Page 412
Note: You can still perform an operation on a specific cloaked file or folder by selecting the item in the Files panel and performing an
operation on it. Performing an operation directly on a file or folder overrides cloaking.
Cloak and uncloak specific file types
You can indicate specific file types to cloak, so that Dreamweaver cloaks all files ending with a specified pattern. For example, you can cloak all
files ending with the .txt extension. The file types that you enter do not have to be file extensions; they can be any pattern at the end of a filename.
Cloak specific file types within a site
1. In the Files panel (Window > Files), select a site that has site cloaking enabled.
2. Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh), then select Cloaking > Settings.
3. Select the Cloak Files Ending With option, enter the file types to cloak in the box, and click OK.
For example, you might enter .jpg to cloak all files with names ending in .jpg in your site.
Separate multiple file types with one space; do not use a comma or semicolon.
In the Files panel, a red line appears through the affected files, indicating that they are cloaked.
Some software creates backup files ending in a particular suffix, such as .bak. You can cloak such files.
Note: You can still perform an operation on a specific cloaked file or folder by selecting the item in the Files panel and performing an
operation on it. Performing an operation directly on a file or folder overrides cloaking.
Uncloak specific file types within a site
1. In the Files panel (Window > Files), select a site that has site cloaking enabled.
2. Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh), then select Cloaking > Settings.
3. In the Advanced Site Definition dialog box, do one of the following:
Deselect the Cloak Files Ending With option to uncloak all the file types listed in the box.
Delete specific file types from the box to uncloak those file types.
4. Click OK.
The red lines disappear from the affected files, indicating that they are uncloaked.
Uncloak all files and folders
You can uncloak all files and folders in a site at the same time. This action cannot be undone; there is no way to re-cloak all items that were
previously cloaked. You have to re-cloak items individually.
If you want to temporarily uncloak all folders and files, then re-cloak those items, disable site cloaking.
1. In the Files panel (Window > Files), select a site that has site cloaking enabled.
2. Select any file or folder in that site.
3. Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh), then select Cloaking > Uncloak All.
Note: This step also deselects the Cloak Files Ending With option in the Cloaking category of the Site Definition dialog box.
The red lines through folder and file icons disappear, indicating that all files and folders in the site are uncloaked.
