Support folder naming
The design file and its corresponding support folder are tied together by their names. The support folder
for "mySite.xar" is always "mySite_xar_files". This naming convention makes it obvious which support
folder belongs to which design file. So if you rename, copy or move a design file, always remember to do
the same to the corresponding support folder, if it exists! And if you send a design file to someone else,
send any support files folder along with it.
If you load a design that has a support folder, and then subsequently do a Save As
to save another copy of that design, Web Designer MX Premium will copy the whole support folder
too, if there is one.
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), Web Designer MX 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.
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".
