Re: Can I synchronise my static desktop to a mobile laptop ?

Morning Tatewise, thanks for the confirmation.

Yes, I understand from what you have said previously, the need to migrate settings using your plugin, if I modify customisations in the future.

Thank you very much for your help.

Re: Can I synchronise my static desktop to a mobile laptop ?

Tatewise, I think you have answered my question, ie that OneDrive does not deal with Media (jpeg files) separately from the rest of FH files. So, as I don't intend to store my high resolution photographs in OneDrive, I can delete Pictures from OneDrive retaining only Documents. Arising from discussi...

Having gone through the FAQs etc, I'm pretty sure that my next move is to press the "RESTORE all FH Custom and Preferences Settings" button, albeit RED. If I do so and then am not confident to continue, can I come back out again?
