In the Local Info category of the
Advanced tab of the Site Definition dialog box, you can specify the Default Images Folder.
If your site does not include a Default Images Folder, you see the prompt window shown in Figure 9-4, asking
if you want to copy the image to your local site root folder. If you click Yes, Dreamweaver gives you an
opportunity to specify where the image should be saved within the local site. Whenever possible, keep all
your images within the local site root folder so that Dreamweaver can handle site management efficiently.
FIGURE 9-4
Dreamweaver reminds you to keep all your graphics within the local site root folder for easy site management.
If you attempt to drag an out-of-site image file from the Files panel or from your file manager, and you click
No to the prompt asking to copy the file to your site, the file is not inserted. If you attempt to insert the file
using the Select Image Source dialog box and answer No, the file is inserted with the src attribute pointing
to the path of the file. In this case, Dreamweaver appends a prefix that tells the browser to look on your
local system for the file. For instance, the file listing looks like the following in Windows:
file:///C|/Dreamweaver/images/logo.jpg
whereas on the Macintosh, the same file is listed as follows:
file:///Macintosh HD/Dreamweaver/images/logo.
