(For a full list of cloaked operations, see the
following paragraphs.) The site cloaking feature can save you a significant amount of upload/maintenance
time. Suppose that you??™re working on a site that contains several dozen large MP3 files, all stored in a folder
named mp3s. You can cloak the mp3s folder, so that when you put (upload) your site files at the end of the
day, you don??™t end up re-putting all those mp3 files, which most likely haven??™t changed, anyway.
A site??™s folder-cloaking settings are sticky; after you??™ve specified them, Dreamweaver remembers
them whenever you work on the site.
Cloaking excludes cloaked folders from the following operations:
n Put, Get
n Check In, Check Out
n Reports
n Select Newer Local, Select Newer Remote
n Sitewide commands, such as Check Links Sitewide and Find And Replace Entire Site
n Synchronize
n Asset panel contents
n Template and library updating
Cloaking and uncloaking site folders is a breeze. Follow these steps:
1. In the Files panel, select the desired site from the drop-down list box. Note that this site must
have cloaking enabled in the Site Definition dialog box, which is the default site setting. If, however,
you need to enable cloaking for a site, choose Site ??? Cloaking ??? Enable Cloaking.
