Update links automatically
Dreamweaver can update links to and from
a document whenever you move or rename the document within a local
site. This feature works best when you store your entire site (or
an entire self-contained section of it) on your local disk. Dreamweaver does not change files in the
remote folder until you put the local files on or check them in
to the remote server.
To make the updating process faster, Dreamweaver can create a cache file in which
to store information about all the links in your local folder. The
cache file is updated invisibly as you add, change, or delete links
on your local site.
Enable automatic link updates- Select Edit > Preferences (Windows)
or Dreamweaver > Preferences (Macintosh).
- In the Preferences dialog box, select General from the
category list on the left.
- In the Document Options section of the General preferences,
select an option from the Update Links When Moving Files pop‑up
menu.
- Always
- Automatically updates all links to and from a selected
document whenever you move or rename it.
- Never
- Does not automatically update all links to and from a
selected document when you move or rename it.
- Prompt
- Displays a dialog box that lists all the files affected
by the change. Click Update to update the links in these files,
or click Don’t Update to leave the files unchanged.
- Click OK.
Create a cache file for your site- Select Site > Manage Sites.
- Select a site, and then click Edit.
- Click the Advanced tab to display the Advanced category
of the Site Definition dialog box.
- Select Local Info from the category list on the left.
- In the Local Info category, select Enable Cache.
The first time you change or delete links to files in your
local folder after starting Dreamweaver, Dreamweaver prompts you to load the cache.
If you click Yes, Dreamweaver loads the cache
and updates all the links to the file you just changed. If you click
No, the change is noted in the cache, but Dreamweaver does
not load the cache or update links.
It may take a few minutes
to load the cache on larger sites because Dreamweaver must
determine whether the cache is up to date by comparing the timestamps
of the files on the local site against the timestamps recorded in the
cache. If you have not changed any files outside Dreamweaver, you can safely click the Stop
button when it appears.
Re-create the cache In the Files panel, select Site >
Advanced > Recreate Site Cache.
