Re: How to save after getting dropped from host

It does indeed Brian.

The file that I had tested with earlier was still open in RDi - AND the server was connected. Tried the Save As again - same result - only local destinations.

Made some changes to the source member and submitted a compile. Compile results came back. Tried Save As again and VOILA! all connections visible!

I can only conclude that this is similar to the RDi bug where one of the connections it uses is open and active but another isn't due to time-out or whatever. Doing the compile apparently caused to reset some internal flag that changed it from working locally to working remotely.

I confess I have experienced similar problems in the past - but like you, I've not been able to repeat it. (I've got around it by recovering the source from RemoteSystemsTempFiles.and saving to the server once connectivity has been re-established.)

I was trying a simple test by just disconnecting from the server once the member has been opened. I guess the "bug" only rears its head if there is an actual network failure - something I can't easily reproduce.

The Plot Thickens!

There must be some weird bug in RDi that causes this Brian.

I was certain that I had done what you describe - but also remembered having issues in the past. Sure enough when I checked it for Roger's question I found I couldn't do it.

It appears that if a) A member is open and b) the connection subsequently drops then even if the connection is made again then RDi subsequently treats the file as being local and will not offer anything other than local destinations for Save As.

This problem is also responsible I think for some of the occasions where I have edited the source, saved it as normal, and then compiled - only to find that what was compiled was the old version of the program. When this happens sometimes a restart of RDi has cured it - at other times it requires creating a new member and copying the content of the original in it and saving it that way.

I've never reported it as a bug (although I've mentioned it to the developers) because I can't get it to repeat on demand. It just happens sometimes.
