thank you Steve, I will check it out. Only reason I have this time to do so, I have been sick & home from work for over 5 days now.... can't kick this dreaded chest cold, but I am making the best of it trying to catch up on my Coffeecup software.
Appreciate all the help I am getting. Hope I can return the favor & help someone too.

Thanks Andrew, that for sure will come handy when we do the public release (still a few weeks away).

Thanks. I looked everywhere on rows, columns, etc. & I could not find the original image link. So, I put my image where I thought it should of went. I will follow your direction & try again.
As for making the image the same size as the one being replaced, how do you find out how big the image is? I could not find the image properties or the image file to look up the dimension?


Go to the folder the image is in, right click it and choose properties, you should see the dimensions there for it. You can find dimensions out for any image this way or file sizes etc. if they do not show on your file tree on your computer.

In Windows you can choose to see the dimensions in your file trees (at least you used to be able to), try right clicking on the title button of any column in your file tree such as :
Name, Size, Date, etc. that you see along the top of the list of files.
Now right click and you should see some choices there on what you want to see, Dimensions should be one of them.

On a mac just put the folder you are viewing into the mode to show all items as columns (your view settings of the window at the top). Now click on any file and the information for that file is on the right hand side and if it's an image you get a preview.

Hope that helps :)

Hi Jo ann, That is what I would normally do on my windows PC, but when I am referring to the coast.rsd template I can't seem to open a folder with files in it. Do not know what I am doing wrong.
I thought I would open the coast template folder & see an image folder, open that & then be able to right click on any file to see the properties of that image.
But the only way I can find the image files are in the resource panel inside RSD. That is until Bob showed me how to find the url for the image then using the workaround I referred to above.
Can you tell me how to open the coast.rsd template file to see the individual folders & files in my Windows Explorer?

All the images actually used in the them are placed on our server (S-Drive for now). We plan to do that for themes going forward since there are always right issues, yet people swap them out anyway (and they should!)

So, what Jo Ann was telling you would not work...except that in the hurry to get this to you guys before the new Google algorithm would kick in, we forgot to clean the resource folder and some images (several not used in the theme) were left in the resources. You probably should not use them!

Downloading the image just to check the dimensions as you did is totally ok though :)

When you export your site from RSD, does it not export everything including the images? I've not done so yet as I'm too busy to even get to RSD at the moment, bought it, opened it a little bit to play around, but then had to get back to work on production sites. Anyways, I would think that if you export the project it would spit out everything you have setup in the page(s)? Wouldn't you be able to then get the file from there?

Yes, that is how it works.

Yes, that is how it works.

That's how it works if the theme uses local images from the resource folder. Logically, if the images are linked from an external location, our servers/s-drive in this case, there are no local image files... :rolleyes:

Ok which way is it? Lol, one of you says yes and one says no :P

I see what you mean now Bob and that makes sense.

@ Andrew: I don't know if you have the means to get this program, but Snag-it is a great tool for finding out the size of images, areas etc. I use it all the time, especially with RLMP and I am sure I will with RSD as well. All you need to do then it begin as if you were going to take a screen shot and as you outline the area you want information about it gives you the measurements. Then just hit escape button on your keyboard to cancel the screenshot once you have the size you're looking for.

I would imagine there are tools for this out there that aren't so expensive, I used to use one called screen calipers if you want to see if that is still around. Google probably would help there.

Tools like this are great because RLMP and I will assume RSD as well show you the actual size of things so you can measure them right on your screen using these tools and get the correct sizes you need for your images or spaces.

Granted it won't tell you the actual image size of the image itself, only the size of the spaces you are putting them in, but really that's all you need. :)

@ Scott and Bob: theoretically this works in my head (shut up Scott) lol, but wouldn't it work to preview the page in the browser and then right click the image to get the info about it? Or another way would be to preview the page and use the google web tools to view all the images on a page "called Image Information" I believe, on the menu of the Images section of the webtools?
