#1 pet peeve.....
Hey.....
I have been a fusion user forever......
Here is my #1 pet peeve...........
When I use the "Export as Template" command....I sometimes get this message
"unable to create complete template... the following assets are missing"
Well, sometimes they are not missing and sometimes they are.
I would like an option to create the template with missing assets......
My thought is a template with a few missing assets is MUCH BETTER that no
template at all.....
I use DreamWeaver sometimes just to avoid this problem......
Thanks for your time!!!
Just had to get this off my chest!!

Re: #1 pet peeve.....
The export template feature is like a site backup, it will take all your
stuff as of the time you do the export and save it. So, the verify assets is
there to ensure that you have a complet and full backup. Nothing is worse
than trying to create recreate a site after a HD failure without a template.
Also, if the asset has moved from it's orginal location it will produce this
message so you need to point it to its new location.

Re: #1 pet peeve.....
Why export a template with known problems...why not just fix it.

Well I got a message saying the missing asset was (dialog with all the
fields blank) - makes it hard to fix
(I fixed a couple of real issues and then it stoppped telling me about the
imaginary ones).

Ken,
Haven't had the pleasure of getting that dialog box with the fields
empty.....but I do know that a similar occurrence has been reported to
support.

Sometimes you can fix that by creating a dummy asset with that name and
pointing the dialog to it. Once NOF has gotten the idea, you can usually
delete the dummy asset without further issue.

Re: #1 pet peeve.....
I'm back.been really busy....
I have read all the comments and I think we are getting to the point....
I have setup a site with (really) missing assets see attachment.
When I get the Missing Assets Box some or all of the of the assets have
addresses that are to long for the dialog box..so I'm not sure what asset is
missing....if I could expand the box so I could read the full address that
would really help....
Then I could remove the asset and re-insert or what ever to make it work...
All of this is time comsuming and frustrating for me...
So would really like the option to save template with missing
assets...............then I could go back when I have some extra time and
investigate the prob..
Thanks for all you comments.....

Re: #1 pet peeve.....
I have a few sites that use external files - Same problem. It won't allow
me to create a template. Personally, I don't even know why it considers
these external files assets in the first place.
