Add support for non-Dropbox locations about mackup HOT 6 CLOSED

+1

It would be useful with something like Expandrive, too.

In TODO.md there is the suggestion of a .mackup.cfg. Is this something that could be a part of that file?

That's an awesome idea.
Like @nZac said, a basic config file is almost in: #49

When in, I'll release 0.4 and that's something that can be worked on.

What I was thinking is a Storage section with the supported engines (have a better name ?)

e.g.

[Storage]
Dropbox

Would enable the actual dropbox engine and its folder detection, as no path is specified. or:

[Storage]
Folder: /path/to/expandrive/folder

Would store the links in the specified folder.

Only one should be enabled at a time, or it would error out.

This is just a rough idea. Thoughts welcome.

Like @chrishas35 proposed, we could also enforce this behavior by using command line args (we should maybe also do it for ignored apps BTW)

Or sth like SugarSync can just take care of all those files without having to ln them and move.

Supported in 0.7.
