* Introduction
This is a tool I made for syncing save games across different machines to/from Dropbox.
 *DO NOT USE* without backing up your saves first. For an in-depth guide please refer to
[[http://blog.refu.co/?p=1375][this blogpost]].

* Usage
Calling the script is pretty straighforward:

#+BEGIN_SRC txt
./steamsaves_sync.py
#+END_SRC

In my Archlinux machine I use [[http://knopwob.org/dunst/index.html][dunst]] as a notification daemon to show notifications in my
windows manager ([[https://i3wm.org/][i3-wm]]).

This script assumes that you also have dunst installed. If you don't
or if you don't want to get desktop notifications for each change the script does then also
add the ~--no-notify~ option to the script.

Once called the script will attempt to check all the save files from the local location and see
if a corresponding save file is in Dropbox. If yes then it will check the save timestamp to see
which one should be kept and keep it. Finally all Dropbox saves will also be checked to see if any
saves are missing from the local directory.
