WebDAV, and RDS (available only if RDS is selected as the Access option from the Remote Info category). Because the testing server can also be the local computer, it is possible to select a server technology without specifying an access method. Because we're not working with server technologies just yet, I'll keep the option None for both Server Model and Access menus. The Cloaking Category As we progress through the chapter, you'll learn about features such as site synchronization, file Get and Put, and more. As you work with some of these operations, you might decide that you'll need to exclude files in an effort to improve the performance of Dreamweaver's site-scanning capabilities. Furthermore, you might decide to explicitly exclude certain files from consideration during these operations. The Cloaking category exists for this reason. Shown in Figure 4.15, the Cloaking category of the Site definition dialog allows you to hide folders and ultimately files and prevent them from being used within a variety of Dreamweaver operations including site synchronization, Get and Put, find and replace, and more. This category also provides the option of tweaking cloaking options to cloak only those files with specific extensions. Figure 4.15. The Cloaking category allows you to enable or disable cloaking and even allows you to cloak files with specific extensions. [View full size image]   The Cloaking category exposes the following functionality: Enable cloaking: Enables or disables cloaking. Cloak files ending with: When the Enable Cloaking option is enabled, this check box also becomes enabled. You can then click this check box to enter specific file extensions separated by spaces to exclude all files with the specified extension type. Because we'll be discussing cloaking in more detail later in the chapter, make sure that the Enable Cloaking check box is selected. The Design Notes Category Covered in more detail in Chapter 12, "Building Dreamweaver Websites within Teams," Design Notes let you share and edit information about pages within a site with members of a team. By enabling Design Notes on the screen shown in Figure 4.16, you can create text-based notes which are in turn saved to a _notes folder in the site's root. Figure 4.16. Enable collaborative note sharing for a site using Design Notes. [View full size image]   A complete list of features available through the Design Notes category is listed here: Maintain Design Notes: Enables or disables Dreamweaver's ability to keep Design Notes. Clean Up: As you will see, Design Notes are associated with pages. If pages are no longer needed or are deleted, Dreamweaver doesn't necessarily delete its respective Design Notes. Click this button to manually delete Design Notes not associated with pages. Upload Design Notes for sharing: Check this option to make Design Notes available to other members of your collaborative team. If this option is selected, Design Notes are automatically transferred to the remote computer. If you just want to maintain Design Notes for yourself, disable this option. Although we won't be discussing Design Notes until Chapter 12, it won't affect our work if we enable these options now. So make sure that the Design Notes check box is selected and that the Upload Design Notes for Sharing check box is selected as well.
