Changing filename constraints


    GoLive alerts you if you use a filename that doesn't meet the designated filename constraints. GoLive provides several constraint sets, or you can create your own sets. GoLive's default set is called the GoLive standard, a combination of Windows 98/NT/2000/XP, Mac OS, and UNIX. Other sets are GoLive strict, GoLive lower case, Windows (applies to Windows 98/NT/2000/XP), DOS/Windows 3.1, Mac OS, Mac OS X, and UNIX. You can also select the File System Default set to have your operating system enforce filename constraints instead of GoLive.

To change filename constraints:

  1. Do one of the following:
    • To change filename constraints for the active site only, click the Site Settings button Site Settings button on the toolbar or choose Site > Settings. Then click Filename Constraints in the left pane, and then select Site Specific Settings.
    • To change filename constraints for all sites, choose Edit > Preferences, expand Site in the left pane, and then click Filename Constraints.
  2. Choose a set of constraints from the Selected Constraints menu.
  3. Click OK.

To add a set of filename constraints:

  1. Do one of the following:
    • To add a set for the active site only, click the Site Settings button Site Settings button on the toolbar or choose Site > Settings. Then click Filename Constraints in the left pane, and select Site Specific Settings.
    • To add a set for all sites, choose Edit > Preferences, expand Site in the left pane, and then click Filename Constraints.
  2. Choose a set of filename constraints from the Selected Constraints menu that most closely matches the set of constraints you want to use.
  3. Click Duplicate. This creates a new duplicate set. You can edit and delete a duplicate set, but you can't delete the original.
  4. Enter a name for the new set in the Selected Constraints text box.
  5. Edit the set in the other text boxes as necessary.
  6. Click OK.
