Question about syncing 2 vivaldi installs.
-
I run vivaldi-snapshot on both my 17.04 Ubuntu and 17.10 Ubuntu installs.
Currently I have vivaldi on 17.04 synced.vivaldi-snapshot on 17.10 is a new install with mostly default settings
What will happen if I now sync vivaldi on 17.10 to the same sync account.
I want my 17.04 customization in 17.10 but not sure this will happen. -

The 17.10 will get all the data synced on 17.04

Hi, some information was on Blog entry introducing sync.https://vivaldi.com/blog/snapshots/help-test-sync/
Most important for me is all data are merged during sync, nothing gets lost.
I work with Laptop and workstation and my speed dials got mixed up because of different display resolutions.
Other sync was working fine for me.Cheers, mib

Thanks for the links.
Backed up~/.config/vivaldi-snapshot
then deleted all default bookmarks on 17.10.
Synced bookmarks, passwords and settings on both installs.
Seemed to go ok except Settings which I believe isn't complete yet.I can see how bookmarks, passwords and notes would be merged, just wasn't sure how the syncing of Settings would work.
Just a test... all I'm interested in syncing is bookmarks, Settings and Notes .
I deleted my sync data after the test because I don't want my passwords online with anyone.
Then resynced just bookmarks and notes at this stage. -
Sync is not complete yet.
