I have an old site design that get's expended a lot. Therefore i want to organize the structure by moving several old and new .html files to a new folder. Problem is that all the html files used to be in the rooth and so they use the roothlink to the imagemap. ( images/image.gif ). I was edditting every image manually to ( ../images/image.gif ) but it takes me ages to do that. Especially cause there are now so many new pages.

Obviously notepad is not able to mass rename the links, but dreamweaver might be. I know it very well, but i can't seem to find that option. Anyone could help me out?

As far as I know, when in DW, if you drag a file from one place to another, it will popup a window stating that some relative links will be changed. So I believe DW will automatically modify all affected links.

So you mean drag the file while dreamweaver is running? Iam going to try that. And now that i think of it, i can also just save the file in a different folder and dreamweaver auto renames the paths.. how stupid am i.. Been looking way to deep :D

Thanks a lot Vito!

99% of the time that is correct. Just drag the documents in the folder tree to where you want them. What doesn't work is if the .html files are still open. The links (usually) won't change. Save and close all file, then move them.
