ShadowPlan Linux / Windows Data Files exactly the same? Sync Linux via Windows?

[bs27975]

Is there anything different between a Windows ShadowPlan file and a Linux one?

If I'm in Linux, using ShadowPlan files stored on a Windows share, then sync that Windows computer via HotSync ... have I just effected a Linux ShadowPlan HotSync? (Since kpilot sync is gone in KDE4.)

Any gotchas?

Convoluted, maybe, but is there another choice?

Seems that would avoid Wine for ShadowPlan, but still needed for HotSync. At least, I guess, one doesn't then have to live in Wine.

Or, as in my case, since Linux is running in a vm ...
(For the moment, can't avoid Windows ... MS Project.)

Nope. PDB is PDB, and the XML is the same; same code does both.

Should be okay; I used to do it, using a vmware windows image to
do the hotsync :)
