Can I somehow move my current auctions and snipes that are set from on computer to another and retain all the snipes?

I have 20 auctions in my current list – ten of those have snipes set for them that need to trigger from one to five days from now.

I’m going to be away from this Mac where I have the snipes set up and will be at another Mac (in another town) for seven days.
Is there any way for me to take these auctions and snipes I have set up with me to the other Mac? Either via email or by storing them on an external hard drive that I will boot from at the other location.

In the past, I just let the auctions run on the original mac – that works fine as long as I don’t decide to cancel a snipe which of course is impossible if you’re not on the computer where the snipes are set up. That’s why I want to move them – preferably without having to enter them again at the remote Mac.

You just need to copy over two files to the other Macintosh to preserve your settings/auctions. Because the files are in a hidden directory, the easiest thing to do is:

On both machines

• open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app

• type: ln -s ~/.jbidwatcher ~/jbidwatcher

• quit

• copy jbidwatcher/JBidWatch.cfg and jbidwatcher/auctions.xml from your home machine to the other Macintosh via email, CD or whatever

• (remember to do the Terminal actions above, on the new machine too)

• place the copied files in the jbidwatcher folder in your home directory

JBW should now be good to go.
