Folder in the Dreamweaver - DW site chooses wrong location

Over the last 10 years, I've seen a lot of weird bugs in DW, but this one is by far the most confusing.

I just installed Win 7 and I took the chance to do a fresh install. It meant reconfiguring all my sites the Dreamweaver.

In the reconstruction of my local hit, I discovered that whenever I chose a local folder for a website instead of the folder being the local in DW, one immediately above it would be chosen insead.

At first I wrote chalk user error and do things in a hurry, but then I realized it was DW that.

I found a quick solution that inolved drilling to a subdirectory and choose this one. DW will then choose the parent directlory folder of the site. Easy, but also troubling. What else will wreong?

In the cases above is unclear, here's a step by step:

Access the Sites == > manage sites

Click on "Local root folder".

Navigate to the directory 'my sites '.

Open Directory of websites "ClientSite.

Click "choose".

Now in "local root folder" I see this:

D:\My Websites\

Instead of

D:\My Websites\ClientSite

If I do the same thing but instead I drill down to:

D:\My Websites\ClientSite\images

then in "local root folder" I see now:

D:\My Websites\ClientSite

Is this weird or what?

Incidentally, the same applies to the folder of images and in each other the local site DW interface dialog box

If anyone has anb idea what this could be, I would be very grateful. Thank you.

Yes, this is a known bug that Adobe will fix soon hopefully.  It happens in Win7 and I understand as well under Vista.

Two solutions of workaround: type in the correct folderpath in the window field to browse manually or choose a folder level 1 below your real goal - DW will mess it up just right then!

  • The Dreamweaver HTML Site ahead of Wordpress

    Currently, I've built a site that was once created with dreamweaver sound. http://www.savannahwebdesign.NET Recenly I replaced it with wordpress.  He lost 3 points in the standings.   Does this mean that CSS is better than wordpress?  Does anyone know this answer?

    What is important in your SE ranking is not what you used to create the site, but rather how you gave visibility to your keywords and content in the code for the site of the tool.

    The site to which link you has very little content. I'm not surprised that he lost the ranking.

    Muse uses a system of closed model and do not directly edit HTML. you have things backwards. The classic approach is to design a site in Muse, publish to HTML, and then soften in DW if needed.

  • Text truncated when setting "let sites choose their own fonts" enabled

    Hello world

    I'm on windows XP Sp3, with the latest firefox.

    Without good reason, when I have the setting 'let sites choose their own fonts' selected under options/content/fonts and colors / advanced, I see the text that looks like this:

    http://i4.Photobucket.com/albums/y114/brianbotkiller/Untitled-1.jpg

    This occurs even on the clean Firefox support page! In fact, I don't even text to type in my question, if I have the own font setting choose active.

    So what is happening here? I have uninstalled/reinstalled FF, disabled all addons, run in safe mode, cleared caches, FF and EVERYTHING seems just horked. WTF?

    URL of affected sites

    http://Twitter.com

    This problem may be caused by the version of the bitmap of the font Helvetica or Geneva or another font (bitmap) that cannot be displayed by Firefox in this font size.
    Firefox cannot display that font in the specified gibberish of size and display instead.
    You can test in zoom out (view > Zoom > Zoom out, Ctrl-) to make the text smaller.

    Uninstall (remove) all variants of this not working do Firefox, use a different font or find a version of real type of the font that doesn't have the problem.

  • Create the folder in the categories

    Hi all

    I asked to create a Package for Indesign according to the Version folder Structure.

    But the condition is.

    If the path with the Version_3 folder, then the package is posted at this location only.  First choice

    or

    If the path with the Version_2 folder, then the package is posted at this location only.  Second choice

    or

    Try the Code:

    var myDoc = app.activeDocument;

    var to = new file (test3 + "/" + myOutput_Name);

    }

  • Folder on the remote server that is not recognized by Dreamweaver as part of the site

    I run the site of a school district. This includes the home pages and associated pages for all but one of our schools. School files were headed by a teacher of this school's web design. This professor has left, and I was asked to perform some updates on the site from high school up to what a new teacher was hired and able to take charge. My problem is that the folder containing all the files of high schools is one of the many issues in the Group of largest school district, the folders on the remote server, my Dreamweaver does not see. I can use Windows Explorer to find the folder and it's there. I can use a tool such as Notepad ++ to open the files and make changes. They are here and I can visit her profile. But for some reason any Dreamweaver doesn't recognize them not as part of my site. I can't 'get' file, or a synchronization because Dreamweaver does not see this folder on the remote server. I think it's a matter of Dreamweaver, but I don't know how to fix it.

    Thanks for all your suggestions. I'm home now and remembering that I'm working on the site of the House and at work, I realized that I can see the folder of the secondary school on the remote server of the House where I have Dreamweaver to connect via FTP. I can't see it on my computer at work where I connect to the remote server through a local/network connection. There may be a clue here. If I switch to a FTP connection to work, maybe I see the folder.

    UPDATE: I changed the type of connection on my computer work of local/network, FTP and high school record is now visible on the remote control. Don't know why it makes a difference, or if this will lead to new questions, but I'm good for now.

  • How to find 'beginning-dreamweaver-first-site-Web' zip in the local site folder?

    Hallo...

    I download this file already. But somehow it does not appear on the "local site" folder when I want to save it as in the tutorial video suggests...

    What I have to do something else before you save it. ???

    BTW, how to decompress this file...?

    Thank you very much.

    To create the folder root of your local site, use the operating system of your computer to create an empty folder and name it what you want.

    Download a program such as Winzip (Windows) or Stuffit (for MAC) to extract (unzip) your zip file in the folder root of your site.

    Open DW and use your Site Manager to set your new site and enter the local path to the root of your site.

  • How to remove unwanted files from the local root folder of the site?

    Hello

    I work with Dreamweaver CS4 on a Windows PC. I have finished my site but I have a lot of files in my local root folder that I don't want to upload to the server. These unwanted files are for most of the photos that I should not be used in my site. I do not understand how to download the site on the server using ftp and remote folder in Dreamweaver. I suppose that if I move the page html files to the remote folder that my photos will not be associated with these html files automatically. I used a Dreamweaver template during the construction of the site. I wish I had a folder with only the necessary files for the site (all html pages and a folder of images) to upload to the server. Is there an easy way to move all my pages and images associated with a folder or remove all unwanted files in the local root folder? As I see it now, I'll have to go through all my pages and write down each title of the photo and then go back and delete each unwanted file. This seems a lot of your time, so I thought that there must be an easier way, I hope.

    Any help or ideas will be of course very appreciated, thanks, dluthier

    I guess you mean 'work' files, not the images that you use in your Web site.

    If they are not related to all pages of your site, you are free to move by using your computer's file management tools. I can give you specific instructions, if you wish, but the short of it is that you do not keep them in the folder root of your site at all.

    In my way of working, I have a folder for each client that includes:

    • The correspondence of this client folder
    • Folder to 'Work'... the PNG images, etc., or of the images from the client
    • Record the site root

    When I get e-mail, I save the message in the appropriate folder of correspondence, I save the images etc in the folder of 'Work' to the customer and I only save images and other who have already been optimized in the Site folder, keep it as intact as possible.

    Even if the general warning must always use the files Panel to move files around, that applies to files which are linked and form part of the structure of your Site. Moving your files 'work' outside of the structure can be carried out safely in windows explore your PC.

    That said, if you need to download and there are files you want to download, or to move, you can 'hide' the in the files Panel by right-clicking on the file name and choosing 'Cloaking '.... "in the context menu that appears.

    To the point that the image files that are downloaded to the remote site will not 'automatically' be associated with your html files. That is right. Unless you have configured explicitly links or associations between files, images will not associate themselves!

    On the subject of 'automatic' way to do this, you can make a link to check on all of your local site. Window > results > Link Checker will bring up the appropriate window, which will give you the choice: broken links, external links and orphan files (this is the one you want). Use the green triangle tower at the left end of the Link Checker to set your auditor... Current Local Document or a set current site.

    If you want to make a checklist to ensure that you move them all, you can save the report by clicking on the small icon "Floppy" under the Green turn the triangle. Who will be on a file text and make up a dialog that you save the report, which will show the broken links, external links and orphaned files. After you move the files to your heart's content, rerun the link check and confirm that you moved the files you want to move. Make sure that you DON'T move files consciously... do not move the .htaccess files or .cgi files, etc.

    Who will save you from actually having to 'write' file names!

  • How to transfer the Dreamweaver site in another computer?

    Hello! So I worked on Dreamweaver to design a Web site for the school. I need to transfer it to one of the mobile school (which has no Dreamweaver on it) so that I can present it to the class. Now, my question is how can I do this? I need to have the file on a USB (or Google Drive) is possible to transfer the Dreamweaver project on the laptop if it doesn't have Dreamweaver? Or is there some kind of workaround for it? If it helps, I use a desktop computer Windows at the school and my school Macbooks.

    PS I'm a high school student who is new to the Web design and have never used Dreamweaver until last week. Any help is really appreciated.

    If your site does not use scripts on the server side, all you need to do is copy the folder that contains the files of the site on another storage such as a USB key.

    This is no different than files that are created by using other applications such as Word or Excel.

  • The dialog box (Site manager) is frozen in dreamweaver CS5.

    Hello
    Dialog manage site opens very well and I can reproduce an existing site, but when I click to edit a site, or click to create a new site, the dialog boxes that open then for each are frozen. I can add the local folder on the new site and the name of the server, but I can not add a server to a new site, and I can't change anything in an existing site.

    The only thing I did recently (last few months) is with the regular windows update Windows updates. I also installed a program called WP Easycart (administration panel) which connects to a WordPress site that I do not edit or connect with Dreamweaver. I have not changed anything on Dreamweaver or added modules or extensions. Would it maybe a windows update that caused it to stop working?

    DW is intended to be used with a "Local Root folder" for each site that you create with it. You should never have a reason to record in the program of DW records. Take a minute to review the creation of a Site definition in DW...

    In other words, the FOLDER that contains all the site different files of configuration (.ste) that are displayed in the window 'manage the Sites?

    Thank you

    I use Windows 7.

    I realized that there is a "Site Cache" folder in the Configuration... but this folder contains that * SOME * of the .ste files that are already imported into 'manage the Sites '.  Maybe 75% of the sites that show in the menu "Manage Sites".   But about 25 percent of the sites that are visible and accessible in 'Manage the Sites' are NOT in the folder "Cache of the Site".

    The Site Cache to hold information for the Sites that you have worked with in DW.
