Opening a File Asset in an External Application
NetObjects Fusion can automatically open a file asset in the external application
with which the file asset is associated. For HTML documents, and .gif and .jpeg
image files, you can specify your preferred editing application in the Application
Options dialog. See “Setting Program Options” on page 22. For other types of files,
see “Editing Objects and Assets” on page 106.
To open a file asset in an external application:
1. In Assets Files view, select the asset.
2. From the Assets menu, choose Open Asset.
3. Make your changes and save the file in the external application.
Displaying a Page Containing a Specific File Asset
1. In Assets Files view, double-click a file asset to open the File dialog.
2. Select the page you want to see from the list of pages.
3. Click the Go To button.
The page you selected appears in Page view.
Deleting a File Asset
You should only delete assets not in use. If you delete an asset in use on a page, the
object containing that asset appears as a blank or with an “X” through it in Page
view.
To avoid deleting assets in use, double-click the asset in Assets view to see if it’s
used on any pages before you decide to delete the asset.
To delete a file asset:
1. In Assets view, right-click the file asset you want to delete and choose Delete
File Asset from the shortcut menu. You can also select the file asset in the list
and press the Delete key on the keyboard.
2. Click Yes to confirm the deletion.
Note: You cannot undo this operation. You must use the New
File Asset command on the Assets menu to recreate the
file asset.
