Feature Request: sycn when start

Open zyf0330 opened this issue 5 years ago • 6 comments

I think auto sync when chrome starts is good. Otherwise we must click sync manually on every machine.

I disagree with this, I would much rather update manually than have slower startups. Ideally chromium would offer a --update-extensions flag

Are we talking about one thing? Actually this feature shouldn't slow down boot speed of cvim.

If we are talking about automatically updating the cvim extension on browser startup then this does slow down browser startup. The browser needs the new version of cvim before it can start, which is to be downloaded, which is slow.

If syncing is something different like syncing configs that can be done asynchronously, then disregard my previous comment.

Browser will update extension automatically, not controlled by extension self. We are talking about syncing config of cvim.

Gotcha. I don't mind that if it is configurable.

My preferred way to do this would be to symlink the config file to my dotfile folder, throw that on a git, and then sync everything every now and again. If you really wanted to you could throw a git pull before starting your browser.
