Nothing for Director runs faster of Valentina.

Unix we do not support YET.
But I think this is deal of few months.

I see now.

Right. This is because V4MD LOCAL which you test is NOT
And probably will never be as SW safe Xtra.
No sense.

Only V4MD_client will be marked as SW safe.
And it will require Valentina Server.

Right. The only folder.

Roland have answer this:

The dswmedia folder ( mymovie\dswmedia)  on the client machine is the only
in which the dcr is authorised to read or write files.


> Do you tested Valentina in a such environment?

I have not test it in this way.

BTW, FYI, V4MD_LOCAL xtra is MARKED as SW safe.

This is not very correct, as I have told,
But probably can help at least load it into Browser.

So let me clarify.

You still think about SINGLE USER access to db files, yes?

You self will put DB FILES to EACH client computer, yes?

Clients will not try to reach some Server based db files, yes?


Well, then only problem ro resolve for you:
    a) make browser load V4MD LOCAL Xtra. I think it should
    b) put db files into that  ( mymovie\dswmedia) folder


Anybody have try do this before?
