Full Upload after importing Snapshot

[AndyBorrett]

I've been doing things this way for years but I am wondering if I am doing something wrong or if there is a better way to do it.

My main computer is used for the day to day running of Actinic downloading orders and uploading changes.

I also use a laptop that I import a snapshot from the main computer, fiddle around with the design then export it back to the main computer.

The problem is that when I import the modified site back into the main computer and upload it uploads all the images as well even though they have not changed in any way.

Is this normal behaivour for Actinic or am I doing something wrong?
Would it be better to copy the Site1 folder rather than use a snapshot?

Yes.
Copying the Site1 folder will not change this.

Actinic sees all the pages as being changed when importing a snapshot. This is due to the unzipping of the acd file as all the files get a new timestamp, an inherant 'feature' of the zip/unzip functionality.

A workaround might be to 'refresh website' and exclude images, that may work.

I thought about the refresh rather than upload but thought I'd end up with the same problems next time I did a 'normal' upload.

I'll give it a go next time.
