@ -52,7 +52,7 @@ The desktop entry (`MimeType` + `Exec %f`) makes PLWL show up in Dolphin/Nautilu
Two PLWL installs on the same LAN can mirror each other's content - no cloud, no accounts. Open **LAN syncing** in the sidebar (under Settings):
- **Device ID** - 24 characters, generated once per install (current timestamp + random characters) and re-rollable at any time.
- **Sync code** - 8 characters, letters and digits, case-insensitive. A device only accepts a connection when the caller proves it knows *its own* code; each verification costs two seconds and a device may only have one in flight, so guessing over the LAN is pointless. Both the ID and the code can be re-rolled.
- **Sync code** - 8 characters, letters and digits, case-insensitive. A device only accepts a connection when the caller proves it knows *its own* code; each verification costs two seconds and a device may only have one in flight, so guessing over the LAN is pointless. Both the ID and the code can be re-rolled. A correct code is still not enough: the receiving device shows an **Accept / Decline popup** before anything moves, and without a click within a minute the sender is turned down. Declining (or ignoring) the popup never touches this machine and does not unpair the two devices.
- **Devices on your network** - other PLWL installs, found over UDP; a device shows up only while PLWL is running there, and disappears a few seconds after it is closed.
Pick a device and choose what to push: **portable apps**, **apps imported from a prefix**, **Wine/Proton builds**, **prefixes** and **Default settings**. Only what is ticked travels - a sync without **Default settings** never touches the other machine's defaults. The code has to be typed once - an accepted code is stored next to that device ID, so every later sync needs no typing. If the other side re-rolled its code, the stored one is forgotten and the launcher asks for the new one instead of failing silently.
