How to handle large number of files with docpad?

It's very tough. The sample blog dorajistyle.pe.kr has more than 1000 articles. But docpad can't handle large number of files. However we have a trick. That's adding 'ignored' flag into your article's header. Before generating an article, set 'ignored' flag as false. When the article generated well, change 'ignored' flag to true. Docpad will ignore articles that already generated. Unfortunately cleanurls plugin not working with this trick. If you use the plugin, docpad generate ignored articles without layouts.

Sample

• Original blog.

  dorajistyle.pe.kr

• Generated docpad static blog.

  dorajistyle.net
