file locations

Post by michling »

I notice that when creating a site there are time when movies, pictures, etc are in multiple location inside the website folder.
Some will be at root of the website folder, and some will be in a folder, with the same name of the website folder, that is inside the website folder.

Question, is there a reason why files are in multiple locations? Sometimes this can double the size and storage of the website folder??

When I check the site asset manager and look for orphans, none are found?

Thanks

You can control the target folder for different file types for the published website:
Preferences -> Publish -> target folder of file types

Local files will be copied to the project folder, so you can easier backup or move the entire project.
This behavior can be disabled in: Preferences -> Miscellaneous -> Asset Management

Thank you for the quick reply and explanation.

I just wanted to keep the website folder as small as possible, with as few duplicates as possible.
I guess it is best to let the asset manager manage the files.

Thanks again.
