Hello Prezi,
I have just updated my Prezi DEsktop to version 5.
I understand that Prezi PEZ files are no longer accessible!
I can only see what's on My Computer and what is on Prezi online.
The PEZ files are now stored in an unknown location.
This is problematic :
1. I organize my clients projects on my computer in separate folders, which also means my PEZ files are stored alongside my graphic files. I cannot manage them this way. I now see that there is an PEZ export option, that is good, but can I tell prezi not to automatically save it on my computer in an unknown location? I want to continue working on PEZ files just like Photoshop files, Illustrator files After effects files etc....
2. Backup: I have an automatic backup service - that backups all my computers. I know I can sync all prezis with Prezi.com - but I want to have separate backups of the Prezis I own, where should I look for the PEz files to be backed up?
3. Clients Privacy - I have some clients that do not allow me to upload their content to Prezi.com, because of privacy and classification. I have managed all their work only with PEZ files, never uploaded it to PREZI - how can I do that?
Update: I found the export to PEZ button, but I want to know where are the automated copies saved - in order not to compromise them.
4. Disk space: I do not know where my Prezis are kept on my machine.
One of my machines has a limited space on drive C - due to performance fine-tuning, therefore I have all of MY DOCUMENTS moved to another DISK, not C.
I do that to all of my tools - no data is ever saved on C.
Prezi Desktop does not let me control where my files are saved.
So in a while my C drive will ran out of space.
I am a frequent Prezi user, and am very happy with it, but I feel this last change is a bit problematic.
a few suggestions:
1. Let me decide where the "hidden" prezi folder is going to be.
2. Why not make the PreziDesktop be installed in 2 modes:
a. General user: "I am not a computer expert, I do not know where my files are saved, I want Prezi to open up and show me my files, no searching"
b. "expert mode" : I know how to manage my files, and look for them. I have complex projects that involve lots of files from a wide range of tools. let me control how and where I save my projects, and don't force me to save files in unknown locations where I do not want them...
