The other great thing about this is that you can use remote desktop from android devices. The only complication comes from changes being made to the same portfolio by multiple parties (the DM and the player both having the same portfolio open). The DM makes changes while the player has it open, and the other won't see the changes. Player then makes their own changes, and hit save, and they've just overwritten the DM's changes. Proper handling of this would require HL to monitor the file(s) it has open for changes, and when it detects a change, offer a popup to reopen the file from disk. This would provide almost on the fly syncing of multiple Hero Lab instances run from the same install (or even different installs, if the file stores are shared).

(Still makes me wish they'd opted to make a web based UI instead of the iPad interface)
