As a MetaGrid Pro user, you know the value of smooth workflows and instant responsiveness. That’s why we’re excited to introduce a new feature designed to make your experience even more seamless: Grid Sync! This feature allows you to quickly transfer the grid you’re working on between different MetaGrid Pro instances connected to the same MetaServer instance—effortlessly bridging the gap between your devices.
New UI for Syncing:
• Settings > Controller ID: Specify the ID for each MetaGrid Pro instance on your iPad or Mac. This ensures MetaServer correctly identifies and routes communication to your desired target.
• Sync Button: Located in the Grid Selector popup for fast access.
• File > Grid Sync Command (Mac): Access the sync function directly from the File menu or use the handy Shift+S keyboard shortcut.
How It Works:
-
Initiate Sync: Click/tap the Sync Button or select the Grid Sync command from the File menu.
-
Select Your Target: MetaGrid Pro will show a Grid Sync alert with available MetaGrid Pro instances (excluding the source instance). Choose your target device or simply hit Yes if only one other instance is connected.
-
Grid Transfer: Watch as MetaGrid Pro works its magic. Your grid is sent to MetaServer, redirected to the selected target device, and the target instance switches profiles (if applicable) before prompting you to either create a new grid or update an existing one.
-
Instant Update: Hit Yes or Overwrite, and your target device’s grid is updated instantly—making your workflow even smoother.
This feature takes away the hassle of manual grid transfers, providing you with a fast, efficient, and intuitive way to work across your MetaGrid Pro setups. Whether you’re jumping between your iPad and Mac or working with multiple devices, Grid Sync keeps your creative flow intact.
