    I would just make it click via tooltip or something that information shown for other mojo's is INFORMATIONAL ONLY, and that each mojo must be configured independently.

    Which makes perfect sense btw - when I switch computers (via Input Director software KVM) - the new computer "owns" the keyboard and mouse - so do I want keystrokes to be broadcast from the "current" master?

    Master is whatever has "focus" at the time. Once you start thinking this way, its quite simple. Assuming most people use HARDARE KVM switches to manage multiple PCs on one desk, this makes perfect since anyway...

    How would you deal, for example, with setting afinity for a particular instance of WoW?

    Let's say that WoW runs on PC 3.

    Can you set that option for that WoW on PC 2?

    How can you be sure that PC 2 and 3 are identical hardware? (you can't). If you really want a central "launch" WoW - I would configure it like this.

    Make it so each "mojo" can see every other mojo's running copies of WoW. (And SAVE them for future refernce).

    Whenever you want to launch mulitple wow's on seperate PCs, just highlight them all (ctrl click?) and "launch" them.

    that way any copy of mojo can luanch another copy of WoW on another machine, provided mojo is runnin there already.

    This would keep your "no master no slave" setup.

    as far as affinity goes, you'll maybe.. right click each wow config and set it there? remote mojo config from another mojo? have it save on the local mojo for each wow?

    And I STRONGLY advise against all this "pushing / pulling" config nonsense. If you do that, you'll basically be moving to the master / slave setup. I like the concept that there is no master or slave.

    They wouldn't need identical hardware. The only hardware that would be taken into account is the PC that the program is going to run on. The PC you're typing on wouldn't matter. (I'm not saying I'm going to do this. I was only asking what you thought about it.)

    I've been thinking pretty much the same thing with one difference. I don't think there's any reason to save the info on other PCs because the other PCs can only use the info when they are connected to the installation PC, and if they are connected, they can just read the info in real time across the network from the installation PC.

    I'm glad you like that concept. I like it too.

    But I don't think pushing configs is master/slave. Unless I misunderstood it just means "copy settings from one PC to another."
