You would have to manually select each and every file you want to backup and not forget any folder... Why not make the backup action a real backup action. Click backup. Have a backup. Click restore. Have an exact copy. That would be a backup! :) > And since the command is called backup, and the folder they are stored > in is called backups, I don't want to change the action to "package". > It should all be the same. > > I like the semantic feel of 'package', but like 'looks', I wonder if > that semantic advantage outweighs the familiarity of a more common > term like skin/theme, or backup...

I like the idea of a real backup action and a real package action. >> 2) I attached the two pages as it was a bad idea to upload them to the >> group.

Good idea. The folder listing is not that helpful, I agree. Much cooler would be to get a tree of files with the possibility to select a group for example. But there is a problem. If one lists a field with hundreds of pages, it get's difficult. Idea: What about using the search function? For example "group=somepages*" and BoltWire lists the search results. You select the files you want. Make another search and BoltWire passes the previously selected files to the next search page. When you are finished, BoltWire packages all the selected files and gives you a summary. And if you need the whole field, there might be a simple one click backup/restore action... Just thinking out loud of course. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BoltWire" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
