Publish Menu

This menu is available in the Page Editor.

Before a web gallery can be viewed with a browser, it needs to be converted to a compatible format and transferred to a web server.

Render

Renders the current web gallery to browser compatible HTML documents and graphics files, and stores them on a local drive for preview.

During the rendering process, a progress bar estimates the time to completion, based on the number and size of pages and objects.

 F7

Transfer

This process copies the current web gallery from the local drive to the web server.

StudioLine will open the Publishing Profile Panel. Enter and test your server information, then click on OK. The web gallery will then be published.

If pages were deleted from the site, then the appropriate files will be removed from the server.

Note: This function requires some network connection to the server, e.g., via the Internet or a LAN.

 F8

Browse Preview

Opens the browser to preview the rendered web gallery from the local drive.

Open Directory in Windows Explorer

Advanced users may wish to access the native HTML documents and the image files that StudioLine renders for your gallery. To learn the path to those files and view them, render a new or updated web gallery and wait for the prompt "Open Browser". Click the button "&ldots; open directory in Windows Explorer" or choose "Open Directory in Windows Explorer" from the "Publish" menu.

Browse on Web Server

Opens the browser to view the current web gallery on the web server.

Publish Web Gallery onto CD/DVD

You can write your web galleries to CD or DVD, where they can be viewed on other PCs using standard web browsers.

Web galleries on CD/DVD will have "Autostart" information, which enables Windows PCs to automatically display the gallery as soon as the disc is inserted into a drive.

If "Autostart" has been disabled for a particular computer, simply double-click the disc in Windows Explorer. Locate the folder with the name of your web gallery and then the document with your index page (typically, "index.html" or "default.htm").
