Using Dreamweaver and Fireworks Together

About Design Notes and source files
Whenever you export a Fireworks file from a saved PNG source to a Dreamweaver
site, Fireworks writes a Design Note that contains information about the file. For
example, when you export a Fireworks table, Fireworks writes a Design Note for
each exported slice file and for the HTML file that assembles the table slices.
These Design Notes contain references to the source PNG file that spawned the
exported files.
When you launch and edit a Fireworks image from within Dreamweaver,
Dreamweaver uses the Design Note to locate a source PNG for that file. For best
results, always save your Fireworks source PNG file and exported files in a
Dreamweaver site. This ensures that any user sharing the site will be able to locate
the source PNG when launching Fireworks from within Dreamweaver.
Specifying launch-and-edit preferences for
Fireworks source files
The Fireworks launch-and-edit preferences let you specify how to handle source
PNG files when launching Fireworks files from another application, such as
Macromedia Director or Dreamweaver.
Dreamweaver recognizes the Fireworks launch-and-edit preferences only in
certain cases where you launch and optimize a Fireworks image. Specifically, you
must be launching and optimizing an image that is not part of a Fireworks table
and that does not contain a correct Design-Note path to a source PNG file. In all
other cases, including all launch-and-edit cases of Fireworks images, Dreamweaver
automatically launches the source PNG file, prompting you to locate the source
file if it cannot be found.
To specify launch-and-edit preferences for Fireworks:
1
In Fireworks, choose Edit > Preferences, and click the Launch and Edit tab
(Windows) or choose Launch and Edit from the pop-up menu (Macintosh).
2
Specify the preference options to use when editing or optimizing Fireworks
images placed in an external application:
Always Use Source PNG
automatically launches the Fireworks PNG file that is
defined in the Design Note as the source for the placed image. Updates are
made to both the source PNG and its corresponding placed image.
Never Use Source PNG
automatically launches the placed Fireworks image,
whether or not a source PNG file exists. Updates are made to the placed
image only.
Ask When Launching
lets you specify each time whether or not to launch the
source PNG file. When you edit or optimize a placed image, Fireworks displays
a message prompting you to make a launch-and-edit decision. You can also
specify global launch-and-edit preferences from this message.
