I have been attempting to sync three copies of my Omnifocus.ofocus file (home, work, and laptop) to a copy of Omnifocus.ofocus housed on a secure disk image stored on a thumb drive. However, there is a problem.
I mount the image, point the sync preferences to it and sync, and everything works fine. That is, until I unmount the image, go away, come back again,and attempt to sync. The local file is still syncing, but to a local copy located in /Volumes/Name of Disk Image/Folder Name/ rather than the actual mounted disk image.
I reset the sync preferences so that it attempted to sync using my mounted disk image, which it now refered to as /Volumes/Name of Disk Image 1/Folder Name/ but I got the "versions...are no longer compatible" error. I told it to use the server's copy, and that worked, temporarily, but now I have /Volumes/Name of Disk Image/ and /Volumes/Name of Disk Image 1/, each containing the folder that contains the .ofocus file, the file itself and none of the other content contained on my disk image.
Currently, OF thinks my mounted disk is /Volumes/Name of Disk Image 2/, and is once again informing me that the "versions...are no longer compatible." Is there a way to work around this? What I want is for sync to fail if the thumb drive is not mounted. Would I help if I turned off autosyncing and only manually synced when the drive is mounted?
Thanks,
Rebecca
