Set options for finding and replacing in multiple files

When finding and replacing among multiple files, specify how Fireworks handles multiple open files after the search.

  1. Select Replace Options from the Find panel Options menu.

  2. Select Save And Close Files to save and close each file after the find and replace.

    Only the originally active documents remain open.

    Note: If Save And Close is disabled and you are batch‑processing a large number of files, Fireworks can run out of memory and cancel the batch process.

  3. Select a Backup Original Files option:

    No Backups
    Finds and replaces without backing up original files. The changed files replace the original files.

    Overwrite Existing Backups
    Creates and stores only one backup copy of each file changed during a find and replace. If you perform additional find‑and‑replace operations, the previous original file always replaces the backup copy. The backup copies are stored in a subfolder called Original Files.

    Incremental Backups
    Saves all backup copies of files changed during a find and replace. The original files are moved to an Original Files subfolder within their current folder, and an incremental number is appended to each filename. If you perform additional find‑and‑replace operations, the original file is copied to the Original Files folder, and the next higher number is added to its filename. For example, for a file named Drawing.png, the first time you find and replace, the backup file is named Drawing‑1.png. The second time you find and replace, the backup file is named Drawing‑2.png, and so on.
