I'm trying SiteSpinner and love it but for one fault. My site is being used for displaying images. I have a main page, a series of index pages and the pages displaying images linked from the index pages. When I publish the project I end up with a single directory with hundreds of files. I can't tell which belongs to what. If I make changes I want to be able to remove the redundant files but have no way of knowing which files belong to which page. The only way to get redundant files off my host would be to delete the entire site and republish it. I would like to be able to create a "project" with multiple pages, each page being created separately. What I find is my "scene select" pulldown is so narrow I just about have to number pages instead of naming them to identify them. Lord forbid being able to resize the scene select pulldown width (same with object pulldown). When I do look at the scene select pulldown there are so many pages I can't find the ones I want. Perhaps if I could sort the list it would be easier, but I can't. I haven't seen an easy way or reference to how to link to multiple projects. I think I am quickly making my decision as to purchase or not.

Hi HJ,

The latter part of your posting is similar to the item I raised in

From what I've observed, simple project management is currently a manual process and is certainly something that could do with some enhancement in the future. I've tried the method Derry outlined in the above posting and it works well for me. However, breaking your project in to multiple projects does require you to manually specify inter-project page links.

I guess, if you were to break your project down in to multiple projects then you could have each publish to a different subdirectory on your website. As long as your inter-project links specified the correct directory path then that should work fine. It would mean that your files were separated and you could update just a part of your website at a time.

The VM guys might have some smarter solutions though.

Can't answer this question any better than Bruce already has. To reiterate, we break large sites into multiple Projects. It makes it much easier to maintain.
