Syntax Check Local issue

Even if it is brought to disappear, the "Syntax Check" poses a problem of consistency in the distribution of data and we have numerous returns by users.

In the workspace, this is not the same directory that is used if there's a Syntax Check "Remote" or Syntax Check "Local" : FttRemoteTempFiles for the first one and FttRemoteTempAscii for the other.

In example, if you do a Syntax Check "Remote", see an error, correct it and do a Syntax Check "Local (only)" (after all you already done a remote access), you'll have all distant copies in error ... but you could Open / View Copy Member by right click on it. Users don't understand that.

Is it possible to use the same directory for fetching remote components?

Or link the two directories in case of any "Syntax Check" ? For example, Syntax Check "Local (only)" with copies in the workspace (whatever if it's TempFiles or TempAscii) or Syntax Check "with Refresh" if a developer want to use the last versions.

    Thank you for taking the time to suggest an enhancement to our product. Many of our product enhancements result from feedback from our customers, so your input is always very important to us; However, your request for enhancement is not currently aligned with our product strategy and vision and we have no plans to address your request in the near future. Again, thank you for your suggestion and continued support.

    A preliminary evaluation of this request indicates that it is consistent with our business strategy. Further evaluation of this RFE is underway.
