Hi,

I use FH on 2 computers (Windows 7 Home Premium), desktop and laptop, synchronised with Syncplicity.

On my desktop computer, I have a watch folder located in
C:\Users\DESKTOP_USER\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Bridge CS4

Same thing on the laptop, except that the username is not the same
C:\Users\LAPTOP_USER\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Bridge CS4

Of course, on the laptop, FH can't detect the watch since the username is not the same.

Is there a way to replace the usernames with a variable, something like that ?
Or any other solutions ?

Thanks.

(By the way, found this typo when installing FH. See picture)

You could use mapped network drives which should work really great.

Create a share on each of the directories then map them to the same network drive letter.  This way, both computers can have the same paths despite the different physical locations of their directory.  I use this at my home with my wife so that she can more easily access our shared documents from her computers.

NOTE: In some cases when the network isn't initialized, the network drives won't map.  If you want to still have the drive letter mapped to a local directory when there is no network connection you can use the SUBST.EXE commandline utility that will map a local directory to a drive letter even when the network isn't initialize.

Brilliant. Mapped network drives was the trick.

Thanks a lot.
