README

        

* Introduction

This is a tool I made for syncing save games across different machines to/from Dropbox.

 *DO NOT USE* without backing up your saves first. For an in-depth guide please refer to

[[http://blog.refu.co/?p=1375][this blogpost]].

* Usage

Calling the script is pretty straighforward:

#+BEGIN_SRC txt

./steamsaves_sync.py

#+END_SRC

In my Archlinux machine I use [[http://knopwob.org/dunst/index.html][dunst]] as a notification daemon to show notifications in my

windows manager ([[https://i3wm.org/][i3-wm]]).

This script assumes that you also have dunst installed. If you don't

or if you don't want to get desktop notifications for each change the script does then also

add the ~--no-notify~ option to the script.

Once called the script will attempt to check all the save files from the local location and see

if a corresponding save file is in Dropbox. If yes then it will check the save timestamp to see

which one should be kept and keep it. Finally all Dropbox saves will also be checked to see if any

saves are missing from the local directory.
