So I have a directory that DMX is pointing to, with setting of "Copy Both Ways". The files have been picked up in the directory fine, and are being displayed in the DMX tool. A user decided to rename a file (from file manager) and when the DMX job ran, it deleted the file completely. So a little confused here. How is this "Copy both ways" if DMX is deleting files that have been renamed? It seems a little stupid to have to copy the original file, rename it to the required name, and then delete the original file.

That could indeed happen. You need to keep in mind that synchronization is not aware of any renames and looks at file timestamps to check if they were modified. In this case the user renamed the file so there was an old file (i.e. with an old date/time) with no copy remote and a remote copy (also old) with no DMX copy. It decided that both were old and obsolete and deleted both. Just for my info here: which version of DMX were you using? And were both the DMX and the remote files deleted or just one of the two?

About Bring2mind

Bring2mind is the company of Peter Donker, a DotNetNuke enthusiast who has been involved with the platform from the very beginning. At the same time as the market for modules emerged, he realized there was no good document management solution for the platform yet and he set about creating this. In part he based the module on his experience with other document management systems he used while working as a researcher. His module, Document Exchange, was an instant success and has since become the premier document management solution for DotNetNuke. In 2004 he created Bring2mind as a vehicle for the module and is one of the few successful businesses solely based on a DotNetNuke product.
