Dreamweaver Back LCK Can you Set Rules |
|---|
| message from starmkr1 on 18 Jul 2004 |
My website http://entertainmentworld.us has a very large image library of
on-line. The LCK files are making even bigger. Is there any way that you can
set it up so Dreamweaver doesn't make back ups of certain areas when multi user
dreamweaver?
Thanks

The .LCK files are around 1k, and come from using checkin/checkout. If you
have multiple people working on the site, that is normally a minor price for
preventing overwrites (if the people involved are using dreamweaver)
It doesn't take up much hosting space, and if all the people involved in
working on the site are using checkin/checkout correctly it's no big deal.
It's a lot of filenames in the directories, but doesn't take up much space.
If otherwise is happening- details?
If there are people using Contribute on this site- there can be an increase
in the storage space used because contribute creates .bak files for every
file edited (and the number of the versions is controlled by the setting of
the "Rollback" feature in the Admin console.
The way that works also causes a lot of ftp churn that's noticable if
working with a dialup connection, because a lot of file renaming happens.
so- if the Rollback setting is set to 3, in effect the storage folder will
hold three previous version of every file touched. So the site's hosting
needs could be 3 times what is really needed for the currently active files.
If you don't want this- go into contribute admin and set rollbacks to a
smaller number or to zero. Of course- that removes the safety margin of
having a rollback feature.
Is it a contribute site?
