  1. ==== Using Dropbox to sync your Windower Folder across computers ====
  2.  
  3. 1) Download and install Dropbox if you do not already have it and make an account.
  4.  
  5. 2) Open your Dropbox folder and make a "Windower" folder inside of it. Leave this window open.
  6.  
  7. 3) Open the regular "Windower" folder and drag the folders you want to sync across computers into the "Windower" folder you just made. I sync scripts, plugins, and logs. Leave this window open.
  8.  
  9. 4) Press the Windows Button and type "cmd" without the quotes. Right click on it and choose "Run as Administrator"
  10.  
  11. 5) Move to your Windower directory using the cd (change directory) command. You can use the still-open Windower window to check the path (click the path). Make sure the slashes are going the correct direction.
  12. Example: cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Windower
  13.  
  14. *** At this point, the DOS command line should start with your windower file path. ***
  15.  
  16. 6) Make replacements (symbolic links) for the missing folders that link to the folder in your dropbox.
  17. Example: mklink /D plugins C:\Users\Antonio\Dropbox\Windower\plugins
  18. Example: mklink /D logs C:\Users\Antonio\Dropbox\Windower\logs
  19. Example: mklink /D scripts C:\Users\Antonio\Dropbox\Windower\scripts
  20.  
  21.  
  22. Repeat this process for all your computers. Then when you change a spellcast on one computer it will update it on all your computers. You also use this on other folders/etc. if there are other files you want to sync similarly.
  23.  
  24. If you remove the /D, it will default to making a file link. So if you want to sync the Hook, for instance, you would navigate to the windower directory as above and use:
  25. mklink Hook.dll C:\Users\Antonio\Dropbox\Windower\Hook.dll
