I have a large website. When I copied it from one (old) laptop to a new
one, and then set up FP on the new laptop, FP wants to publish EVERY
file. This runs into the tens of thousands of files, more than a gig
of disk file space.
Is there a way to edit the list of files in FP so that FP doesn't think
they have been edited? Can it be as simple as re-setting the archive bit?
I do NOT want to set them all as "don't publish", since they might need
to be published eventually....

could it be as simple as attrib -a /s ? Appears so!

Any time you switch machines or FP versions you must do a publish all at least once
