Freeway Reference: Getting Started

Saving and opening ﬁles

After you have created your document, you need to save it.

Freeway saves documents in its own format, not as HTML. Only

Freeway can open and save Freeway documents. To export a

document as HTML, you must use the Publish or Preview

commands.

Saving your document

To save a file that not been saved before, choose Save from the

File menu. Freeway will display the Save dialog box, which you

can use to specify where you wish to save the document. The

default is to your Documents folder.

Choose a location, then type a file name for your Freeway

document. You should make the document file name simple

and informative, so that you can identify it easily in the future.

It does not matter what name you give the document file, as

this file remains on your system and is not uploaded to the

web. Do not use an extension, such as .html, since this may

cause problems later. Mac OS X filenames can be long enough

to be descriptive. Freeway will automatically add a “.freeway”

extension to the file name—this identifies the document to the

system as a Freeway document.

You may wish to keep both the Freeway document and the Site Folder together for ease of administration. However, we do not

recommend that you keep the Freeway document inside the Site Folder itself, as that can cause problems. Freeway will automatically

create a folder structure for you if you use a template for your new design. For more information about Site Folders, see Creating and

assembling content on page 13.

When you have made some changes to the file, use the Save command again. When you choose Save in a document which has already

been saved, Freeway updates that file with the new information without asking you for a file name again.

Freeway does not automatically save as you work. As with any software program, remember to save your document frequently to

minimize the danger of losing work.

Saving your document with a new name

To create a copy of your document with a new name, either duplicate the file in the Finder, or use the Save As… command in Freeway’s

File menu to specify a new filename.

Saving your document as an archive

Saving your document as an archive allows you to save your

project in its current state along with copies of associated

graphics and other resources. This is useful if you want to take

periodic backups while working on a site, or if you wish to copy

a document, with all its resources, to a different volume.

When you save an archive, Freeway creates a new folder and

saves a copy of your document together with a Media folder

containing graphics and other resources, and an empty Site

folder.

To save an archive:

1. Choose Save Archive… from the File menu. (You will be

asked to save changes if the document has been modified

since it was last saved.)

2. Navigate to the folder where you want your archive folder

to be created.

3. Click the Save Archive button.

4. Provide a name for the archive folder that will be created and click OK.

5. The archive will be created and your original Freeway document will then be reopened.

One of the benefits of creating an archive is that it gathers together all the files for your project, including the Freeway file, copies of all

the original graphics you imported, multimedia files, etc., and then it will place them all in a single convenient location. This makes it

an ideal way to make a backup of your project by burning it to CD/DVD or to move the project to a different computer.

If Freeway won’t let you save an archive it is usually because there are one or more resources missing. To fix that, go to Edit>Resources

and check through the list of resources to find the first one which has a status of “Missing”, select it in the list, click Edit, click Locate

and then relink to the original resource file. Relink to all other missing resources you can find (you may have moved or delete some)

then click on the Update All button and click OK when Freeway asks if you wish to “detach” any missing resources. Freeway will now

let you save the archive.

If you open the archive folder you will see that it contains the Freeway file, a fresh clean Site Folder (which will be empty until you first

publish your site) and a folder called “Media” which contains copies of all the resources used in your site project.

The Save As dialog box in its default state.

The Save Archive dialog box. After clicking Save Archive you will be

asked to choose a name for the new archive folder
