I use Chronosync. You can schedule them or run them manually. One way or two way syncs. Control over things I never even knew existed. Lifetime license. Bob S > On Jan 29, 2020, at 15:26 , Matthias Rebbe via use-livecode > wrote: > > Which one are you using? > > - > Matthias Rebbe > Life I

That’s an interesting approach Matthias. Most of my customers save locally to their Documents folder. It’s just a few people using filer servers or Dropbox (iCloud, etc). I wonder, is there a reliable way to ascertain if the file is on a server? Marty > On Jan 29, 2020, at 11:48 AM, Matthias R

I would change your save routine to save locally first, then copy to network location. That should prevent those kinds of issues. On Tue, Jan 28, 2020 at 9:14 PM Richard Gaskin via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > Marty Knapp wrote: > > > I have an app in which users creat

I'm wondering if save stack returns anything in the result so you can check for success? Bob S > On Jan 28, 2020, at 14:19 , Marty Knapp via use-livecode > wrote: > > I have an app in which users create documents (stacks) that auto-save when > they're closed. I have a a few customers who ar
