WebPlus Essentials User Guide - Serif

174 Images, Animation, and Multimedia
For dragging images from the Media Bar, images 256 KB are linked. However, you can change embed or link status with
the Shift key as you drag.
To preselect embedding or linking based on file size:
1. Choose Options... from the Tools menu. Select the General menu
option.
2. To preselect the "Embed Picture" option for images under a certain
size, select the threshold size in the "Embed if smaller than" list.
("Link Picture" will be pre-selected for images larger than the
threshold.)
3. To choose whether to embed or link each image, uncheck Suggest
embed/link picture. You can still select either option in the import
dialog; it will now remember and preselect the last setting you used.
Using the Media Bar
The Media Bar acts as a "basket"
containing photos for inclusion in
your site. Its chief use is to aid
the design process by improving
efficiency (avoiding having to
import photos one by one) and
convenience (making photos
always-at-hand). For photo-rich
websites in particular, perhaps
based on a WebPlus design
templates, the Media Bar is a
valuable tool for dragging photos
directly onto unwanted pictures
to replace them.
The Media Bar can be used as a temporary storage area before placing photos in
your site, or it can be used to create more permanent photo albums from which
you can retrieve stored photos at any time. By default, photos are added to a
temporary album but remember to click the New Album button if you want to
save your album for later use. Each time you start WebPlus you simply load that
saved album (or any other saved album) or just work with a temporary album—
the choice is yours!
