When the Local Copy checkbox is ticked in the Settings, Internet screen, all the files that are changed by CumulusMX (including the NOAA reports) get copied to the local copy destination EXCEPT those in the Extra Webfiles selected for Upload. It would be great to have that 'Upload' also honor the Local Copy option if enabled.
BTW.. THANKS for adding the Upload button to the NOAA Month and Year dashboard -- it's very helpful.

Re: Suggestion: add Local Copy option to Extra Webfiles
I'm wondering how this would work.
So, in addition to the existing copy function (ie Upload not ticked), you're suggesting that if the local copy option is enabled, then items with Upload ticked should also copy.
In that case should the remote path for those items be taken as relative to the local copy root folder? What if the user has an absolute path entered?
I would probably just append the extra items remote path to the local copy destination root.

Re: Suggestion: add Local Copy option to Extra Webfiles
I'd suggest the default if 'upload' is checked, then a local copy would be done to the path the local copy is set to and would be copied if 'process' and 'upload' are both checked. That way, the local copy would behave exactly the same as the main upload for all the standard files.
