Synchronizing Player Notes across computers

Is there a way to automatically synchronize player notes across multiple accounts and/or computers?

If not, where is the file in both Windows and Mac versions? It's a text file, right? I should be able to just copy it from computer to computer, theoretically.

It's in: City of Heroes\globalname\playernotes.txt

Or it may be under the PlayNC subdirectory. You can just search your hard drive for the name of the file, too.

You can copy it from computer to computer. You can edit it, too, to merge files. I recommend using Notepad++, a free Notepad-like text editor that handles database files better than Notepad.

Yes and yes.
BUT.... if you have made changes to both copies and then overwrite one copy with the other, you will lose the changes you made in the copy being overwritten.

Good call on merging the files. I can do that. What format are they in, are they xml? csv? I'm at work at the moment and can't check.

Where is the corresponding file on the Mac version? Anyone know?

I found it. The file on the Mac version is stored inside the City of Heroes app (right-click, Show Package Contents) in /Contents/Resources/transgaming/c_drive/coh/[your_account_name]/playernotes.txt

Easy enough.

And now I've written a couple of scripts to keep the files synchronized.

Thanks, folks!
