I have recently upgraded to the networked version, and I had some real problems getting the slave to see the Server DR14 folder share. Windows 10 makes it really hard, and the section on Networking in the Ez Power manual is probably a decade or more out of date!
I couldn't get the Slave version to pick up the share from the Master (sharing that was straightforward), so after many hours of frustration, I did this:-
- I went to "My PC" Explorer on the Slave and added a "Network Location" to point to \\MasterPc\Documents. However, that pointer didn't appear in the "My PC" listing of the dialogue box to point the Slave to the Master when starting the Slave for the first time, which was most unexpected. Of course the Master didn't show up on the Network section of Explorer either.
- So, after some hours, I finally tried MAPPING the added Network Location to Z: Drive
- At LONG last, I could finally see that drive Z: in "My PC" when I started Ez Power on the Slave and I was able navigate to the EZP folder on the Master via the Slave Z: Drive!
.
While on the subject of setting up a Networked version:-
- Is there any elegant way to synchronise the pics folders across Master and Slaves. It seems a pain to have to manually copy the folder across every time a small change is made.
- Similarly, what is the best way to make the "look and feel" of the Slave match that of the Master. I'm thinking particularly of the Sales Screen Button layout etc, but no doubt there are other settings that need to be mirrored in some way.
Many thanks
