Insert Images by drag and drop

Can drop images from Windows Explorer into the page while in Design view
Can not drop images from F8 Files window. Apparently that is only for the target link maker.

Insert multiple images at once

best answer: Drop multiples from Windows Explorer

Window->Assets, drag and drop files of interest into the .html page, but hard to find that way (and I think only 1 at a time?)

Dragging from F8 file picker will only add one at a time even if multiples are dropped.

2023-01-07 this may be the most useful, but first, set the default directory by selecting menu Site->Manage Site

then open the Word document and copy paste to avoid failure due to macro permissions
do a search and replace on the path of the file in the image tags
old workaround: create a word document, import all the photos at one time, save the word document. now use file->import in dreamweaver to select the word document

i though these links would help, but they are for clicking a thumbnail and seeing a larger version

Commands->Create Web Photo Album SEEMS TO BE FOR NEWER VERSIONS

FOR MY VERSION READ THIS ONE WHEN I HAVE A CHANCE

Site Creation

If dreamweaver has a site open rather than just a standalone .html page, links are automatically updated when elements move

checking links    which I used to prompt for site creation for an existing set of .html files

managing files and folders - need to create dreamweaver site first
