    selecting the link in local files

    helennewton Community Member

      Hi, I have cs5 and before  had mx2004,

      when I work I always used to click on the name of the page (the link) on the local file list,

      then automatically it was higlighted and I just clicked on copy,

      with cs5 when I click on the link its higlighted but leaves the extension out, that makes me

      past the link without the extension, this is very irritating and I dont see the reason to do so.

      Is there a way I can configure this?

      Thanks in advance

          I'm not sure I understand your question.  To add a hyperlink to your web page:

           

          1. Highlight some text or select an image on your page.

          2. Click inside the Link Field on the HTML properties panel (Ctrl+F3).

          3. Click on the folder (browse) icon next to the Link Field.

          4. Select a file from your local site.  Hit OK.

           

          Does this help?

            Dear Nancy,

            No, I did not mean that, on the right hand I have a list with all files and folders I have in my site,

            I often select a file to copy the link to past it manually into the code,

            When I select a file on the list (you have to click twice) then I rightclick to copy it,

            the link is automatically highligted and selected but the extension (the .php or .html or whatever)

            is not highligted, that mean if you copy the way it is you copy without the extension and its easy to

            forget to manually write it.

            In my older version of dreamweaver the whole link with its extension were selected and copied.
