    This is true so it will need a random file name generator to ensure some sort of security. Perhaps the client copy can delete the snapshot on download and the designer have a timed dlete of say 24hrs after which it deletes the snapshot from the server.
    Perhaps a form of encryption of the file could be used? Perhaps using the encryption key that Actinic generates per site?
    i.e. in a similar manner to the .ord files.
    Actinic already has the encryption/decryption method available.

    The ability to selectively transfer/backup elements of Actinic (e.g. Orders/Accounts/products/design/layouts/variables) to the server and download and import back into Actinic [securely] would be a very useful feature.
    It would require some date/time/synchronising feature to ensure continued data integrity..

    It would give a far more flexibility for Actinic being run from 2 locations and allow another option for a more secure method of backing up snapshot files externally.

    Just an idea - not completely thought out, however it might add some fuel to the ideas fire!

    In the meantime a working partial design snapshot would resolve a lot of these issues anyway, with minimal additional work as Malcolm has already said!
    Also, sometimes adding what appears to be a simple addition to make things easier can sometimes introduce another level of complexity and one more "thing" to go wrong!

      Now that's were the effort needs to be focussed.

        As Ducan says - this is where ALL the effort should be at the moment as without Designer working correctly anything else is a complete waste of time.
