How to sync a view from one MC to another?

<< < (2/2)

mattkhan:
Is there other configuration that is synced in one direction only?

dtc:
I just created a new view on a client connect to a server. I have Auto Sync with Server checked on the client. I have authentication turned on on the server. After 30 minutes, the new view did not appear on server. I then did a manual sync (File - Library) and got a message than the client had been synced with the server. Again, the new view did not appear on the server. It does not appear that a view created on a client when it is in client/server mode will be transferred to the server.

I have found that tag changes made on the client will be reflected on the server. Other than that, I make all changes on the server. The MC client/server architecture was original called TRemote, which reflects it primary design. It was designed as a way for a client to control playback, rather than as a full client/server implementation for management purposes. Some management tools are included, but they are spotty. That is why I do pretty much all my changes on the server.

I think you are getting your main question addressed by the various replies here.  But you're also asking a different question, which I'm quoting above.  There is aconfusing bit of overlapping terminology here.

First, there's the mechanism to Save and Load Library Views, found in Customize View > Settings > Saved Views .  This lets you export/save views that can be loaded later, or copied to other Library/Saved Views directories to recreate these Library Views in other Libraries on the same machine, or taken to a different machine to recreate Library Views there.

Second, there is a menu at View > Load / Save View .  This menu has NOTHING to do with Library Views.  Instead, it's a way of saving your screen layout.  Layout includes Tabs you may have opened, as well as Split Views you may have made.  It might save other stuff too; I'm not sure.  But it definitely gets Tabs and Split Views.  These are saved to be later recalled on that same menu, so you can quickly switch to a complex (or just favorite) set of tabs and splits.

The overlapping terminology confused me for months and I only recently figured it out.  Which is why I made the thread you reference above and why I'm responding now.  I hope this helps.

ah ok, yes that makes sense now. I suppose the menu option should really be load/save layout rather than view then given that a view is a specific configuration item within MC.
