WEBBuilder Publish to WEB enhancement

Post by SilverHand »

Hi everbody. I think that good idea is enhace functions of Publish to WEB feature. Thats great function and will be better and more usable.
If I am working on some project, and I want to upload changed files I can only select Image.

Imagine that "today" I can change many files except pictures. So why to upload it all again? I suppose that if u make two new options. One like "Changed in last XX minutes" will be more helpful, although together with input box with number of minutes and it should although remeber the last selection.

And second one more powerfull "Compare to FTP". That could mean, that WebBuilder will compare files on HDD with those on FTP and upload changed ones and new ones. Becouse, if I copy(move) into project folder some picture made may be before week, than this file will not be in none of filters above, becouse his change time is too in past. So than u must use again publish all files and it will take more time, or reopen new file and save it again to change its time (usable only with few files. If I copy may be 50 files like I did, it is noncence.)

Last thing, is to enable some Publish to WEB options an d put there option for "Ovewrite files..." message. With options: "Overwrite all", "Overwrite none", "Ask for ovewrite". So If I change in options to "Overwrite all", than if I click Publish to web no more message will apear. I know that this is only one clik more, but if u must do that 5 times in minute when debugging code on WEB that it is anoying. Together with it u can add option "Automatically upload by filter" and there I can select which files will be put on FTP for every click by Publish to WEB. So we will be able to automatically upload all files changed in 2 minutes back and no more dialog apears when clicking Publish to web.

These will be big help for pruductivity work in WEB Builder.

Thank you and keep very good work you made on WEBBuilder 2008.

Nice post, I like your suggestions also. The "overwrite" dialog is something I wish I could disable.

Just FYI, here is a small clip from the release notes that Karlis posted in the announcements section:
