The commands in this extension are intended to perform some common tasks when working with pages in Fireworks CS4. Some of the commands, like Delete and Rename, replicate existing functionality but are useful if you want to assign a keyboard shortcut to that feature. Like the existing menu item, the Duplicate command duplicates the current page, but inserts it after the current page, names it the same as the current page, and then navigates to it.

The other commands include:

Distribute Frames to Pages

This command moves the content from each frame in a document to a new page, named the same as the frame. Note that the command will not run if the document contains sub-layers.

Import Files into Pages

This command is useful for combining several existing files as pages in a new document. When the command is run, it displays a dialog in which you can select the files you want to combine. Select one or more PNG files and click OK. A new document will be created and each file will be imported into a new page that has the same dimensions as the original file. Note that because Fireworks requires layer names to be unique across pages, the layers from the source files may be renamed.

Apply Export Settings to All Pages

This command takes the export settings on the current page and applies them to all pages in the document.

Crop All Pages to Selection

This command makes it easy to apply the same cropping area to all pages in the document. To specify the crop area, select some elements whose bounding box will be used for the crop, or else make a selection with the bitmap marquee tool. When you then run the command, all the pages will be cropped to that area.

Go to <1 - 10>

These commands are useful for creating keyboard shortcuts to jump directly to the first through tenth pages. Go to First jumps to the first page in the document, and Go to Last jumps to the last.
