The Set \ Clear Resources dialog is used to either remove resources from your current publication or change one resource for another within your publication.
Use the Clear the resources option if you want to remove resources from your current publication. By default, this option is selected.
Note:
If an object is using a resource (e.g. a graphic in an Image object), and you remove it, the object remains on the page in the publication but the resource is removed.
Use the Set the resources to this file option if you want to change a resource for another within your publication. The Browse… button below the option will highlight when this option is selected, clicking the button will open the Windows Open dialog in which you can locate the new resource you want to use.
Note:
This option is very useful if you have the same graphic used on 50 different pages in your publication because you can set the graphic to a new resource filename and the new graphic replaces the old graphic on all 50 pages.
Use the Apply To panel to set which resource file are affected by the Clear resource (point 1 above) or Set resource (point 2 above) option you selected.
Use the All Resources option in the Apply To panel if you want to clear or set all the resources in your publication.
Use the Resource Folders Selected in Tree option in the Apply To panel if you want to clear or set all resources in the folder currently selected in the Organiser of the Resource Manager window.
Note:
Tick the Apply to Sub Folders option if you want to clear or set all of the resources in any sub-folders of the currently selected folder.
Use the Resources in the selected pages/chapter/components option in the Apply To panel if you want to clear or set all resources in pages, chapters or components that are currently selected in the Organiser of the Resource Manager window.
Note:
This option is only available when you have displayed resources using the Choose By Page, Choose By Chapter or Choose By Component button in the Choose toolbar – see Resource Manager Toolbar for more information.
Use the Resources Selected in List option in the Apply To panel if you want to clear or set only the resources that have been selected in the Resource pane of the Resource Manager window.
Note:
In the Resource pane, hold down the Shift key as you select the top and bottom name in the Filename column if you want to include a range of resources. Alternatively, hold down the Ctrl key if you want to select individual resources in the Resource pane.
Use the Use Filter option if you want to further refine the list of resources that will be cleared or set. This will apply the current filter set in the Filter Resources dialog.
Note:
If you have not yet created the filter, click the Set Filter button to open the Filter Resources dialog – see Filter Resources dialog for more information.
Click the OK button to save your changes and to start the Set resources or Clear resources in motion.
