Sorry about the previous posts, my iPhone apparently doesn't work on the list
any more...
Chad,
I like that idea. It makes it easier than Blow to only copy the files you need
to copy.
If you have dozens of WP's, and you can't / don't want to map a drive to each,
you can use the \\servername\ia nomenclature with xcopy and it should work (I
haven't tested it but that's what Blow does). IA automatically creates that
share for the D: drive as it loads on each workstation. "Servername" in this
case is the secondary network servername or IP address, not the letterbug. If
you use the letterbug, xcopy will copy files using the Mesh, and you don't want
to do that since it will possibly interfere with control network traffic.
So, instead of
xcopy "D:\usr\bev\*.fdf" "G:\usr\bev\" /d:%DATE:~4% /e /y /i
You can do
xcopy "D:\usr\bev\*.fdf" "\\servername\ia\usr\bev" /d:%DATE:~4% /e /y /i
(You may need to remove the quotes in the \\servername part, not sure)
For each WP in your system. Using the \\servername may be part of the reason
Blow runs slower on Server 2008, so you might see slowness with this method. I
don't have access to a system where I can test this at the moment.

I made a simple script using xcopy to copy any graphics modified on the current
date, set it up as a desktop shortcut so we can just double click when we're
done making graphic edits, and also as a scheduled task running each night at
11:50pm for the ones I forget to copy.
For anyone new to scripts like me, copy the text below to notepad, edit for
your drive names and folder locations, and save as a .bat file. Double click
to run.
REM This script copies all foxview graphics edited today from the D: drive to
all other WP's
REM It is intended to be used by either the engineer manually running the
script after completing work
REM or run as an auto scheduled task overnight.
REM It copies all files and subdirectories in the directories listed below.
