Seperate resource folder

I want to create a seperate resource folder for 1 page in my site… but when i create a folder, drop the new page in there, click seperate resource folder, and then look into the site folder on my HD, no resources are collected into it. It is empty.

Why would this be happening?

Did you publish first? Freeway doesn’t move any files anywhere until
you do that step.

The main problem is the graphic effects to the divs - the corner and shadow graphics being created by FW. They only appear in the main resource folder, not in the newly created sub resources folder.

If there is a common div on each page, and not a unique item i.e. would it only produce one set of graphics and publish to the main resource folder rather than do another set for the sub folder?

Regardless of how you have set the Resource Folders option, it’s my
experience that Freeway resists the urge to duplicate any resources
for any reason. If it’s the same file, there’s only one of them ever
going to be published to the server. If you really need there to be a
predictable path to a resource, the only way to control this behavior
is to create a separate Freeway document for that one page/folder.
That will create a unique set of content and resources within that one
folder, and zero chance of duplication from elsewhere.

Yep, thought so. That’s no problem at all and makes sense to me. No need to duplicate files from common elements.

Thanks Walter
