Hello Eric

thanks a lot for the long answer

I agree. Quanta is very flexible. It can be even better :-)

Agree. But it's the same situation for the special case I described.

This is good if you are creating the web site. But not if you are working to 
change some pages on a big old web site with a bunch of graphic files with 
confusing names..... :-) Joking, but it's really different to work on an 
already created web site, with limited access.

It will help if we could assign a local root directory for each upload 
profiles (like in ftp clients). It's not a complicated solution and it could 
be a real improvement when working on very big website (in this case the 
upload dialog is slow because Quanta has to verify a 
bunch of files). If you setup a profile with the appropriate local "root 
upload directory", Quanta will need to verify only files in that directory. 
And you can work with different profiles assign to different "root upload 
directory". Just like in all ftp clients.

It's ok I'm this sort of guy!
What is it? I didn't found doc about it.
