Update Links setting absolute path

Report · Apr 27, 2017

In the root of my project I have a starter page that I copy and then move to the required folder to start work on the new page.

Dreamweaver asks if I want to Update the links and I select Update. The page has an image and the link to that image is correctly updated with the new relative path. The image has a link and Dreamweaver is writing that as an absolute path to the local drive.

I cannot find a setting so that the path is rewritten as a relative path. Is there one please?

Yes I have and the target topic is the index page in that site.

I have just created some more copies of the starter page. On moving those, the link is being created correctly.

It seems the elves were at play. Thank you for responding.
