External CSS is not updated after making changes to it

External CSS is not updated after making changes to it … This used to work, and now after updating to v5 it doesn’t work any more. I have to manually delete and then re-add the file in the project settings to force it to show the changes. Blocs also does not export the changed CSS file until afterI manually re-add it …

Hi Gary, I rely on this too, I’m going to run some test and report back.

Update: No Blocs does not upload updated css file.
Tried selecting Full Site or Changes Only. Still not uploading

Unchecked Auto embed project assets in new project in Blocs Preferences.

Unchecked Embed Assets in Project File and Blocs did Upload the changed CSS file.
Checked the box in project settings to Enable, Embed Assets in Project, and the updated CSS file was uploaded.

Closed project and quit Blocs.
Edit external CSS file.
Launch Blocs and open project.
Upload website with update external CSS file, Select Changes Only
Updated CSS file was uploaded with new edits.

Seems to be working.

Try this:
You may have to remove and re-import your CSS file one more time.

Uncheck Auto embed project assets in new project in Blocs Preferences.
Unchecked Embed Assets in Project File.
Upload site and confirm changes to CSS file.

Then

Check Embed Assets in Project File
Leave Auto embed project assets in new project in Blocs Preferences un-checked.
Make edits to CSS file.
Upload site and confirm changes to CSS file.

Repeat making edit to CSS file and upload and confirm changes.

At this point I don’t know if the fix will be permanent, but I will keep an eye on it.
I do need both Embed Assets and upload externally edited file to work as well, the latter so I don’t lose images and pdfs.

Hope this works for you.

Hey, thanks for your extensive tests! Since I rely on Auto-Embed and Embed Assets in Project File, I will not change that for now. I will just delete and then re-add my updated CSS file every time I make changes … the “lesser of 2 evils” …

Maybe this issue will be fixed in the next update :pray:
