ON 2010 and Off-Line Files

[Tom K]

ON 2007 has issues with Off-Line Files. I was recommended through this ng
to put my notebooks in a local folder on my laptop rather than my normal
network home directory so the notebooks would not be affected by Off-Line
Files.

Does ON 2010 have this same limitation?

Thanks,

Tom

The advice was not too good, IMHO.
While it is correct that the ON-files should always be excluded from any
other synching instrument (incl. Offline Files), there is no need to
store the files *locally*.
They can pretty well be stored on a server or any other computer as long
as the storage place is excluded from
Offline Files).

No, things will be different in ON2010. A lot has been done in the
direction of "Universal Access". Pls see David Rasmussen's article

Most of these new features have not yet been implemented. So one can not
yet test them in the 2010 beta.
