I used the HTML export often. My site is hosted on GoDaddy; I then manually send the changed HTML up to GoDaddy.

The request I have, is if I go in and edit 1 or 2 pages, or 1 or 2 images...
The export dumps out the entire site, and Not just the 1 or 2 pages and/or its related css/js and images.

Can we PLEASE have this feature?
It makes maintenance much easier.

Thank you!

This is a double-edged issue. While it's true that a simple change to a single page or two makes it seem ridiculous to have to upload the entire website, there are reasons why this could be necessary.

For example, let's say you added a new page to your site and only wanted to upload the new page. That's fine for that page, but all the other pages would not be aware of the new one, so your site's menu would be out of date.

Also, as new versions of Nicepage are released, you have no way to know the full reason for the update, and it's conceivable that only uploading a subset of pages after a Nicepage update might "break" the site, if the reason for the update was to change/fix a problem with navigation or content generation.

Ok. How about this...
If you can't easily export just the changed pages....
How about you match the page's internal last modified date to the file date/time of the output HTML file?
Each page has its own css... so they should sync.
Re-output global css each time with new dates/times, fine.
How about images?
If I didn't change an image in the library, you shouldn't output it with all new dates/times.
