Inserting image from asset panel gives full path

There is a good old asset panel in Dreamweaver, I can insert images, scripts, color as such just by drag & drop from panel. Now I am working on CC2018 ver. and trying to do same task, but dreamweaver gives me a full path from drive root when inserting image.

I've already set local site folder and default image folder in site management panel.

How can I fix the path to relative to working file(or site root), not a path of my drive!, or is this supposed to be like that?

    Did you save your document yet?

    File > Save or SaveAs  folder/filename.html

    The path should then resolve properly.

    You need to define a site as per Project overview and site setup |. Then, when you save the document, the proper link will appear.

    Where do you exactly refer to in the link you gave me?

    I've already define a site by following:

    Site > New Site

    [Site]

    Site name: Dentist site

    Local site folder: /Volumes/Macintosh HD 2/web/school/dentist/html

    [Advanced Settings > Local Info]

    Default Images folder: /Volumes/Macintosh HD 2/web/school/dentist/html/img

    Enable Cache: checked

    Am I looking at completly wrong panel?
