Publishing: Specific Page/Changes Uploads...

[ss-kalm]

.....An answer from "on high" about a fix for this would seem a big priority to me ....

I don't think it needs a "fix". Maybe partial uploads would be nice, but it's not actually broken, and it does work.

....So how does one operate a "real" Site where e.g. content will be changing daily over many sections as in an ongoing Course, or worse, multiple never-ending novels?...

You edit it and upload the whole site

Or worse, when gathering content automatically that will also lengthen pages/boxes? (Just realised I can't see how to do that, either)...

Not sure how you anticipate a graphic based site to be edited by gathering content automatically .... Telepathy perhaps! How does it know what you want, and where you want it .......

XWD is a graphic based web designer tool ...... If it's not suitable for what you want, then use something else. I think you are being very unreasonable about your wants for an inexpensive tool.
