   I have quite a number of Project Seven Products. It would be great if there was a way to control where each product installed its files. Currently each Project Seven product makes a separate directory in the root folder. At the very least they should put themselves in a P7 master folder. This would keep a site much tidier and uncluttered. If there is an easy way to relocate where P7 products put their directories please let me know. Thanks.

   Slightly Perturbed,

   In dreamweaver create your master folder and then drag the individual product folders into it. Dreamweaver will automatically adjust the paths to show the new location.

   @slightlyperturbed - I used to feel the same way --- but like the way they are set up to install in a directory next to the page they are applied to. I think you'll also change your mind if you have a site that you use various p7 widgets for different things and may want pages to use different local versions of the scripts and the css for maintenance purposes or testing purposes. Or maybe you have a client who has multiple sites combined... that is something I like to do.

   For my regular sites, if there is not a reason to keep the p7 scripts separate, I do just as Bob suggested - create a master folder and drag and drop the p7 stuff into it. Dreamweaver does adjust most of the paths. I'm using an older version (the last boxed version) which sometimes DW does not adjust all the paths to assets in the css, but those are easy to fix, and the newer versions probably change those automatically for you.
