Martian SlingShot 2.0.3 is utilities software developed by Martian Technology.
Martian SlingShot makes the process of keeping files in sync between two or more Macintoshes as simple as a few clicks. By incorporating Apple's "Bonjour" technology, SlingShot makes finding and connecting to other computers on a network easy. SlingShot supports both simple one-way "mirroring" of files from one computer to another, as well as more complex two-way synchronization arrangements, in which files are updated on all participating computers.

Use SlingShot to Publish your folders from one Mac, and then use SlingShot on your other Mac to Subscribe to them.

With mirroring, SlingShot allows one computer to "Publish" a folder onto the network. Other computers then "Subscribe" to that folder, and SlingShot makes sure the subscribers' copies are always identical to the published data automatically. This allows users to be sure their data is always backed up and available on the other computers.

With two-way synchronization, several computers can contribute changes to the Folder. whenever a change is made to the files on one of the participating machines, the updated data is automatically sent to the others. No matter where work is done on the files, all the computers will be kept up to date.

Limitations:

  • Unlicensed users can publish and subscribe one folder per computer.

    What's New:
  • Added ability to Publish and Subscribe iTunes Playlists
  • Fixed a bug where if SlingShot was started hidden at login, syncs wouldn't start until the app window was opened
  • Added a new "Welcome" screen showing how to get started with using the app
  • Fixed a bug where the "cleanup" phase when dealing with many resource forks could take many minutes to complete
    UI interaction bugs fixed:
  • CMD-W can be used as it should be, and can close each of the windows managed by the app
  • Bug on removing password for a published playlist fixed
  • Enter can be used to hit the default action in all windows.
