Put Image From Page
About the extension
( Finds and selects ) or ( Finds and Uploads ) and image straight from the open document.
This extension can be a timesaver for those with large or scattered assets. It can be frustrating rummaging through stacks of oddly ( and similiarly ) named image files for upload.
For instance, if you have just exported a few images from Fireworks to DW after making changes to images already existing on the page and need to upload them quickly without searching through many folders, selecting them individually and uploading them, you can upload them directly from the open page.
Similiarly you can just locate the image on a particular page in the site very easily and quickly.
Some features are limited for Dreamweaver versions 3 and 4 however it is still fully functional. Read below.
