I thought this surely was a feature of Projects in HTML Editor. But I couldn't find it in the menus, and search as I might, not here on the forum either.

I want to be able to specify a different default images folder for each Website Project. When I click on the "Image" tool button in Code Editor to add an image to my HTML, it always starts me out in c:\Program Files\CoffeeCup. Now, I admit that *is* the default images folder setting in Preferences. But I need to be able to set a different default for each project.

If that doesn't make sense, could you kindly explain what that's not a good idea?

BTW, using HTML Editor 2010 SE, build 365.

Thanks.

Well, I may be old fashioned, but I don't use the project thingy, among other things for the reason you mention. I have my default working folders set to a folder in My Documents called 'HTML', and in there I have a subfolder for each site I have worked on. So I just open the folder I need, and then I have it all there. I always copy images and other stuff to an 'images' folder in the site folder where I need it. I have always done it this way, and I think I have the most control that way.

I just add a folder to my project called images then paste the images to that folder before or when I need them. That way as Inger stated I'm in control.

I never use projects. I think that's maybe because that wasn't in the earlier versions of the Editor, and by the time it was introduced I had already got my own system going...my working folder is a folder called...would you believe it...working...and in there I just have a named folder for every site I do...and each of those has its own set of folders inside for images etc.

Janys, that's pretty much how I do it too.
"old school" is cool

I remember it being the default for the earlier version. I just didn't use it enough back then to be set in my ways. Old school is cool and fine. Best thing to do is to use a system that your comfy with.

So ... I originally posted this under Suggested Features because I didn't think it existed in the current version, and an admin moved it. And I got a slightly snide suggestion to "please check the thread titles carefully before posting."

I did check the titles, and it really does belong where I posted it.

It's annoying that the "add image" tool button can't be made to default to the images folder for the current project. None of you seem to have a problem with that -- mainly because you're not using one of the main features of the program (Projects) -- and I can't say it keeping me from getting my work done. But it is annoying.

Could someone move this thread back to Suggested Features?

Thanks.

The admin in question did add her name under the move...so your comment could have been directed at her ( me).

I was not being snide (also because I don't even know what the word means let alone how to be it) but was genuinely convinced that yours was a query and not a suggestion. After several thousand posts in here, you might appreciate that I have seen quite a few people post in the wrong place, and so have a fairly standard method of asking them to please pay attention to where they are posting...a gentle request, hardly a harsh criticism.

Without becoming snide yourself (although you were hardly subtle), you could have diplomatically pointed out the error and asked to be taken back to the original suggestions thread without becoming unpleasant.

Perhaps we could get back on the right footing here and consider that the admin are only attempting to do a fairly difficult job...without any reward since none of us are paid up members of the CC staff.

Janys (just in case you need to speak about the admin in question on a future occasion)

ps.I have not moved your post, but have made a post in your name in the suggestions thread.

When in doubt don't whip it out, leave it alone.
