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 b) Interactive publishing Some times it might be desirable to not publish all changes at once (e.g. do not publish unfinished changes).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? -- Sebastian Rose, EMMA STIL - mediendesign, Niemeyerstr.6, 30449 Hannover Tel.: +49 (0)511 - 36 58 472 Fax: +49 (0)1805 - 233633 - 11044 mobil: +49 (0)173 - 83 93 417 Http: www.emma-stil.de
