Since this feature is prone to error, I'd suggest to drop it entirely. I
never use it here. Instead, I'd suggest to change the publishing feature
as follows:


  a)  The index file generation takes quite a long time. As for me , this
      is the only reason to keep this single page publishing.

      So why not just generate the index file, if _new_ (as opposed to
      changed) files are found in the project?

      Otherwise ask.

  b)  Interactive publishing

      Some times it might be desirable to not publish all changes at
      once (e.g. do not publish unfinished changes).

      The publishing mechanism could ask for every file. This could be
      bound to `C-u C-e P' or `C-c C-e i' for example.

  c)  Is it possible to extend the publising-timestamp mechanism to
      exported blocks? E.g. ditaa images take quite some time to
      generate.

That way, publishing a project is much faster and single files could be
published as needed. Time used for publishing would decrease to
something like 10% here (lot's of ditaa images and 59 files).




What do think?
