Design Binder

Design Binder

(OP)
To me, a convenient way to add files to the Design Binder, especially when there are multiple files, is to drag-drop them from the windows explorer, but it seems like the only way SW will do this is to make them linked attachments.  This, in my experience makes the requirement that the files must be copied and/or moved with (accompany in some way) the SW file in order to access them.  I've tried to CTRL drop, SHIFT drop, anything I can think of to change the mode to embed, but can't.  Is there an easy way? or do you just have to one-at-a-time attach the files through SW attach interface?

Thanks
Mike

RE: Design Binder

As far as I know, you can only do one at a time. Maybe an enhancement request.

I was afraid of that ... I guess it's not terrible, just would be handy.  Something that goes along with that kind of, is it would be nice to be able to change, at least from linked to embedded, but appears the only way is to delete and reattach.

Thanks for info,
Mike
