I downloaded the latest desktop version (16.9.98) tonight because of a hiccup with a dating issue ( Spend cash transactions coming up as yesterday ). In traversing different options I have noticed attachments are here, except they seem to be a cloud only solution? @lubos I do understand it’s proba…

I like to encourage people to use Backup button in Manager. This will produce small .manager file which contains all accounting data. You can have over 1,000 invoices and your backup file (compressed) should be still under 1 MB. If attachments are stored locally, how would the backup work? I mean s…

All points taken and understood. I personally LOVE the backup button. I press it multiple times a day. I usually just allow it to overwrite the last same day backup, but I generally have a backup for each day. I hadn’t thought of the implications of attachments and backup and it’s a very good point. …

Just a thought, I am in favour of scanned data being stored separately from Manager. My preference is to store the scanned data on the organisation’s Local LAN and not to be included with Manager’s default backup data. The scanned data could be managed by the current server system’s backup strategy …

I too think attachments should be stored separately. Path or folders defined in setup. Manager data could have link to document rather than having to store the file in its own database. Up to the user to backup both manager and their attachment files.

Same as me, it totally a waste of time for the producers to work on adding attachment feature while features like audit trail, warehousing and budgeting are outstanding. If you want to keep scanned documents, you can scan into folders on your system and name them with the reference numbers on manag…

Exactly alasdair and as lubos points out the uploading and storage of scanned data must not break the integrity of the current backup process however the management of the scanned data, wherever it may be stored, should be facilitated by Manager to allow the correct record association, look-up and p…

Good point. While working as a corporate software engineer 2 years ago, I developed a system that did just that. The application only stored “links” to the scanned document images. The application database and the document server were backed up separately.

Ok, so I only just retried the attachments again and see that it is recorded locally now? Was this announced? I would have started using it earlier if I had of known :frowning:
