I’ve published my site and over 500 files were ftp’d to the server. That’s fine, but why does it have to keep uploading hundreds of files each time I make minor changes. I understand some changes might necessitate that, but it seems to happen VERY regularly, and at the office I’m on a slow broadband connection so it take 5 minutes each time I publish. Another example would be making one minor change to a Formlooms 3 page. Say I change the email address for example, it then upload 154 files when I hit publish, and I have to sit there for several minutes twiddling my thumbs. Any help and advice much appreciated. ---

We’re looking into this. Do you have a blog page on your site? —Nik ---

Hi Nik. Yes, I have a blog, but this definitely happens even when I am doing nothing with the blog. ---

Thanks: could you send a copy of your .rw6 project file to us? [support@realmacsoftware.com](mailto:support@realmacsoftware.com) - we’ll take a look as part of our work on RW 6.3.6. Thanks! —Nik ---

I just added a new blog entry, the only change to this project. It’s currently trying to publish 836 files. 8-( ---

That’s great to hear Nik. At the moment I seem to be spending 20 minutes of every hour waiting for several hundred files to upload. It seems particularly bad with Formloom. Every time I tweak a form - even a very minor change - it is uploading over 150 files. Looking forward to the new version 😄 ---

Thanks Nik. I’ll steer clear of the beta but it’s good know it’s being fixed. Rob ---

Here’s what we’ve fixed so far - we’ll be updating the list of changes as things progress, and are aiming to get... @robbeattie Appreciate that betas can make folks wary - however I would point out that you can run multiple RW builds on your Mac (even between 6.3.4 and 6.3.5), so long as only one is open at a time. Would appreciate confirmation that things are fixed for everyone who’s experienced this issue so we can definitively call it fixed. Thanks! —Nik ---

Thats great that the new update will fix it. I’m using Rapidweaver 5.3.2 and I have the same issue. I am hesitant to upgrade my operating system to Mavericks, so I’m stuck with Rapidweaver 5 until I upgrade.
