Sending a Fireworks document as an e-mail attachment
You can easily send documents as e-mail attachments from within Fireworks. You can send a
Fireworks PNG, a compressed JPEG, or a document using other file formats and optimization
settings available in the Optimize panel.
To send a document as an e-mail attachment using your default e-mail client:
1 Choose File > Send to E-mail.
2 Select one of the following options:
Fireworks PNG attaches the current PNG document to a new e-mail message.
JPG Compressed attaches the current document to a new e-mail message using the
JPEG - Better Quality optimization setting.
Use Export Settings attaches the current document to an e-mail message using the settings
defined in the Optimize panel.
Note: Mozilla, Netscape 6, and Nisus Emailer are not supported on the Macintosh.
Using the File Management button
The File Management button, located at the top of the Document window next to the Quick
Export button, offers easy access to file-transport commands. You can use the File Management
button if your document lives in a Studio MX 2004 site folder and if the site has access to a
remote server. Fireworks recognizes your folder as a site if you have used the Manage Site dialog
box in Dreamweaver MX 2004 to define the target folder, or a folder that contains the target
folder, as the local root folder for a site.
The File Management button displays the following menu commands:
Get copies the remote version of the file to the local site, overwriting the local file with the
remote copy.
Check Out checks the file out, overwriting the local file with the remote copy. Check Out is
enabled in Fireworks only if the Enable File Check In and Check Out option is enabled in
Dreamweaver for the site in which the document lives.
Put copies the local version of the file to the remote site, overwriting the remote file with the
local copy.
Check In checks the local file in, overwriting the remote file with the local copy. Check In is
enabled in Fireworks only if the Enable File Check In and Check Out option is enabled in
Dreamweaver for the site in which the document lives.
Undo Check Out undoes Check Out of the local file and checks it in, overwriting the local file
with the remote copy. Undo Check Out is enabled in Fireworks only if the Enable File Check In
and Check Out option is enabled in Dreamweaver for the site in which the document lives.
Note: File Management commands are enabled in Fireworks only if your document lives in a Studio
MX 2004 site folder with a remote server defined. Fireworks File Management commands can be
used only for files that live in sites that use the Local/Network and FTP transport methods. Files in
sites that uses FTP or third-party transport methods such as SourceSafe, WebDAV, and RDS
cannot be transported to and from the remote server from within Fireworks.
