Managing and Inserting Assets
229
Using favorite assets
Most of the operations of the Assets panel are the same in the Favorites list as in
the Site list (see “Using the Assets panel” on page 222). However, there are several
tasks that you can perform only in the Favorites list.
Because the Assets panel’s Site list always shows all of the recognized assets in the
site, this list can become cumbersome for some large sites. If you add frequently
used assets to your Favorites list, you can group related assets together, give them
nicknames to remind you what they’re for, and find them easily in the Assets panel.
Note:
Favorite assets are not stored as separate files on your disk; they’re references to the
assets in the Site list. Dreamweaver keeps track of which assets from the Site list to display
in the Favorites list.
Adding assets to and removing assets from the Favorites list
There are several ways to add assets to your site’s Favorites list.
To add assets to your Favorites list, do one of the following:
•
Select one or more assets in the Site list, and click the Add to Favorites button.
•
Select one or more assets in the Site list, and choose Add to Favorites from the
context menu.
•
Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh) an element in the
Document window’s Design view, and choose the context menu command to
add the element to the appropriate Favorites category.
For example, you can select an image and choose Add to Image Favorites from
the context menu. Note that the context menu for text contains either Add to
Color Favorites or Add to URL Favorites, depending on whether the text has a
link attached. Also note that only elements that fit one of the categories in the
Assets panel can be added to the Favorites list.
•
Select one or more files in the Site window and choose Add to Favorites from
the context menu. Files that don’t fit a category in the Assets panel are ignored.
Whichever method you choose, the assets are added to your Favorites list, and the
Assets panel displays the Favorites list.
Note:
There are no Favorites lists for templates and library items.
