HTML export is duplicating files

Chris-Floyd wrote on 3/29/2022, 12:50 PM

I upgraded to Designer Pro X 19 from 17. Using 19, when I export my design to an HTML web site it is duplicating version of many of the HTML pages. I did not have this issue with 17 or earlier versions of Designer Pro X. For example, exporting index.html results in index.html, index 2.html, index 3.html, etc...

Here is the list of pages in Xara, and a screenshot of the output directory the HTML pages are written to. Notice the "2" after most of the pages. If I export again, the next copy will be "3", then "4", etc...

Hi

. . . . when I export my design to an HTML web site . . . .

Can you clarify this comment , exporting and publishing are 2 different operations - which do you mean:

  • Publish to a HTML website (web host) direct from Designer

or

  • Export the site from Designer to a folder on your PC, then upload the folder contents to the web host.

If the latter which FTP program are you using to upload the site?
