We use OLE while working with OEE. We need to download and keep up-to-date rather big quantity of sites but are simultaneousely limited in disk space. Does OEE give an opportunity to store sites` structure rather than storing all files downloaded from the WEB including htmls? What we need is to be able to download only new or modified files from the sites without physically storing the whole site locally.
We`ve tried to delete project files without deleting project itself (a project for downloading a site, which is managed by us), then we`ve modified few files on it and afterwards we`ve restarted the project download, but the modified files were not downloaded (actually there was no action at all).
Thanks in advance

There is a way to do that. When you delete downloaded Project files (not the project itself), Offline Explorer Enterprise will ask you whether you want to keep the files information in a database. If you answer Yes, then the next download (using the Download only New and Modified files in the Project Properties dialog) will get only changed files.

Are you sure it works? As I said we had downloaded a site, modified some pages on it and tried to download it again, but nothing happened.
Can you explain how the OEE works when the project files were deleted ( without deleting information about them ) and user wants to download only new and modified files? If I am doing something wrong, it will help me to understand it and do it properly.
Thank you.

Offline Explorer creates a database with the URL, modifucation date and original file size. Then it checks. Please make sure that If-Modified-Since command is correctly processed by your server. The server may not support it for ASP, PHP and other server-side scripts.

Hallo Oleg!
I`ve just tested deleting files with storing info about them. I`ve found an interesting thing - this mechanism doesn`t work when the folder`s location is marked as "default", but when I point the location of folder to any another directory, it works perfect.
But I didn`t find any way to do the same trick (delete project files without deleting information about them) via OLE. Is there any to do it?
Thank you

I just uploaded the updated oe.exe file:
http://www.metaproducts.com/download/betas/oee2322.zip
You can now use IOEProject.DeleteFiles method. It has one integer parameter. Set it to 1 to create such database about deleted files.

I`ve just tested a new version of OE. And faced a problem: deleting files works perfect, but when I try to update project, or download missing files - nothing happens. The only one type of download that works is "restart download" :).
And another feature - I`d like to export files of project, before deleting them. When I write something like:
Project.Export("C:\\somefile.zip", 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0);
Project.DeleteFiles(1);
The file "somefile.zip" contains just "content.html". But using just
Project.Export("C:\\somefile.zip", 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0);
saves the project files into "somefile.zip".
What should I do to import project files before deleting them? (using "Sleep(TickNum)" is problematically, because the size of sites varies greatly )
Thanks for youe attention.

You can use IMainOE.Exporting property to see if the Export still goes or not.
Regarding the site update - can you please give me more details on how to reproduce this?
Oleg.

Ok, that is what I`ve tested:
I`ve downloaded a site, delete its files ("yes" when OE asked me whether I want to download this files again) and tried to update it. nothing happend at all. It is very curiously, because yesterday, the same sequence of operations gaved the desired result.
Originally, I`ve performed the same sequence, but had to delete files via OLE - project update didn`t worked.

You should have "Download only new and modified files" set in the Project Properties.

It was set.
And when i said "nothing happened at all", I meant that download hasn`t even started. As if I didn`t push any button - no reaction at all.

Can you please quit Offline Explorer and start it again - would this change anything? Also, can you please enable logging (Ctrl+W) and see if there will be any message?

I can make a version that logs in details what exactly happens there. But please try to reboot your Windows before that.

I am sorry for the delay. Can you please update your oe.exe file to this one:

Start the download. You should have the oe.log file after that. If it is small, please post its contents here. Otherwise, please zip it and send to support@metaproducts.com.
Thank you!
