Yes, but I see you have “add folder” open at the same times so you will need to close that as it is overlapping.

Yes I thought that a new add will erase all was yet existing!  
Seems if a file index.htm is yet existing , its name was increasing like index-1.html so a big mess 🙂

So what i must make for import a new Project from my computer ?  
Erase first one by one each file on the project folder ? Seems multiple selection is not possible…  
I don’t see a Close function on the Web Editor…I surely miss another “hiden” little thing!

Sorry for these trivial questions but that is no simple like File / New, Save, Load, Import, Export, Close 🙂

And Daniel Shiffman has not detailed that on the Web Editor videos ! 🙂

Thanks : very educative but alas not about my specific questions! 🙂  
She just says “Download on your computer as aspected” without details…  
and erase files one by one…  
Seems little short for my trivial problem! 🙂
