Reset Image Sizes utility

Discontinued. This page is available as Help for current users.

This command is used to reset images on your HTML pages to their true dimensions. This is useful if you have made extensive edits to images in, e.g. Fireworks and now wish to refresh their dimensions in your HTML documents. It also easy in DW to inadvertently alter image dimensions when moving images around a page. This command easily resets a whole page of such distorted images to their original size.

It can also be used to add dimensions to images on your pages to speed apparent loading of the page:

A user wrote: "I have 484 pages of images in an online catalogue. I used Photoshop to create a Web gallery, then cut and pasted those pages into a DW template. NONE of the images had dimensions; slowing down the load time in any browser. This extension saved *HOURS* of manually entering the width and height of all those images! Thanks a tonne!" -hcraven

Note: This same technique can be used for a JustSo Photo Album thumbnails page to add image dimensions for speedier page loading!

How-to Use:

Open a document on your Site, and then select "Reset Image Sizes" from the Commands/Valleywebdesigns.com menu. This will open its User Interface, which is quite straightforward.

 

 

Reset Images in:

As always before running a utility that will manipulate your documents, it is best to make a safe, OFFSITE backup, before using this Command, just to be safe.

Do not reset the size of these images:

Here you may add as many imagenames as you wish, with semicolons (and no spaces) between them. These may be spacer images, which are the default imagenames added for you, but also may be a particular image whose altered image dimensions which you may wish to preserve.

NOTE: Due to the way Dreamweaver performs memory-management, if performed site-wide on a large site, this operation may cause a crash when Dreamweaver runs out of memory.

That's all there is to it!
