[opencms-dev] Static Export - opencms-importexport.xml - Singlefile rule feature bug

[] Code Create [ Bernd Wolfsegger]

Hi again.

Well, perhaps someone at Alkacon may confirm that this is a known bug ?

In the Alkacon Documentation there is explicitly mentioned that something
like this is possible:

    <export-rule>
        <name>mysite-news</name>
        <description>This rule will export the index.html and the news.html
files in folder /sites/mysite/,
                     if any resource under /sites/mysite/modules/news/ is
modified</description>
        <modified-resources>
            <regex>sites/mysite/modules/news/.*</regex>
        </modified-resources>
        <export-resources>
            <uri>/sites/mysite/index.html</uri>
            <uri>/sites/mysite/news.html</uri>
        </export-resources>
    </export-rule>

But in fact, it is NOT possible.
With this configuration the modified resource(s) only will get exported.

Kind regards, Bernd
