[Pro] Folders

I just discovered Folders in the site window. Very cool. Is there anything I should know about Site Folders?

Also, is it advisable to use lowercase for folder names?

Use lowercase and only alphanumeric characters with the addition of _ underscores and - hyphens. Never use any other sort of punctuation characters and avoid spaces.

I noticed that Freeway Pro capitalizes its own Resources folder, which it uploads to the server. Is that suppose to happen or do I have something set wrong?

No - that is normal

It is just good practice to stick to lowercase - FW’s Resources folder is an exception by design. It has been requested that it be changed.

I probably should have written:

Stick to lowercase and only alphanumeric characters…

For those that are concerned about this you can change the File > Document Setup > Output > File Names setting to DOS then the ‘Resources’ folder becomes ‘resource’.

I just made this change and all of my webpage names now end with .htm instead of .html, except of course my .php pages.

Is this a problem? What naming convention do most Freeway Pro users prefer?

Please correct me if I’m wrong, but I just discovered that if you make the switch from a Unix/Windows to DOS naming convention, Freeway Pro changes all of your page filenames to .htm, but if you switch back it doesn’t revert the filenames to .html.

Is that a bug or is it intentional?

If I switch back to HTML do I have to manually rename each page?

Are there any other filenames that may have been affected if I make the switch back to a Unix/Windows naming convention?

The JPEG images that Freeway generates will be truncated to .jpg rather than .jpeg. Pass-through images will not be altered as far as I know.

It’s not important whether you use .html or .htm unless your server doesn’t recognize the latter. Which would be exceedingly rare in my experience. People do insist on using Windows computers to create Web sites, and they all use three-letter file-type extensions.
