Copy dialog box on insert file

Question

If you, as an example, insert an external image file into
your page, you get this dialog box that asks if you want to make a
copy to your site files. You say yes and a second dialog box asks
where in your site structure you want to copy the file and the file
becomes part of your site, locally or remotely. I'm not getting
this dialog box when I try and insert a file, any ideas why not?
Also, I'm trying to 'fix' an already built site. Even after
'gettting' the entire site onto a folder on my hard drive and
editing my site manager to that folder, adding files either locally
or remotely seems to be a hit or miss affair. I'm sure I'm missing
something basic here, any ideas what?

If you have set a default "images" folder in the Local
section of this site
defintion, dw automatically assumes you want the file in the
chosen folder
with it's existing filename.
