I present all the links in a directory called " Enlaces " were my install is in a directory not presented on my menu called " links ". The generate html pages were generated with a reference to "../Enlaces" so "Enlaces directory is at the same level of "links" directory.
this way I do have a super fast static directory within my site
That's what the cache system is for.
It maybe also useful for generate a static portable copy of the site.
I used to think that was a useful idea, but in 5 years I never heard of anyone using it. Offline distribution of websites just isn't effective, so the amount of maintenance involved in keeping the generate html option alive hasn't proved an effective use of time.

Yes but this is faster than cache, it's super-fast and I can generate an entire static fast directory on another directtory.
It's a pity we do not have it as I see applications. But I understand that if it consumes your time maintaining without people using it it's not attractive to you.
By breaking all emails, crons, timed actions, and everything else that replies on dynamic page views, which also makes it an extreme pain to support when people use it without realizing it'll render their site mostly-useless.
There are likely website spider programs out there which will make a static copy for you if you want.

Just to check if there's a chance to re-stablish the generate html feature.
I was using it to present static pages of links on a directory different than the one of the installation.

Please explain what that means. What directory could you possibly show if not the one you're using, and how does HTML generation get involved?

Well, I just can't see why anyone would ever want to do that. Why?

It's not a common situation, but this way I do have a super fast static directory within my site, this directory is rarely modified and regenerated.
It maybe also useful for generate a static portable copy of the site.
