I've recently done another audit of the plugins used on this site. This was in response to the Media Library insisting that it couldn't update the metadata for media in the media library because it already existed in the library. To track this down I ended up doing a review of the media related plugins. The ones I've uninstalled are:

Bulk Change Media Author Plugin

Allowed me to fix up the author field on multiple media items. I'm now less concerned about this and hence no longer need this

Enable Media Replace

Having sorted out the correct directory structure for my plugins and themes I no longer need this plugin

Phoenix Media Rename

As with the previous plugin, sorting out the directory structure means I no longer need this plugin

I've automated some of my static upload process. This post is partially to provide a new post and partially to document/record the automatic part of the process. I created a batch script that generates a winscp script to upload files that changed, and will show the other differences (file adds and deletes) involved in the process. That script is:

@echo off
setlocal ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
fossil extras >%temp%\fossil.out
for /f "delims=" %%a in (%temp%\fossil.out) do (
 fossil add %%a
)

set localdir=%cd%
set remotedir=/home/djvines/blog.tremlas.com

fossil status >%temp%\fossil.out
echo open blog.tremlas.com >%temp%\winscp.txt
for /f "delims=" %%a in (%temp%\fossil.out) do (
 set string=%%a
 for /f "tokens=1,2" %%c in ("!string!") do (
  set dz=%%d
  if "%%c"=="EDITED" echo put %localdir%\!dz:/=\! %remotedir%/%%d >>%temp%\winscp.txt
  if not "%%c"=="EDITED" echo !string!
 )
)
echo exit >>%temp%\winscp.txt
echo to run script execute:
echo "c:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP\WinSCP.com" /script=%temp%\winscp.txt
