Features

Buttons and checkboxes

Automatic Selection Buttons

These buttons are automatically selected to apply to the current device. They are also displayed by category. They only affect the selected category.

[^1]: JSON files will be merged with the current one.

How to read the difference report

• When it is thin coloured, it means the file will not be valuable to be applied.
  • For example, the file is the same as the current one, or it is older in version or modification date than the current one.
• When it is thick coloured (like tags), it means the file will be valuable to apply.
  • For example, the file is newer (version or modified) than the current one.
• Automatic selection will follow your preference from the thick coloured files.
• If you want to include the thin coloured file, you should uncheck the Only New checkbox.
• On default, only the selected entry will be displayed. If you want to see all entries, you should uncheck the Only Selected checkbox.
• Once you have made a selection and are ready to apply it, you should click the Apply button.

Configuration

Ignore files

We can configure the files to be ignored by the Usher in regular expression. The default value is /node_modules$ and /.git$.

Non-mergeable files

We can configure the files to be non-mergeable by the Usher in regular expression. The default value is /bookmarks.json$.

Utility

• Duplicate Config folder
  • Duplicate the current config folder to the new folder.
  • Very useful when you want to create a new config folder based on the current one.
• Delete Other devices' config folder
  • This action is tremendously dangerous, but sometimes useful. This action will delete the selected config folders.
  • We cannot select the current device's folder.
  • Deleted files will be moved to the trash.
