The save embedded file dialog is saving images on your page - not htm pages
When you select to Save your page (w/ the new images on it) FP is asking where do you want to save the new images in your web - it
also is saving the page as a .htm so you do not need to rename your page after the save
If you select each image (in the dialog) you can give it a different image name (ie: logo.gif or anything.gif) and a folder location
in your FP web
| Dear John,
| No success! I created a new blank page and re-created the
| problem page's layout. The problem image is originally in
| my folders as a .jpg, so I selected the .jpg file and
| added it to the new page. Then I added the text box, and
| got the prompt that it will be converted to .gif. Ok,
| fine. Then I saved the page, at which point I got a prompt
| to save two embedded files: the problem image and our
| logo .gif. The default action for both was "Overwrite."
| This is the point at which I get confused - I feel that
| whatever I choose at this point is related to the problem.
| I chose to overwrite the files. The name of the original
| page was libraryhome.htm, so I named the new page
| libraryhome2.htm and saved it. I then went into the file
| dialog box and deleted the original libraryhome.htm file,
| then renamed the libraryhome2 file with the old file name
| libraryhome. When I went to publish, the new file showed
| up as "Publish" but the .gif image showed up as "Up to
| Date." I knew what was going to happen, but I published
| the libraryhome.htm file anyway and sure enough, the
| graphic is broken. I tried publishing the .gif file anyway
| and it made no difference. I am at a TOTAL loss at this
| point. What am I doing wrong? Was I not supposed to
| overwrite the .gif files? If not, what action do I choose?
| Thanks again for your help.
