What to do with Dropbox's conflicted copy items in 1Password.agilekeychain?
I had an event today, where Iogged into a rarely used computer, which does, however, have Dropbox and 1Password installed. Somehow, Dropbox got the synchronization bungled up, and an older 1Password keychain got distributed to all my active hosts. Luckily I discovered 1Password's backup feature, which restored everything to what it was before Independence Day.
Now, however, I have a bunch of duplicate items inside my 1Password.agilekeychain. I am wondering, whether it is safe to remove everything that has “(Dominik Hoffmann's conflicted copy)” in the filename.

I'm sorry to hear that you've been having trouble with Dropbox lately. If you have recovered all of your data on your main Mac, we can simply reset sync to have 1Password re-create that 1Password.agilekeychain file. Let's try this:
On your iOS devices, open 1Password 4 for iOS, tap Settings > Sync > Sync Service and choose 'Disable Sync’.
On the Macs, open 1Password 4 for Mac, and click the 1Password menu, then Preferences. Click Sync, and click Change syncing.
Check the box to remove the data from Dropbox and confirm that you want to disable sync.
Restart the Macs and iOS devices.
Check your Dropbox folder and delete any other 1Password folders or files that the remove data checkbox did not take care of.
On the Mac with your up-to-date data, go back to the Sync preferences, and click Dropbox. Click Choose vault, then navigate to your Dropbox folder and select Open. This will regenerate a 1Password folder in Dropbox, and that will contain a new 1Password.agilekeychain file.
Allow Dropbox to fully sync.
Go into the other Mac, go back to the Sync preferences, and click Dropbox. Click Choose vault, then navigate to your Dropbox folder and select the existing 1Password.agilekeychain file. 1Password will prompt you to merge the vaults. Enter the Master Password of the vault to continue.
Go back into the iOS app and re-enable Dropbox sync.
That should get everything on the same page, without those annoying 'conflicted copies'. Please let me know how this goes!
