• Finish the installation

Let me know if you need more help with this.
