<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Two things I discovered while playing with OpenCms synchronization and static export. I didn't find these in any docs nor book but I think they are quite important to know about. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that:</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">- folder synchronization is "project dependant". I mean that when you click on the "synchronize folder" button, you will synchronize the real filesystem with the virtual filesystem _on the current project_. It is very important since you might want to synchronize with offline project, not online, for instance. I didn't find this obvious at all (though it sounds logicall and might be usefull).</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">- when configuring static export, you should never choose a different filesystem (or different network drives on Windows) for exportpath and exportworkpath: copying files in Java doesn't like different filesystems. I have been fighting with static export for weeks because I had workpath in /tmp and export path in /data on a Unix system.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hope this will help people who might have trouble with these two interesting features.</FONT>
