Using Adobe GoLive CS, Part 1 - Deleting Files, Folders, and Adding Existing Files
(Page 10 of 14 )
Deleting Files or Folders
To delete a file or folder, select it, and then click the Trash button on the Main Toolbar. This moves the item (and its contents if it's a folder) into the SiteTrash folder on the right side of the Site window. A dialog appears asking you to confirm the move. The great thing about the Site Trash is that if you've deleted an item in error, you can simply drag it back into the site at any time. To permanently delete a file or folder from your site, select it in the Site Trash and click the Trash button a second time. This moves the item into your Finder trash or Explorer Recycle Bin (see Figure 9.19).

Figure 9.19 The SiteTrash folder is a built-in escape route should you need to recover a file you inadvertently deleted.
Adding Existing Files
Suppose you need to add files that already exist to your site? For example, you may have images, QuickTime movies, PDFs, Photoshop files, Illustrator files, JavaScript files, CSS files, or any number of other documents that you want to incorporate into your site. No problem. To add files to your site window, do one of the following:
From the menu choose File, Import, Files to Site. When the dialog box opens, navigate through your drives and select the files that are to be added.
Drag and drop a file or files from your drive directly into the Site window.
Tip - You can target a specific folder into which you want the files placed by first selecting it in the Files or Extras tab and then importing. When the importation is complete, the items will be inside the selected folder.
