Save As

Not sure exactly where to post this si I will start here. It would be useful to have both save and save as buttons on the edit screens for system and macro files. Then you could not only save it to the SD card you could save a backup on your computer. In that regard it would also be useful to include a file download button on the system and Macro folder screens for the doing the same thing in bulk. I know I can use the SD card and a computer to do this but on my build it is not that easy to get to the SD card, so just a suggestion. Thanks

I use a Windows Text Editor that supports FTP to maintain the files on my printers.
The editor treats files on an FTP server the same as if they were files on a local hard disk.
So you have access to all of the features of the editor which likely are much better than the DWC editor.

Thanks, Interesting. I got it working. Since I am inside my home network I assume this is a secure connection? Is that correct? I know FTP is a pretty obsolete protocol and as a general rule is not very secure. Thanks again and I look forward to any other comment you might have.

It's not secure but it's on your own network so how much risk can there be. I certainly don't worry about it.
The editor I use allows configuring the FTP connection to make .BAK files on the printer and/or copies of the printer files on the computer. Once the files are on the computer I can back them up whenever I want.
