I want to launch a local project stored on a clients desktop if they lose their network connection. This will allow them local control over their system. I want to switch back to the regular project launched from our gateway when the connection is restored. How do I make this possible?

This is a feature that is already in our queue. I’ve added this forum thread to the ticket so that when it is done we’ll let you know.

I was just checking to make see if you had made any progress on this issue. It is something I started working on again but can not find a client tag that shows network connection.

Yes, we have added a local client fallback feature to 7.7, so it will definitely be in there when we finally finish 7.7 development.
