On my desktop copy of SkyTools, I made an attachment folder called "My Sketches" and attached a few sketches I had made recently of Jupiter, Saturn and a few interesting double-stars.
I shared my %AppData%\Skyhound\SkyTools 4 folder so my laptop could see it and then I tried to synchronize my laptop copy of SkyTools to my desktop copy using Tools > Sync Databases command.
I checked all the boxes (including Attachments) and then selected my SkyTools 4 folder and started the sync. Some kind of error occurred, and the sync operation failed with an error.
Now, my laptop has my observing lists, notes and even the My Sketches folder. But the sketch images didn't come across. I repeated this a few times with no more success.
Two Questions:
1. When you attach an image, is it copied into the %AppData%\Skyhound\SkyTools 4 folders where the sync operation can access it? Or, do I need to share the full path to each image as well?
2. Is this the right way to attach my sketches to the objects I've observed? Over the years, I probably have a dozen Saturn sketches. I was hoping to organize them all in SkyTools so I could see what I've observed on other dates or what I'm likely to see tomorrow.
