Fairly self explanatory I think, an option to export a solution, either save it on the remote fs or preferably dump it to the requesting client in .tar.gz format.
I thought I was missing something obvious, I couldn’t work out how to export a solution from the web interface, I could see import but not export… I would consider this of medium importance (and really, how hard could it be to implement?), as I have access to the server and can pg_dump, however not everybody will be in the same situation…
Odysseus:
I would like to add this feature request:
The ability to export a solution from the server through the HTML interface. As I am a roving programmer, it would secure for me the possibility to always be able to get the latest production version from my clients server, even when I’m abroad (not having this solution on my laptop)
I did a quick search in the feature requests forum and didn’t see any matches, so here’s an overdue post
Indeed it’s not very hard to implement but it does cost some time, and the todo and more important feature request lists are very long! Since this is not very high prio it won’t be implemented very soon I’m afraid, unless a lot of people really need this.
There is another way to export from the server. Just connect with a Servoy Developer and use it to export the desired solution. Although it is not safe to edit a solution with two Developers at the same time, doing an export is perfectly safe.
Indeed, for me, it is certainly not a high priority, it’s a “would be nice if” not a “must have” as I can just dump the db, though that is an annoyance. I shall bear the remote connection method in mind in case this slightly unusual situation comes up again (I had to recover the solution from a deployment as the original AND backup HDs died, at the same time).
Is there a publically viewable prioritised todo list for feature requests that we could perhaps vote on? Or at least see?
