Offline Blog Editor – what is out there?

Hi all,

I already checked with the several offline editors (a.k.a. blog clients) but these do (after a first test) not satisfy my requirements.

The requirements are:
– download the full blog to local repository
– edit any post content offline (I’m ok /w Attributes, Tags to be changed in online mode only)
– upload a mass of changes to posts to the server

Reviewed tools:
– w.bloggar
– Ecto
– Qumana
– jBlogger
– Performancing
– Ecto
– Zempt (seems to off?)
– BlogJet

My current solution has quite some constraints:
I’m using WAMP with a complete copy of the blog & database. After editing posts locally, I update the production blog with SQL dumps created by sqladmin and heavy text-editing using the REPLACE command within the WP-DBManager Plugin by GaMerZ. This is error prone and tedious…:-)

Does anyone have a suggestion what I could do?
I’d be ok from some example SQL scripts to handle the mass easier over an import/export Addin to Windows-Formats up to a fully fledge blog client:-).

Many thanx in advance,
Volker

Big-PS:
my WAMP solution is inspired by the urbangiraffe tutorial (how to set up a local copy of Wordperfect) and some basic SQL knowledge.

Does this general approach makes sense to be wrapped into a whitepapper/tutorial (and maybe later a plugin … – if I’m able to learn PHP:-)?

In other words:
Are there more or similiar requests like mine?
