Hey guys, Ive been dabbling around with features. Creating them seemed easy enough but I cant seem to update a feature.

The only documentation Ive found was here: http://drupal.org/node/582680 but didnt seem to help much. By the way I am using the lastest version of Features so the UI has the recreate button vs update button.

What Ive tried so far after creating a feature and then making changes to it is:

1. recreate feature and download it.
2. delete old feature directory
3. unzip new download to replace old feature

But when I go back to features its still saying overridden. Ive cleared cache but still the same. I know you can use the drush feature update but currently on a windows machine and its just not working. I was checking out the video developmentseed.com and right when they get into updating the feature they use Drush. I love Drush, just cant use it right now.

Im sure Im just missing or overlooking something simple. Can someone please point me in the right direction to manually (not w/ Drush) update my features.

Thanks!

Look at the documentation for more details, but I've been using drush for this a lot more now. in this case the command will be:
drush features-update <feature name>
or, the short version
drush fu <feature name>
Where is the machine name.
Also, very useful is the features-components or fc, which provides a list of all un-exported or unassigned components, this way you can also, and more easily, add new components to your feature in situ.
