Check Out?

Laserfiche

Updated September 21, 2016

Not sure if this changed or its a setting I need to find...but in previous versions of Laserfiche...I could check out a document, chose to store it in a folder my desktop, and when I went to that folder, the documents I checked out are listed there...now it seems it wants to create a subfolder for each document I check out. I have clients that want to check out a packet of documents to take onsite for a visit...having them in separate folders doesn't work as cleanly as we'd like.

Thanks!

It is done this way because there could be temporary files that go alongside the checked out document, for example the Office Plugin has it own helper files that store metadata while the document is checked out. The only way to clean up properly after checking in is to put everything in a separate subdirectory.

I noticed when checking a document back in that the document itself is deleted from the local drive location, but the folder in which it resides does not get deleted. Why is this?

I'm not seeing this behavior, what kind of document are you checking out (office vs non-office)?

It could be that the folder is in-use when the client tries to delete it, for example if you are viewing the folder with windows explorer.

Robert, yes I had the folder view open in windows explorer. I tried again and checked out two docs (one versioned and one not) and the folder was deleted when I responded YES to the dialog box. So this is working as it should now.

The only difference is that the first checked out document (that didn't delete the folder on check in) had been checked out since 9/16/16.
