Hi to everyone first!
I'm just in the process of switching over to RSD from working on and moderating a now outdated Web Design Software for many years.
Congratulations to CCup on the back end work, this is where I wanted us to go and I could only program so much into the front end so it was a tough call making a change. Anyway... nice interface guys, the potential where this can go is exciting!

So my first question
I can't seem to find where you do attachments to the root. For example in the HEAD you put:
<link rel="icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">
Where do I go to place that icon in the root directory? Do you need to export and make those kind of attachments there or can it be done for local preview for example.

Also along the same lines is there a link yet for the best practice on basic folder set up configurations locally and/or use from within the program.

You would paste the icon link in the head section of each page in your RSD project. You can do that by going to Settings > Head and pasting the code you pasted above. Just note, the favicon, will not show up in preview. Then you add the .ico file under the Resource pane directly in the . root folder.

Okay Adam thanks for that, but I looked into this a bit more today. Adding the HEAD links for a favicon do work in preview. There is a little trick there though on adding the attachment files.

If you use the settings button on the right side design screen,
click that Add Resource button the PROJECT RESOURCES comes up
but using that Add Files button only allows CSS or JS
The trick is to use the top menu.
Click that Resource button instead.
Then the / (project folder) will be your root directory.
So if you select that then add your icon in there, that is the root directory.

The best way I've found (after 2 days so...) to figure out the folder configuration for this app is to export a project.
So set up a main working folder on your local pc with your project files, images scripts etc.
When you export go to the settings on the top menu,
name the project there so you can add a back-up later.
Then save and export, that way when you open the "your-project_exported" folder and that will be the file structure to FTP to your root directory for your website online.

The generated HTML adds the ./ (dot slash) path to the root so it does work in preview.

Have something to add? We’d love to hear it!
