	Hi, I have run into a problem with my project. It worked until 2 days ago. I then updated the libraries in Library Manager, and since then, the spiffs output file is of only 192kb in size and no longer works when i upload it (using OTA) 2 days ago, the spiffs file generated was 1,472kb and worked. I am unable to understand what has gone wrong and need some handholding. I have updated to latest version, and i have run the Check For Updates in Library Manager and Board Manager, with Rescan afterwards. I am now stuck and dont know how to continue. Any help appreciated. Output from "Publich Server Data Files" attached. Kind Regards, Gunnar

	Thanks for the report. Did you upgrade the ESP32 Board Package when you did your updates in the last few days? I assume none of the files being put into the SPIFFS image have changed?

	Hi Simon, I am actually not sure if i did or not. Is there a way to tell ? I did however install a "Board Platform" "esp32/Version 2.0.4/ESP32 Dev Board" while trying to fix this issue. Looking at the Board Selector dropdown, i now discover my board appears both as an "OLIMEX ESP32-PoE esp32-esp32-poe" and as "OLIMEX ESP32-PoE espressif-esp32-poe". I have now tried to switch to the espressif one, and it gives me the same result. The files in the spiffs image, from "data" folder, have had minimal change in one html file. I am rather new to this system, so i am not confident i am selecting the correct options. Perhaps i was lucky to have it run in the first place.

	There is no simple way to tell when a board package has been updated. It sounds like you have multiple ESP32 Board Packages installed, we normally use the official ESP32 Package (which is the board you have listed as "OLIMEX ESP32-PoE esp32-esp32-poe"). Looking at the board options on the vMicro menu, it seems like you want to set the Partition Scheme option to "Default" (which generates the 1472KB image), but at present you have it set to "Minimal SPIFFS (Large APPS with OTA)" which only generates a 192KB image. If you change it back to "Default", then perform a build on your project, the Publish Server Data Files should work as expected.

	That did the trick. Setting the Partition Scheme option to "Default" solved my problem. Wonderful Thank you.
