When you work with FP, you are working separate environment from the rest of your HD.

When you import (drag-n-drop) items into your current open FP web, then the extensions catalog and
index the item as being part of that web by establishing relative links to the items within the web
environment.

Relative links allows the site to be published to another location without the user having a need to
know the file structure of the destination site, as well tracking what pages a items appears in or
are associated with. This is why FP can update links between items when item is re-named or moved
from one location to another within the current web.
