Apologies if subject title is incorrect or misleading ...

I have 3 websites built with jAlbum/Neptune. One is built as a single project and using the included uploader everything works quite well.

The other two websites have home pages with menus to access each of the sub-albums (folders). Each of the sub-albums are built from their own project file and the home page (top level) is built from its own project file.

Here's the problem - jAlbum's uploader wants to upload the entire site (all sub-albums) when all I need is to have the home page only uploaded. The sub-albums are already uploaded by their project file. Is there a way to de-select the enclosed folders? My current workaround is to use FileZilla to upload the home page files (index, info page, lifeboat, res folder, etc.

The 2 sites are: tuband.com & zrwon.com.

Hoping there's a simple solution that I'm not recognizing.

Your workaround is the correct one. Use the jAlbum uploader to handle the independent projects, like events, roads, and so on. For the top level, do the uploading by hand.

I have the same situation with my skin demo site, so this is familiar territory. Here's what's happening....

The zrwon project, on its own, has no folders. It sends its output to:

/Volumes/1M2x3/WebDev/zrwon/

If you then ran the uploader, that's all it would upload. It wouldn't see events, roads, etc.

But now, your events project plants its output here:

/Volumes/1M2x3/WebDev/zrwon/events/

Hey, presto, that is now part of the output directory of zrwon. Now, the uploader says, "Oh, this events folder is part of the output of this project, so I need to upload it."

In short, what you're doing is hanging those smaller projects like ornaments on a Xmas tree. The advantage, of course, is that you can preview the entire site locally, and it all works. But it confuses the daylights out of the uploader.

Thought of this but concerned about 2 things ...
1. don't want to "confuse" the uploader and accidentally delete files
2. efficiency of uploading time - i.e. I rarely update the home page and if it's the only page I update, it usually involves fewer than 50 files. It seems inefficient to check the entire site when only a handful of files were actually changed. Main reason I'm asking the question since the only change I recently made was the copyright date - other than the date change and revisiting the info page change, I haven't done much to the primary index file in almost a year.
