You don’t need to use soft-linking at all, you can tell Things to just choose another library.

Hi Julius,

The short answer is that I have no idea to be honest. I guess you would be able to do this with a nifty piece of AppleScript, but i’ve not really touched much of that…

Sorry, I couldn’t be much use!

This works great, thanks! My only problem is, as known, that if I don’t quit Things in one computer when I open it in the other, there is a conflict. Do you know if there is a way to quit Things if the computer is put to sleep and/or it has not been used for certain time? That would be very helpful, thanks!

Hi Patrick, thanks for your comments. Yep the method Viddo suggests wil also work quite nicely (and much easier than mine), this was a neat little feature added to Things after I wrote this work around. You'll find the full details here.

Instead of messing with symlinks: Press and hold ALT button while starting Things and you can choose where to keep your database file. But thanks for the article.
