Author Thumbnail location

The first time I used auto thumbnail it asked me where to store the
thumbnail. The second time it did this automatically and stored it in
some temp location. How do I get it to use a relative path instead of
the temp location?

Make sure you have a web open first (File Menu | Open Web / Site) and that
you have import the images into the current open FP web prior to
using/working with.

I have the web open and I save the image in the image directory. I then
insert the picture and hit the auto-thumbnail icon. Maybe I don't
understand what you mean but "import". I did not use the "import" under
"file" but I didn't do it the time it worked either.

With the web open you must import or drag/drop the image into the open web
(images folder), then insert them on your page, then select change to a
thumbnail.

I tried what you just advised and it says it puts the thumbnail in
"file:///C:/DOCUME~1/Will/LOCALS~1/Temp/FrontPageTempDir/Angelsfurniture2_small.jpg"
but it is not there and that is not even where I want it. I want it at
images/thumbnails/. This is where it went the first time I used auto
thumbnail but each time I use it now the thumbnail goes into that temp
dir.

If you are creating a new page for the thumbnails, you need to save the page
first before adding the image and making them thumbnails.

I know you must be getting tired of this but that did not work either.
I guess I will go back to doing it the old fashion way, make the
thumbnails in photoshop and link them to the large image.

It just doesn't make sense the I got a window asking me where to put the
thumbnails the first time and I have not gotten it since.

Thanks for your help though.

Now I got it. It is when you save the file it askes you where to save
the imbedded image. Thanks agian.
