Except that there's a slight problem: modifying a bundle's contents doesn't necessary change its modification date, so my synchronizer doesn't know that it should copy the tmbundle file from one computer to the other. So, if I know I've made a change in the bundle on the master machine, I also "touch" that bundle (using the Terminal or whatever is convenient).
There's a (free, open source) synchronizer which may work well in this case, as it considers the file contents to see if it has changed. It's called Unison (http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/).
Yeah, actually if it comes to that, rsync is right there on your computer and would do just fine. In fact, in some ways it's better, because it doesn't know about bundles and just dives into them like normal folders. However, I wrote my own tool because I wanted my own interface that behaved the way I wanted, and because I wanted to emulate the Finder's behavior when copying (which I do by having the Finder actually *do* the copying). I give it away for free, but I'm not actually suggesting anyone else would want to use it. :) m.
