Re: Interaction of Pages and Publisher

Not to worry. If you need to update pages, just upload everything other than what's in the galleries/ folder. And even if you happened to accidentally upload the empty galleries/ folder from a Pages export, it won't overwrite what's in your online galleries/ folder.

Using Publisher to update any Publisher managed galleries, all you'll need to do is to update the Publisher templates in the /publisher/templates/ folder. That will automatically apply any gallery updates or any changes you've made (other than pictures).

That's not necessarily true. I've noticed an important difference in how some FTP clients deal with folders, compared to others. Some FTP clients will leave the existing folder intact and merge the contents. Others will delete the existing folder outright, then load the replacement in its place. Still others will give you the choice to Merge or Replace.

So, depending on your FTP client, you could very well kill whatever you've got online in an accidental rewrite.

In case you're looking for an FTP client, I'm using Filezilla. It won't overwrite a full folder with an empty on. Not sure about other FTP clients though!
