DREAMWEAVER CS3 103 User Guide Note: The Clean Up Design Notes command only deletes MNO (Design Notes) files. It does not delete the _notes folder or the dwsync.xml file inside the _notes folder. Dreamweaver uses the dwsync.xml file to maintain information about site synchronization. 6 Select Upload Design Notes For Sharing to upload Design Notes associated with your site with the rest of your documents and click OK. • If you select this option, you can share Design Notes with the rest of your team. When you put or get a file, Dreamweaver automatically puts or gets the associated Design Notes file. • If you do not select this option, Dreamweaver maintains Design Notes locally but does not upload them with your files. If you work alone on your site, deselecting this option improves performance. Design Notes will not be transferred to the remote site when you check in or put your files and you can still add and modify the Design Notes for your site locally. Associate Design Notes with files You can create a Design Notes file for each document or template in your site. You can also create Design Notes for applets, ActiveX controls, images, Flash content, Shockwave objects, and image fields in your documents. Note: If you add Design Notes to a template file, documents you create with the template do not inherit the Design Notes. 1 Do one of the following: • Open the file in the Document window and select File > Design Notes. • In the Files panel, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh) the file, and select Design Notes. Note: If the file resides in a remote site, you must first check out or get the file, and then select it in the local folder. 2 In the Basic Info tab, select a status for the document from the Status menu. 3 Click the date icon (above the Notes box) to insert the current local date in your notes. 4 Type comments in the Notes box. 5 Select Show When File Is Opened to make the Design Notes file appear every time the file is opened. 6 In the All Info tab, click the Plus (+) button to add a new key-value pair; select a pair and click the Minus (-) button to remove it. For example, you might name a key Author (in the Name box) and define the value as Heidi (in the Value box). 7 Click OK to save the notes. Dreamweaver saves your notes to a folder called _notes, in the same location as the current file. The filename is the document's filename, plus the extension .mno. For example, if the filename is index.html, the associated Design Notes file is named index.html.mno. See also "Getting and putting files to and from your server" on page 87 "Check files into and out of a remote folder" on page 93 Work with Design Notes After you associate a Design Note with a file, you can open the Design Note, change its status, or delete it.
