Question about Scheduled Send/Receive

Question

I was just experimenting with scheduling a Send/Receive, and I couldn’t find an option to tell Paratext where to do the scheduled Send/Receive (e.g., Internet, Network Shared Folder, etc). Are Scheduled S/Rs to the Internet only?

I was hoping to do one to the Internet and one to our local server so that I could automatically keep things in sync with the local server AND the Internet.

I can see this being useful in a number of different contexts too:

-A multi-language project with limited internet. Set all of the computers to do a scheduled S/R to a Chorus Hub, and then have 1 computer do a scheduled Internet S/R.
-In Ukarumpa, our computers are not always connected to the Internet (we have to login through a Captive Portal to get internet access), but we do have a Network Shared Folder that is local. Being able to have all translators automatically S/R to that network shared folder could help prevent data loss and help ensure better backup practices.

I can submit a feature request if that would help.

Thanks,

Answer 1

The scheduled Send/Receive always uses the last source that was used from the normal S/R dialog (i.e. if the last S/R used a network shared folder, then the scheduled S/R would be to a network shared folder).
