About Design Notes and source files

Whenever you export a Fireworks file from a saved PNG source to a Dreamweaver site, Fireworks writes a Design Note that contains information about the file. For example, when you export a Fireworks table, Fireworks writes a Design Note for each exported slice file and for the HTML file that assembles the table slices. These Design Notes contain references to the source PNG file that spawned the exported files.

When you launch and edit a Fireworks image from within Dreamweaver, Dreamweaver uses the Design Note to locate a source PNG for that file. For best results, always save your Fireworks source PNG file and exported files in a Dreamweaver site. This ensures that any user sharing the site will be able to locate the source PNG when launching Fireworks from within Dreamweaver.
