I was curious why it is not as simple as syncing the .elfeed directory? I've tried this and it doesn't seem to work but it was not obvious to me why not!\r\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/skeeto/elfeed/issues/comments/164898309","html_url":"https://github.com/skeeto/elfeed/issues/131#issuecomment-164898309","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/skeeto/elfeed/issues/131","id":164898309,"user":{"login":"benmaughan","id":10402065,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/10402065?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/benmaughan","html_url":"https://github.com/benmaughan","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/benmaughan/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/benmaughan/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/benmaughan/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/benmaughan/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/benmaughan/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/benmaughan/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/benmaughan/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/benmaughan/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/benmaughan/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-12-15T21:14:20Z","updated_at":"2015-12-15T21:14:20Z","body":"Thanks for the information. I've been experimenting and have found that if I make a copy of my .elfeed directory then tag some entries (say with \"starred\") and quit elfeed, then copy the backup .elfeed directory back again (that has no starred entries), the tags are still there next time I start elfeed. \r\n\r\nThe same is not true if I quit emacs before copying the backup .elfeed directory back again. In this case I see no starred entries, which is as I would expect since the backup .elfeed had no starred entries.\r\n\r\nI presume that this is because the database is being stored in memory and is getting written back to the disk even after I quit elfeed (and kill the elfeed buffer). If this is the case, is it possible to force emacs to flush the database from memory and reread the version on disk?"}}
