Naming files and folders


When you create a new empty file in Adobe GoLive, it is automatically given a name. If you know what content that file will contain, you will probably want to rename it.

When you rename a file that is referenced by other files, you can update the other files with the new filename at the same time. For information on updating an entire URL being referenced, see Editing links and references sitewide.

To rename a file:

Type the new name in the File tab of the File Inspector.

To update files referencing a file you are renaming:

1 Rename the file.

2 If any file in the update list should not be updated, deselect it.

3 Click OK.

To check for filename constraint violations:

Do one of the following:
  • List the file in the Files tab of the primary site window, and examine the Filename Constraint column.
  • Look for the Filename Constraint tab in the File Inspector when you are inspecting the file. If the tab is absent, the filename is OK.
  • Look for the group Filename Warnings in the Errors tab of the site window. If it is present, it will include a list of all files with filenaming errors.

    • To rename a folder:

    Type the new name in the Folder Inspector.
