    Re: Blue ftp Manager

    Vasili, I used the words, files, not pages..............
    Everytime you create an object i.e. a square box, bv names it something
    like bv0001.jpg.

    you publish then resize the box and bv republishes the page, but the file is now called bv0002.jpg or something similar,
    So now you have 2 files for the same object, and 1 is redundant.............

    Try it and see.
    Have fun
    Regards..... David

      Re: Blue ftp Manager

      i have many such bv0000.jpg's the number of them is growing rapidly as i tweak my site...it seems the number grows everytime i hit the publish button...

      acually it's two per..one is bv1025.gif the other bv1025_over.gif (goes all the way to bv2710.gif 500 or more)

      which one should be deleted?
      theres like a few hundred, how do i do a large clean? or is it one by one?

        Ok, I understand that.....but is not my core question still the same? (storage capacity being the issue, certain utilities directly influencing those parameters without prior explanation, and no "failsafe" interactivity with the client?)
        See....if I have that many products, and each has at least 2 images (thumb and pop-up), having the need for a minimum of 200,000 images is nothing! I am in the process of loading 3 carts (thank God I was intelligent to set each within it's own account), and if I am going to be stung with this issue, I'd like to know now to either resolve it before wasting time and money, or migrate elsewhere.....that would NOT be an option for my BV sites, as you know!

        Robyn was being very with her mention of the reply she recieved to her Support Ticket......I found the "solution" offered her rude, accusatory, and insufficient to boot! Very much out of VodaCharacter.....

          My post/point was that after a certain number of files have been stored/published, then you may sometimes not view a certain file.

          Your public directory can hold as much as you wish in memory space, but SOMETIMES your FTP program will only display the last 2000 file names.

          It does not mean to say that you cannot publish more.

          I have seen this question come up a few times in the past and Naval has also mentioned this viewing restriction.

          Any folder/directory can hold as much as you wish, after all Voda advertises
          this and recently have upped the amount of space that an individual account can use..................

          So dont worry Eric, keep loading up your wares, but it would not do any harm if you spread out the load a little, like rings in one folder, other items in another, etc.......this has the added bonus of your links being item related as well......
          Have fun

            BeeBrothers:

            Most objects have 1 bv file, but menus usually have 2 per menu box.
            one for the normal state and the other for the mouseover effect.

            Please, do not just go and delete any files unless you are sure of what you are doing, and even then make sure that you have the original BV files on your computer.
            Have fun
            Regards..... David

              thanks, i'm not deleting anything, too much work has gone into this, and besides, if it works don't fix it..

              thanks

                  beebrothers:

                  My sentiments precisly........for your information, I create a temp dir
                  on my computer and download the bv files.
                  I then republish a page in another dir/folder and this gives me the exact files that I need to delete from the public dir.
                  If I make a mistake, then I still have the originals and also my backup bv page..............

                  take care
                  and have fun...........
                  Have fun
                  Regards..... David

                      My solution was to open a NEW folder and republish parts of my website to this new folder.
                      It means changing some links, but now I can view ALL my files.

                      New pages are then published to this or any other folder.

                      I then went back to my public folder and deleted the redundant files.

                      One problem with BV is that, if you resize an object, bv creates another file when you republish.
                      This means that many objects/file/jpeg/ etc can be duplicated.......

                      BV is like a house, at times it needs a spring clean...................
                      Hi David,

                      Thank-you for the info

                      I think I posted that spring clean thing in the wish list......I book marked this page, and that's what I will do. It's a relief to know everything is ok, just a bit over-loaded and needs some tidying up. I can live with that.

                      Thanks David
                      Thank-you Vasili for all the information
                      You too BeeBrothers
