Hi Paul,
No luck. All files there are ZIPpped. And they are in the Backups sub-folder.
Also, the projects backups are named so I actually can not tell which one is which. It could ( partially ) help if ( at least ) the filenames of those zipped files had a date embedded in them.
But anyway, this is not what I need. It's of no help to me.
I have to be able to find the full filename of an image that is already on the designed page, while I am designing it. I can't be unzipping the files and then searching for the image that I still don't know what its name is. This misses my point and need.
Also, I should be able to edit the filename while I am designing a page.
The whole problem began when I noticed that when your s/w is uploading the image files, it removes spaces from the filenames, instead of inserting either a dash or an underscore in place of the spaces. This makes the filenames ( meaning ) very unreadable by the search engines, by the designer and by the user.
For instance; the original file could be: "Wiring Of High Power Timer Control", which after the upload your s/w changes to "WiringOfHighPowerTimerControl", so that four words become just one. It should rather be changed to "Wiring-Of-High-Power-Timer-Control" or "Wiring_Of_High_Power_Timer_Control". Wouldn't you agree ?
On top of that, while designing a page, there is nowhere that I can see an image filename on screen and if I go to update the image, all images have only partial names listed, like in this case it would only show: "WiringOfHighPowerTime....", which is even worse.
In many pages, like in mine, the filenames can not and should not be short, because they would not describe their contents sufficiently or clearly. I know that I can do that in the ALT image description, but this is not the point.
The same problem with hyperlinks to files.
Even though I can see a filename, but it also has spaces removed and in addition it is shown in the menu as a partial name, so I can not be sure which file it actually is, if I have several of them with similar beginning, and I do.
I realize that in the compiled code and for hyperlinks there should be no spaces, but there could be dashes or underscores.
I think that best solution could be if there was a selection that the designer could make between: "no spaces" or "replace with dash" or "replace with underscore".
Would that make sense ?
Not withstanding the above, I think your s/w is a very well designed tool and I like it, despite many drawbacks that I keep finding.
I hope you are not becoming annoyed by mine frequent requests for help.
