I came on one more thing, if it is important - few of pages has many images per page. Maybe 50 to 100 images on one page. could it be some reason that program stay without memory, while trying to read it?

You write that you think it is well organized.
How is it organized then?
What are your 7 main menu buttons - and submenus? 7 Sections and a few subsections/categories?
It would help you (and me;) a lot if you draw a site map/menu map/page map/folder map/file list that shows all main sections/menus, subsections, as well as where those text linked pages are placed in the hierarchy, and on which pages all those images are located.
dpi of all bitmaps are written in parenthesis in the P&L gallery, as well as on the status bar when selected.
Navbar properties pops up when you doubleclick the navbar.
Now you write that you have Designer Pro 6, but previosuly you wrote that you were using Web Designer?
Sorry, I did not see that bloggen went on on next site... So I waited on your answer on previous site. :)
I have main site pluss six buttons more in main menu. /, all together. Two of other 6 menu buttons has submenu.
I will try to explain it simply (if i can) :) - first of the buttons that has submenu is not linked to any site, and it has 2 submenus, that are also not linked to any site. But one of submenu buttons has next level submenu, that is linked to 14 sites, and each of them has own page.
Second submenu button has 6 buttons on next level.
On that last level i mentioned up here, i created on 3 or 4 pages words/links to further level (with no own menu)...
I hope I explained it on proper way? :)
It is right, i used Xara Web Designer 6 to create it all, but i installed lately also Xara Designer Pro 6 trial...
I think Pro versjon handle it all a little bit easier...
A tried to remove mark from site navigation bar, as you told me before, and it seems that menu stays the same even if i temporarily remove some of sites!
I am busy in this days, must do some other job and maybe I must wait with website a little, but I will try that chance, to see if it works! I manged to export all sites, so menu is last point - if I can export it in unchanged shape, then my problem is solved! :)
I found Page and Layer Gallery, but am not sure where to find properties of dpi?
Are you often here, or is it possible to exchange mail adresses, in case for easier contact?
I found bitmap gallery and dpi was 96. I tried also to remove mark from "site navigation bar", but it did not help.
I got new idea now! I removed main menu from some pages, and only kept a link (in shape of word) back to homeside and opposite - a link from homeside to the rest!
But then I got other problem - when i extract "index_htm_files" 2 times (by parting webside in 2), then names of images get changed and i cannot copy all images in same folder.
So I tried another way - I extracted first all pages with menu. then I extracted the rest, but i deleted menu from rest of pages! I left only link to homeside, and words/links between pages that are separated.
But then again comes new problem - unfortunately Xara follows all changes, so none link works between part 1 and part 2! :( I tried for ex. to find index.html on my hdd and to link rest of pages on it, but then it shows page on unreadable way (no images and text is floating in all directions!) :(
Do you have any advice how to link 2 parts if i want to separate them in order to extract and put together again afterwords?!
I hope I managed to explaine it...
Sorry, but it is really hard to understand what you're doing.
I'm sure it would help a lot if you sit down and draw a map of your site, showing menus with submenus and subsub menus.
You should also add some info about what the contents of all those pages are - where are all the photos etc?
It sounds like you're now able to export and preview it, but it gets all messed up?
Because you don't say anything about the content I have to do some guessing here.
I'm guessing that you have 14 photo galleries, where all the MBs are?
I would suggest that you remove all the galleries from the main site.
IOW build the main site without any galleries at all, but with all the other content (whatever that is, and assuming that it is not loads of MBs).
Build each of those 14 galleries as a separate project/page. Just use the default index.htm file/page-name.
However, when exporting you do that to a subfolder inside the main site folder.
Name those folders like 'gallery01','gallery02' and so on, or use some more meaningful names.
The menu on your main site/pages can have link to all the gallery pages directly, and the gallery pages can also link to all the main site pages as well as directly to other galleries. You have to add the links manually though.
From the main site menu the links to the galleries would simply be 'gallery01', 'gallery02' and so on (or whatever the names of the folders are).
Linking back to the main page from a gallery would be '../'
And from one gallery to another would be '../gallery05'.
Linking from a gallery to another of the main pages would be like '../page2.htm', '../page3.htm' and so on.
Quite easy actually.
There are lots of other ways to do it too, but I would need to know more to suggest other solutions.
And you need to do some work on this site map/structure first ...
Hi and thanks on your patience! :) Website content is flowers. All images are only flowers. I attached drawing of menu, because it might take time to find out where in Xara i can get picture of menus... I hope it will follow and that image will give enough informations. :) If it is not understandable, plz say and i will try to do it on better way!
You might not find pictures of menus in Xara, but being a drawing program it does quite a good job making such pictures and lines ;)
The sketch was a good help though :)
I still don't know where all those 700 images are though??
As all those images is what causes your memory problems you'll need top know where they are to be able to decide where to split.
Are there 5 slideshows with a lot of images? Or is it just one show with 5 images?
Are there lots of images on those 14+14 flower pages?
And what about the Flower bindings pages? Lots of images there too?
Will there be more pages added later?
When i splitted website, images ended in folder called "index_htm_files". But since the rest of images was extracted in next round, then they got name of page on the top "...flowers_htm_files" (for example). And there mess starts - some of images in two different folders has same name and different size... maybe it can work, if i keep both folders, but still there is problem with menus, that gets changed.
There is only one slideshow on only one page (page nr.1). It content about 20 images. But as i could see, all images are under 100kb, except a few, that are between 100-200kb.
An exported page is less then main file - it is about 40mb, while main file is 120mb! (if everything is properly extracted)
Yes, the most of images are on this last level, with 14 pages!
On flower binding pages are also many images, but not that many as on flowers (14 pages).
I do not think so that new pages will be added, but some updating should happen now and then...
I tried to cut off all pages that are no in main menu, but content words made as links... Then what was left works well, but i cannot connect the rest! Also written words(links) that are going between this 2 parts that are devided do not work anymore. :(
Xara makes those *_htm_files folders, where the * is replaced by the name of the first page (usually index).
When you split a project it will still generate a folder based on the name of he first page (here: flowers).
All image names are usually replaced by numbers (which I'm not so happy with..), but as they are located in different folders that shouldn't matter.
I'd prefer to split by adding a new folder manually, instead of just putting it on the same level as the main pages.
That's because then it is less likely to be any naming conflicts, and it is also much easier to keep track of what is part of each page/file set.
You could try to split it in two, with all pages except those 28 flower pages in one Xara file/project?
And then make a new project/Xara file/folder called 'flowers', inside the main folder.
Use relative linking like I suggested in a previous post, using 'flowers/flowerpage1.htm' etc, or whatever you name those pages.
Thank you very much for help! It is very important for me to solve this problem and finish site, but i must do some other job and maybe will not be activ with website in some days or so. Are you always here og is it possible to contact you on some other way? Your help and good will was really great! :)
