    Default Why doesn't MX premium remember my export folder?

    I have repeatedly exported an uploaded my site but each time I do so I have to navigate to the folder where the exported files are stored. I am sure that's not right. Shouldn't MX remember where I last exported to?

    You would think, wouldn't you?

    I'm not sure how hard this would be. Along with your publish information, it would be very helpful if WD would remember your publish folder.

    Careful experimentation shows that it will remember the export folder for the current session but not between sessions. This is a bit daft because uploading is the last thing that I do at the end of the session.

    Is there any application that remembers which folder a specific file was exported to the last time that particular file was worked on?
    Just asking because I can't think of one.

    Visual Vision's Easy Web Editor sort of does this. When you publish the site it creates the uploadable files and then uploads them. It remembers which pages have been uploaded because it only replublishes the altered ones. This is a site that I wtote using EWE some time ago. One advantage of EWE is that it produces pages that reflow the text as you alter the width of the browser window. It seems that WD MX cannot do this.

    Xara Web Designer MX does exactly the same!

    See the Publish tab in Web Properties

    From the help file;
    Re-publish changed files only

    By default Web Designer MX Premium keeps track of the files that make up your published website and when you come to re-publish after making changes to your site, it attempts to re-publish only the files that have changed. This makes re-publishing much quicker in most cases.

    However Web Designer MX Premium does not know if you have deleted or modified files in your web space using another tool. Therefore if you have any problems whereby your published site does not match the locally exported copy of your site, you should arrange for the whole site to be re-published. To do this, turn off the Re-publish changed files only option at the bottom of the Publish tab. Then the next time you publish, every file making up the site will be published, making sure that your published site is up to date.

    EWE is not a WYSIWYG Web designer application.
    Xara Web Designer is
