A slightly techie solution to what I think you are trying to achieve (?)...... 
For Android/PC/Mac I have used Dropbox / Dropsync to keep them in-sync.
Simply a case of syncing the \sdcard\Skydemon\ directory on the Android with c:\users\<username>\documents\SkyDemon\ on the PC.

This involves a little bit of extra syncing on the PC (between the Dropbox folder and the Skydemon folder) as SkyDemon doesn't appear to allow you to configure where it keeps it's stuff and won't work with a junction point, but on the Mac / Android it's all straight forward.

Perhaps if SkyDemon allowed you to configure where the SkyDemon data directory/folder was located, then people could use (or not use) their cloud storage synchronisation provider of choice..... albeit that doesn't solve for iPad.

Hi Tim,
I kinda lost track on this thread. Combining several legs to one file helps to decrease the number of files drastiacally. However, it would be great to have a "Upload all aircraft to cloud" and "Download all aircraft from cloud" button. Same for routes. I use SkyDemon on the PC for planning, in the tablet for flying only.

Regards,
Johnny

No, not really. For a trip with many sectors, and somebody wishing to save them all and load them all from the cloud, having them grouped into one planned journey would result in a significant saving of time, depending on how many times the plan was altered. To call that benefit "almost nil" is disingenuous.

The benefit of having it in one file has been discussed already on this thread: that there are fewer bits and pieces to save to the cloud and load from the cloud.

You haven't said WHY it's better to handle in several pieces. Having no option to print a PLOG overall is completely irrelevant as that wouldn't exist either way.

Is there a good reason not to have that 5 leg route all part of the same plan?

Shifu,
the best solution in my eyes would be to have SD acting the same way your e-mail account does. No matter where you login (browser, PC, mobile phone), you have the same folders, same e-mail messages, drafts and so on. If you delete an e-mail on one device, it is deleted everywhere.

As far as I know theres a problem with android which does not allow to this feature to be rolled out right now. So, my idea is provide this automatic feature as far as possible. And a "push everything to cloud" and "download everything" would be an enhancement to the current situation, where every part of a 5-leg-route has to be uploaded and downloaded seperately.

Given a computer for planning, a tablet for flying and a phone as a backup, this makes 15 steps (five uploads, ten downloads). thats rather annoying.

Johnny

Hey Shifu, don't hijack my thread :-)

My idea hasn't been discussed so far and I still see a lack of usability. When I want to transfer all the planned routes and aircraft from the PC to my tablet, I need to upload 5 aircraft and about 15 routes (seperately!).
So, a "upload everytrhing" and "download everything" button would be appreciated.
A variant of that would be one button for every type of data, e.g. "upload all planes" and "upload all saved routes".

Johnny

Aircraft profiles are not included when settings are loaded or saved in the cloud. It is things like instrument settings, map layer visibility, and units, which are software usage preferences.

A possible solution would be to have multiple settings files, each one linked to a specific aircraft, so that by selecting a particular aircraft, the settings for that aircraft are automatically loaded.
