    Could we not setup an additional tab like we have for wow and toons, for other computers mojo network paths.

    we can even make it and Advanced setting to maintain ease of use for the multitude, and have a button to allow us to push updated info to our other computers Mojo.

    Then we take the respocability off Mojo of having to remember which Mojo was last updated, and put it on the User.
    we can even give an option to push the data to pc's even if the mojo was off, but the PC was still on the network.

    Just a thought.

    What would that tab do? I don't understand.

    That sounds like a good idea, but I'm not sure if it really takes any responsibility off Mojo. As the config screens develop, people will use them and we'll all have a better idea of the issues..

    Sorry it took so long to get back to this question Lost my main HD the other day and had to wait for its replacement to come in.

    However what I envisioned for this tab would do is a place to configure know mojo paths, similar to how the wow tab works to know where the know wows are.

    then when we pushed the mojo configuration files it would use these to know where to push the settings.

    This would not be a master/slave becouse these settings could be done from any Mojo and pushed to any other so long as it the other mojos were configured in the Mojo tab.

    example in a 3 machine environment (provided you had all 3 configured on all 3 machines)
    1 could push to 2&3
    2 could push to 1&3
    3 could push to 1&3

    I misread this. I'm going to write a new reply.

    Each Mojo already knows about the others. They find each other automatically. The Computers tab shows other Mojos. It's called "Computers" instead of "Mojos" because I thought the name "Mojos" would be confusing in this context.

    Mojos don't remember anything about each other. Each Mojo only knows about another while the other is running and they are connected. It's done this way because it guarantees that every Mojo's info about the others is correct. By designing it this way, a whole class of errors is prevented.

    This would not be a master/slave becouse these settings could be done from any Mojo and pushed to any other...
    I agree.

    By the way, in order to copy info from a local PC to a remote PC, the local Mojo needs the IP address and/or hostname of the remote Mojo, not the pathname. The local Mojo needs to ask the remote Mojo to save the settings, and it does this by sending info over a socket connection, not by doing anything with the remote PC's hard disk.

    There are two reasons why a Mojo doesn't mess with the hard disk on a another computer.

    1. The OS on the PC where the hard disk is located may not allow another PC's Mojo to read or write the file. (Mojo runs with admin privileges but they only apply to the PC where that instance of Mojo is running.)

    2. If more than one Mojo could write to the same file, the file could become corrupted or out of sync with other data.
