Support folder contents
When you use the Placeholder Tab
of the Web Properties dialog to insert a reference to an external file into your website design (using the
Browse buttons), Xara Web Designer 7 Premium will automatically copy that file into the design's
support folder for you. If the support folder doesn't already exist, it will be created.
Note that if you subsequently change a placeholder object to reference a different file, the original file will
not be automatically deleted from the support folder. So if a file is no longer needed, you need to remove
it manually.
You can also manually copy any files you like into the support folder of a design, creating the folder
manually if required. Xara Web Designer 7 Premium will never delete any files from it, whether or not
they are referenced from the corresponding design file. The reason for this is that there are many different
ways in which a design may reference an external file. For example you may insert a complex piece of
HTML code into your design, which somewhere references an external file which you've placed in the
support folder. Or perhaps one of the external files references another external file! There's no way that
Xara Web Designer 7 Premium can be sure that a file is not used by the website, so it never deletes files.
Exporting websites with support folders
When you export a website document, any files in the corresponding support folder are copied to the
folder which contains all the generated images for your website. So if you export "mySite.xar" to
"index.htm", then any files in folder "mySite_xar_files" are copied into the "index_htm_files folder".
