I would run each group in a different copy of the same realm due to issues with reveal, personally.

Why is the default response when people ask about stuff is, if I don't need it why should you?
I got the same response when I asked about being able to link to files on my hard drive without RW trying to save a copy to the realm. |

Sometimes the response isn't I don't need so you don't either but I know that no changes to the program are happening right now so this is a viable alternative.
In your case, RW is designed to be used on multiple computers so linking to a file on your computer simply is outside the programs paradigm. my Realm Works videos https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZU...4DwXXkvmBXQ9Yw |

That's the same excuse just reworded.
Every other program does this and I know I'm not the only person who only uses RW on one computer. Why can't there be an option to choose either/or? This kind of narrow thinking makes me want to scrap using RW and just go to Onenote or something. |

Also not sure what impact it will have if I triple the required realm works space. Probably nothing, but copying data to the laptop, synching (as long as it's included) will all take a bit more time. How do you handle your multiple realms? How do you manage the export / import hassles between the realms?

I Don't presently run more than one group in any one realm. when I did I maintained a master realm where did all creation of new content. Before every session I'd do an export of content without the export tag as well as changed content (I had to remember to mark stuff as changed a utility tag I added), on both topic and article sides, then import that into the realm for the group I was running next.
It was a massive PITA and it didn't always maintain reveal status or even work. The fact is RW badly needs individual reveal and a host of other features but until the CM finally launches were stuck. my Realm Works videos https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZU...4DwXXkvmBXQ9Yw |

What irritates me is limiting options because it doesn't fit the vision on how they want you to use the program. It falls into the same category of 'I won't use it, so it shouldn't be an option.' Admittedly I haven't tried to link to a file since I had to original post, so if it works now i wasn't aware that it had been implemented. |

I can confirm that it does work now. So that's one think I can stop being salty about.

So I just read that old thread and it looks like Rob and David did try and help you inside the way RW worked 4 years ago. Either you didn't understand their explanation or simply didn't like it.
I will point out that the solution you have fixated upon will eventually break your realm. Sooner or later your PC will die and rebuilding it exactly as it is today will be impossible. You'll eventually be able to track down that the PDF's are in the wrong place and get them back in the right place but if they were in a Dropbox or Googgle drive the realm would just work seamlessly after RW was reinstalled. my Realm Works videos https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZU...4DwXXkvmBXQ9Yw |
