[Express] Transferred App but no data

I transferred (or copied) Freeway to my laptop from my desktop so I would have it while traveling. The app copied ok but none of the pages did. How do I get the pages copied so I can make minor adjustments as I travel?

  1. Open the FW site file
  2. Publish the site and you will have the pages.

Did you copy the Freeway Document as well?

You also need the media files you imported into the Freeway document
so Freeway can find them on your Laptop.

All these are best kept in the same folder structure as your desktop Mac

You transferred the application, but in order to work on your site, you have to transfer that too, along with any images you have used in it. Your site is a very different thing to the application, and lives somewhere else on your hard disk; that is to say, wherever you saved it when you made it first.

(Sorry about the blank messages just now, I’m trying to tame a new
email client.)

The app copied ok but none of the pages did. How do I get the pages copied

Simply find where they are in the Finder and copy them from there.

As has already been noted, don’t forget to copy any images and other
media that you may have added to your pages. Your Freeway document
references the original files, it doesn’t (normally) try to swallow
the image data whole.

If you make your Freeway sites using a template rather than picking
the ‘custom’ option in the New Site dialog then you’ll have a folder
structure set up for you. Start with the Blank template and carry on
from there, as recommended in Freeway introduction.
Keep your original media files in the Media folder (for convenience)
and copy the folder that this folder, your Freeway document itself
and the ‘Site Folder’ is in.

And finally, a bit of explanation. Freeway is a program. More
correctly, it is an application (short for ‘application program’). It
is a tool, just like a typewriter, a drill or a pencil.

What you MAKE with this tool doesn’t live inside the tool. Your
documents are separate things, and you’ll need to copy those as well.
