Dave,
My goodness you must be "burning the midnight oil" given the timing in Canada of some of your replies to me.? I think everything is linked up properly - in Help>Locations (on both computers) only Roster and User files now link to Dropbox, but that's OK because I don't have any other custom preferences or scripts or anything and only use DecoderPro, not PanelPro.? Both computers start up properly with DecoderPro and both show my locomotive roster.? I took your advice from?your very first reply and did a copy/paste (NOT cut/paste) of all the files resident inside the original JMRI folder on the first machine and copied them to the Dropbox/JMRI folder in Windows Explorer.? As you said, some will probably sit there forever without being used, but I'm perfectly fine with that.
One last check is for both computers I have to play with settings on a locomotive just so there's a change, and see if that's reflected on the other computer when I start DecoderPro.? Unfortunately I've spent the better part of a day and a half playing with this but now have to step away until probably late next week, so that exercise will be later.
Dave, I marvel at your patience with a non-technical computer guy - I vaguely recall my only formal training taking Basic and Fortran 4 on the old IBM mainframe computers with punch cards back in the 1970's, and everything since then has been a learning curve, some of them?steeper than others!
Thanks again Dave, I'll contact you if any further issues but hopefully there are none.
Regards, Tim
