Export linked resources, include input data

[mocoxk]

Hi,

I'm working on a multi-server Hop setup where I have all my projects centralized on one machine running Hop GUI, and I want to distribute pipeline/workflow execution across multiple remote Hop Servers.

I've been using the Remote Workflow Engine with Export linked resources to server enabled. This works great for pipelines and workflows, but I noticed that input data files (e.g. CSV, Excel, TXT files referenced via ${PROJECT_HOME}/input/file.txt) are not included in the exported zip.

Is there currently any way to include referenced input data files in the zip?

This is not currently possible, and not sure it will ever be. That could work for small files, but would cause more problems than it solves in a lot of cases (large files, lots of files, ...)

Thanks for the quick response. That makes sense — even if it works for small files, it could easily become a problem at scale. I'll find another way to make the files available on the remote servers.
