I have cpg installed on a live site and also on a local development version of the site running on XAMPP.
I prefer to upload new pictures, and add captions to them, on the local development system. If I transfer a dump of the local MySQL db to the live site, and ftp the images (full size, normal and thumbnails) with the exact same Albums folder structure, can I be sure the two cpg installations are keeping "in step".
It seems to work fine, but I wondered if there were other cpg files that I didn't know about which get modified when you add pictures and which I would also need to upload ?

No it's fine so.
That's not entirely correct: you'll lose the hits counter if you constantly overwrite the www table with the local one.

oups, yes, i didn't think to this point :-[
Thanks guys.
I'm not too worried about the hit counter, but I guess that if I were to download a dump of the www MySQL db to the local XAMPP before adding new pictures offline, that would also stay in step.
Thanks again for your help - my main worry was that there might be some other "internal" cgp files that got changed in addition to Albums and MySQL.
