I have about 10 default locations stored in WYSIWYG to match the 10 sites I work with. Each site knows which is it's own default location and all is fine. Until recently.

Ever since I upgraded to 16.1 (I think that's when it started - may have been before), when I do a new update, the default location for my sites gets screwed up and I have to reset each of them.

Is this a known issue? Where do you save this information and is it somewhere I can get at to see what it's set to?

cheers

They are stored in C:\Users\.....\Documents\WYSIWYG Web Builder\system\publish.dat

This functionality has not changed in recent updates
But the publish.dat file may be read-only or protected by your firewall/virus scanner.

I'll check it out before and after the next update

I had a quick look at publish.dat and I can't see what associates a profile with a particular .WBS file.

Where should I look for that?

Alan

The publish locations (server, user, passwords) are stored in publish.dat
The project only stores the name of the profile.
So, make sure all profiles have a unique name.

Thanks Pablo.

What if one profile is "GMN Scouts" and another is "GMNSCcouts" - will they appear to be the same?

Alan

No, these should be seen as two different profiles.

OK - it's not that then.

I'll install the latest hotfix later today and see what happens.

Alan

I do not think the hotfix will make any difference. Nothing has changed related to publishing.

When you created the Publish profiles did you give each one a different Description?
I'm pretty sure this is used as the profile name in publish.dat, so as Pablo said, make sure these are unique.
Correct me if I'm wrong Pablo.

Well I've just done an update and all is working as it should. I'll just keep an eye on things and see if I can see why it happened.
