You can view and manage assets in the current site using the Assets panel. The Assets panel displays assets for the site associated with the active document in the Document window.
NOTE |
|
You must define a local site before you can view assets in the Assets panel. For more information about setting up a site, see Setting up a new Dreamweaver site. |
The Assets panel provides two views:
The Site list shows all of the assets in your site, including colors and URLs that are used in any document in your site.
The Favorites list shows only the assets youve explicitly chosen.
In both lists, assets are divided into categories (along the left side of the Assets panel). The Site list and the Favorites list are both available for all categories of assets except templates and library items.
NOTE |
|
Most of the Assets panel operations work the same in the Site list and in the Favorites list. There are a few tasks, however, that you can perform only in the Favorites list (see Creating and managing a list of favorite assets). |
By default, assets in a given category are listed in alphabetical order by name. You can instead list the assets by any of several other criteria or change the size of the columns. You can also preview assets in a category, and change the size of the preview area.
The Assets panel appears. By default, the Images category is selected.
NOTE |
|
In the Templates and Library categories (on the left side of the Assets panel), the Site and Favorites choices are unavailable. |
The Favorites list is empty until you explicitly add assets to it.
NOTE |
|
In the Templates and Library categories (on the left side of the Assets panel), the Site and Favorites choices are unavailable. |
For example, to sort the list of images by type (so that all the GIF images are together, all the JPEG images are together, and so on), click the Type column heading.
The preview area at the top of the panel shows a visual preview of the asset.
For example, when you select a movie asset, the preview area shows an icon. To view the movie, click the Play button (the green triangle) in the upper-right corner of the preview area.
