Adding multiple Resource files in one step

Thanks for the reply – I actually did review that same item right after I posted and that was a major help.

 I did find a handy workaround for getting lots of files into resources at once. I created my presentation and just added one file via Resources to ensure that the “external_files” folder would be there. However, I didn’t upload my files using the Resource tab in the Player setup. (That’s the part that would take someone forever.)

 What I did instead was, in the presentation, I used the hyperlink model as above, and pointed the hyperlink to a file that wasn’t yet in the external_files folder at the time. I just copied and pasted this:

story_content/external_files/insertfilenamehere#page=insertpagenumberhere

Since I had to recycle this hyperlink command a lot, I found it easier to put in the generic code first, then circle around to edit whatever was 'insert'  Also, I put in that # item to open the PDF reference to a specific page.

 When I published the production, I went into the output files, went into the story_content/external_files folder, and dropped a bunch of things in there, including the items I had linked to. It worked!

 It’s helpful, because my production references a number of specific Resource files as links, but also contains a lot of extra ones so the user has access to the whole library. When you have like 10 links, but 100 total files, putting stuff in the folder later is really handy.
