If I may, I’ve got two suggestions for @norm, both relating to exporting.
This one is to ease life for those coming over from RW: Can there be the option to have a doc auto-saved when an export is performed? I know this feature won’t appeal to many, but if like me you are a longtime RW user, you’ve gotten used to having the work saved when you publish. I’ve been caught out a few times by forgetting to save as well as export. I know this seems like a small thing, but if it’s poss to have an option in settings to perform a save at the same time as an export, it might save other RW’ers form losing work.
The other is to streamline the export process: Is it poss to remove the “publish everything or just changed files” popup? Maybe have the option to select a default in settings with a way to quickly overrule it, like perhaps an export and export everything option? More than a few times I’ve started an eport via keyboard shortcut, moved to my FTP client, done a sync, looked at the published page, found the changes haven’t been applied, gone back to Blocs only to find it sitting at the “full or changed” export popup.
Hello @Norm, I like to add one more feature request to the export process. If you work with multiple projets,it would be nice if the default export path/folder is relied to each project and not global.
So on exporting project A the last used export path for project A is opened and when working on project B the last export path from project B is opened by default. Hope this is understandable?
I just export everything to a general folder called Blocs Exports, so you might find 20 projects in there. When exporting the updated version of a site it simply replaces the one that was there before without affecting the others.
You can that and then rely on your FTP client with a local bookmark to the specific named folder. It all works smoothly, but sometimes I have to change that local FTP bookmark if I save the project with a new name like example_v2. This is because Blocs always uses the project name as the export name.
