Sometimes in past FW5 and earlier with my poor computer discipline I would move a folder of graphic files into a new diretory location. During the next upload of site a dialog would alert me to missing graphics and lower quality. I still got that today in FW6 but what I could not find was the cool button to be able to locate and quickly re-establish the file path to the new locations. Am I missing something or has this been removed, if removed that is a shame.
Edit/ Resources – where it always has been. Find the first missing image in its new location, and Freeway will (usually) work out the rest from a relative path.

Sorry. Went looking for edit resources and that is what I used before. In my fw5.5 there is a button to click and get to the edit resources right on the alert dialog window. In fw6 I do not have the button on the alert. I now know to go look for it separately. Thanks for the response and getting me to go searching. It is handy and I do like the fact I fix one and the others in same folder all update, that is cool.
This reinforces the use of the FW created Media folder to store all your images etc. with the FW file.
If you use a FW template this Media folder is created for you but if not then it is a good idea to do it yourself.
Once you have this Media folder it is a good idea to copy all the files/images you are using in your site into that folder. You will never lose them again (or trash them by mistake!)
Dave you are very correct. My carelessness was to use same graphics on multiple sites. I actually copied an entire page of graphics and layout and pasted into a new website. Forgot to place copies of the files in new sites media folder. Today was another case of copying an entire page. When I went to publish the dialog came up announcing no files but without that handy button to edit resources. After Walter pointed out it is available, just go look, I did, found it where it likely has always been parked under the Edit menu. Thanks Walter and Dave for your assistance.
