How do I give a supersite a unique filename instead of index using xara's publish option instead of export option. Thanks.

I may have answered this question in response to your earlier post: https://www.talkgraphics.com/showthr...ertain-changes

Yes you did, thank you. (I didn't see it before I posted this). I don't believe I can delete this post.
I’ve the same question gentlemen, but it’s not a supersite. Can one change the name ‘index’ to a different name?

Bill - You can call your index page any name you want. But if this is your landing page then your web address has to include your page name. So if your landing page is dogs&cats.htm the your address has to be www.mywebsite.com/dogs&cats.htm
The browser looks at www.mywebsite.com and if it finds an index.htm or index.html then it automatically loads that page.
There is some confusion in Xara between File Name (index.htm) and Page Name (e.g. My website for Dogs & Cats)

Bill, you can name the first page in your design as anything: Web properties > Page filename: bill`s most excellent website [instead of index]
You would then have a site URL of hostname/bill`s most excellent website [instead of index].htm & all the site assets would appear under a folder: hostname/bill%60s%20most%20excellent%20website%20[instead%20of%20index]_htm_files
Perhaps you can see the problem.
When a visitor puts hostname (your website) into a browser address bar, s/he is taken to hostname/index.htm or hostname/index.html automatically.
You would otherwise have to advise the full URL or change your .htaccess file to redirect hostname to your fulsome address.
Evan a less extravagant change will still need some .htaccess crafting.
You could instead set up a dummy index page with a JavaScript or META redirect page name without altering anything else.
