Generate modified files This time-saving option lets you generate just those files you have modified rather than generating all gallery files.
About this option
- Use this option when you've made minor changes to an existing Web gallery -- added or removed a few images, updated the theme, etc. By generating just those files you changed, the wizard will update your gallery without having to process all of your image files as well
- All files will be generated regardless of whether or not you've selected the Generate modified files only option, if you create a new Web gallery OR change the name or location of an existing gallery
TIP: To upload new files, check the "Upload only recent files" box in the Step 6, Upload tab.
NOTE: A simple operation such as adding an image to an existing album does impact more than just one page. Because of the inter-connectedness of pages and the gallery navigation, many pages may be affected. Also, modifying a link in the banner will affect all gallery pages so all HTML files will have to be generated again; however, images (which are typically much larger in file size) would not need to be generated and uploaded again.
Please note also that the program may list all files on the left side in Step 5 when the gallery gets generated as it goes through all of them. However, only a subset of them may be processed and generated again. You can verify this by clicking on "View files" in Step 5 after the gallery is generated and look at the timestamp of various files to assess which files were newly generated. This timestamp is used in Step 6 when the program uploads "recent files"' it uploads files with a timestamp that is more recent than the time of the last successful upload.
