Exporting and Importing Web Projects

Post by crazycracka »

Hello,

Im looking for a best practice for creating new versions of web contact for each version of our software.

For example, in Jan, I have version 1.0, this is my base project. In June I have version 2.

I would like to have two projects for this.

What is the best way to do this?

I tried exporting and then importing but it didnt work well. Then I exported as a Zip. When I opened it as a zip, I see all the pages are linked. So, I have a popup everytime I try to save a page.

Im doing something wrong here, what is it?

Thanks in advance.

I just tried creating a new project based on an existing project (File | New Project then select your existing project) and it copies all the content over. Just give it a new name.

Two other easy methods if the export/import functionality isn't working well:

1. In your filesystem, just copy the existing Flare project directory (with its flprj file and its Content and Project directories too) to a different directory. Flare is pretty forgiving when you move around the entire directory.
2. If you use a source control app, you can use its Branching feature to branch version 1 to version for you (essentially copy/pastes to a new location).
