Poster 
blah blah blah
I donāt have 400+ images, maybe 100, the rest of the files are php and moreā¦
Itās Poster Stack by @instacks and I donāt have archives turned on. I donāt want dates associated with my posts, and I decided to use only tags, not categories.
The included blog plugin is going to behave totally different than something like poster stack or armadillo will.

Yes, of course, Doug. Armadillo is a totally different animal, as it does not live in your RW file. My point isā¦ warehousing is not uploading my images as they would be by drag and drop/resourcing, and Poster is great as itās compact and light on the republishing. Itās been quite some time since Iāve used the RW blog.
I understand what you are saying @LSPhoto, but this was not the point of my post. My point and @teefers point is that there is that something isnāt working properly with RW built-in blog as it uploads tons of files for every changeā¦ This forum is littered with comments about this, there is definitely something not working properly with RWās core functionality, which is what I am using.

OK. @wvillers are you warehousing? Never heard back on that one.
No warehousing, read my previous posts: out of the 400+ files uploaded after a mere change, only 5% might be imagesā¦

ok. gotcha. Maybe try Poster instead?
Poster looks really nice, I see why you would recommend itā¦ Iām concerned over redoing 6 years of news/blog posts and spend $50 thoughā¦

I love it for the control of a stack. I can see how it would be time consuming to do this. I myself am redoing what I have with new imagesā¦ but the priceā¦ worth it to me.
Ohā¦ you havenāt found the little āconvertā button yet? ā¦ just kidding 
I recently converted my 600+ page blog using the macro program āKeyboard Maestroā - I automated the copying and pasting of all into from the blog page to a stacks ātemplateā page." It actually went pretty quickly once I got my macroās setup and working.

Iāll give it a shotā¦ The blog looks much better with this Poster thing, Iāll check Maestro to see if it makes it less painfulā¦ Or we just might get an intern

Jannis, the developer at @instacks is a regular here and a lot of us are using it, so feel free to post questions
oh, and make sure you use warehousing.

A warningā¦ If you not used to setting up macroās it can be rough to learn on something as tedious as this. But it would certainly train you very well on how to use macroās to automate some takes. I use KM for many āevery dayā repetitive tasks.
What do you mean by warehousing images? Thanks.
Warehousing is when you host your image on your server (or another host) and point to it via full url (path) in RW. Usually you ftp your image up to an āimagesā folder or similar. This is done instead of dropping the image into RW. This keeps project files smaller as the image is not in the project but on the server. You can also ācallā the same image over and over from many pages.

Thanks! Not sure I know how to do that - set up an images folder on my hosting site (not computer) and then instead of the photo being dropped into RW, I type in the path pointing to the folder, then the image name?
/imagesfolder/pictureofdog
letās say? Iāll have to look up how to do that.
Anyway, thanks for the tip.

Iām noticing this republish all files issue a lot. RW 7.5.2. Make a small change, all files publish. Itās not a new problem, but it is annoying.
