Local Files Manager

 

Resource Panel

The Local Files Manager is very similar to Microsoft Explorer™. You can use the Local Files Manager to manipulate or filter files. By dragging and dropping, the Local File Manager provides an easy way of inserting links into your documents. The Local File Manager was designed to aid with the file manipulation required of larger Websites.

How to Open the Local Files Manager

  1. On the View menu, select the Resource Manager submenu.

  2. In the Resource Manager submenu, select Local Files.

Right-click over any file in the Local Files Manager.

A menu appears asking if you want to:

  • Insert as Link

  • Open for Editing

The Open for Editing option is available for text or HTML files that you may wish to edit in HotDog. The Insert as Link option places a link from your Web document to the file you clicked on. Select this option if, in the document you are editing, you want to insert a link to another file:

  1. In the Local File Viewer, right click on the file you want to insert.

  2. A link to that file is inserted at the cursor’s position in the document you were editing.

Inserting Images by Drag and Drop.

Inserting images into a webpage is easy. Just open the Local File Manager and drag an image file into your currently opened webpage.

Refreshing the Local Files Resource Panel

You can refresh the file list in the Local Files resource panel by simply clicking in the resource panel and then pressing the F5 function key.
