Within a project you can run all the standard file management and maintenance operations that you perform on individual files. You can also set and modify resource filters and perform a variety of other project-level tasks.
This section contains instructions for opening and closing projects and documents, editing project properties, and deleting projects.
For instructions on deploying a project, see "Deploying Files".
The project structure appears on the Projects tab.
All of the text-based files in the entire project are opened in the Editor window, with a tab for each file. You might be asked to clear an option for any files that are not text-based.
The Edit Project Properties dialog box appears.
The following table shows the properties you can set at each of the project levels:
Project level |
Properties |
---|---|
Project root (blue globe) |
Path options for the project structure Can also be opened from Projects > Properties |
Project root folder (top folder in project tree) |
Project folder type and deployment options |
Subfolders |
Individual folder type and deployment options |
The project is removed from the Projects panel and the APF file is deleted from your computer. This has no effect on the actual files in the mapped directories; you have only removed the project APF file.
The Resources tree provides an alternate view of the files in your project based on file type. This is useful for isolating application files, media files, and other content.
By default, the Resources tree includes three types of resources: HTML, CFML, and Images. You can easily edit the default resource types and also add new ones.
Note To prevent slow execution of project link verification and extended search and replace operations-caused by parsing large binary files such as .exe, .pdf, .zip, and media file types-HomeSite installs a list of excluded file extensions in the Windows Registry, in the LinkVerifyExcludeExts key. |
A list of files, each having a file extension specified for the selected resource, appears in the lower pane.
You can also add, edit, or remove a resource while working in the Projects tree.
For example, type: gif;jpg;jpeg;png
