• local root folder selection problem in Vista

  A friend has faced a problem of Dreamweaver, I can't find any info on that. When you define a site, when he tries to define the local root folder in navigation by selecting, the local root folder is set a directory higher than he is chosen.

  I searched for info on the issue and cannot get what it is however when asking around, I had a few more people report the same problem.
  
  I'm not much of a Windows Guy so no matter which another considering issue elsewhere / have any suggestions for fixing it?

• Move a folder to one local root folder to another

  I used Dreamweaver CS4 to build my site, and I became basically familiar with how it works. Now I'm just starting to build a second site - and I met a disconcerting problem.

  I've defined the new site in the usual way and created the local root folder.

  I have a folder full of image files which is currently placed in the local root folder of my old site - I would put this in the local root folder of my new site.

  This may seem silly, but I can't find a way to move this one to the other local root folder Pictures folder. I thought it would be a simple drag & drop move, but it doesn't seem to be a way to do this. I moved the images folder on the desktop, from where it should be easy to drag the icon of the new local root folder in Dreamweaver and drop it in - but it does not work.

  Am I missing something obvious here...?

  You should be able to access your computer directory structure through the files Panel in Dreamweaver.

  Click on the drop down arrow next to the named site (open) in the top of the files Panel and navigate upwards in the rest of your computer. You can then Ctrl + C (copy) the file, again select the name of your site (the Green folders at the bottom of the directory, not in the structure of the computer) and Ctrl + V (paste) the folder where you want to. Content will come naturally with her.

  You could (alternating) copy and paste working within the structure of directories of the computer. Paste it in the new root folder and in Dreamweaver, refresh the view in the files Panel. The folder should appear fine.

  Note that I was not slipping and falling, even though it should work with the latest technique.

• change the local root folder

  Totally newbie here - Sorry for the question of dim-bulb.
  
  I have my current local root folder on my drive C. I bought a new external hard drive and transfer my local root folder to the new external hard drive. Easy peasy, right?
  
  I've copied the existing on my new external hard drive - local root folder then went to 'Set the Sites' and update this section that relates to my site. However, when I try to update, I get a window with the following message "warning: the selected folder does not the current site home page contain.» The site map can be built.
  
  I can't understand what I'm doing wrong. Someone out there who might be able to help? Thank you 1 million.

• 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!

• Adobe: fix local root folder selection problem in Windows Vista and Windows 7!

  Adobe knows about this problem and refused to fix it. It may seem small, but it creates frustration huge and double-issues management in productive environments.

  Adobe is simply display a completely arrogant position towards its loyal users ignoring their pain, or are they deliberately holding them hostage to force the more updates to CS5?

  http://forums.Adobe.com/thread/478327

  Please ask Adobe about this issue.

  Adobe: fix this!

  I had similar problems, and the site in question is something that is easy enough to work around, but it's terrible that is not fixed.  BUT trying to build a slideshow in Fireworks CS4... When you try to access a folder of images, he would NOT choose a folder, it will NOT show the images so you can go a deep folder, and it only allows you to type the path directly.   In other words, the function is BROKEN.

  I've known as the css stylesheet that connects the problem... and it's really annoying... it screws upward extensions of seven projects, it screws the DMXZone extensions...

  For the price of this software, it should be PERFECT... I bought the software $39 with the support which is 1000 times better that this large company gourmet...   Expression Web is sitting on my desk and settle tomorrow.

  My whole team is going to bail out on this fiasco... OH and all reports, Expression Web can correctly pages rendered in Design view... Why Adobe still can't right after all these years?

  I'm really bummed when the answer is to pass another $1000 + upgrade to new version that will be just DIFFERENT bugs that will apparently never set either... what a way to run a business...

• issue of local root folder

  Hello dreamwevaers.

  I just started to learn the dw and I have all ready jostled an obstacle.i made a record by giving it a name site.

  and in my Control Panel files, I can see all the files that sits on my desk! What have I done wrong here?

  the following im tutorial, the guardian has only the project visible site in the panel.but of files that I have as you can see

  number of folders.

  Thank you.

  

  You use Windows 7, right?

  There was a change in the Vista SP2 (which carried over to Win7) to the API that Dreamweaver uses to open this dialog box. Parent this translates to select the folder that you want to select.

  To work around this problem, type the full path to the correct folder, or select a folder in the folder 'project' on your desktop.

• Dreamweaver does not display the images of the root folder

  Dreamweaver does not display the pictures in the folder root in the browser:

  "< a href ="... /... /.. /.. / gen/index.php "> < img src ="... /... /.. ' / gv_logos/gen_logo.png "alt ="Gen"width ="130"height ="60"> < / a >

  "< a href ="... /... /.. /.. / english/mall/home.php "> < img src ="... /... /.. ' / gv_logos/gen_mall_logo.png "alt ="Mall"width ="110"height ="60"> < / a >

  I use Dreamweaver CS6. I checked display > display external file, it is checked. I unchecked it executed the script, still no change.

  I've been in the problem for weeks.

  It's driving me crazy. .

  Thank you all. I finally discovered what the problem was. My ' link to ' was created at the root of the Document.

  For later use, to all those who may have this problem:

  1. Launch Dreamweaver.
  2. Click on "Site" in the top menu.
  3. Select "Manage Sites".
  4. In the 'Manage the Sites' box, select your local site folder. For example, my_new_site
  5. Click on change icon (it's the second icon on the button "Import Site").
  6. The site for my_new_site configuration (for example) is displayed. Now click on "Advanced settings".
  7. Search "link to:" in the options, select 'Site Root '.
  8. Click on 'Save' later, the box disappears.
  9. Click on 'Done'... and you're done!

  You don't need to restart your computer for the settings save constantly. But if that fell safe, Dreamweaver shut down and restart it. All links should display correctly.

  But it is worth mentioning that all of the links in the following format will have to be edited:

  /.../.../main.php

  Just rewrite the link paths not all scripts.

• DW can download the files from the root folder defined bad?

  Can download Dreamweaver inadvertently a file from a local root folder set to the wrong URL?

  I created and uploaded a website ( has) last Monday. This afternoon, I googled a second site, I set up a few months ago (site B). I found it ranked at the top of the page of Google, but Google fourth or fifth entry included the URL of the page 'Contact' of A site.

  I clicked the link and found the 'Contact' of site A page as it should. But when I clicked on the Google cache, I discovered that at one point the site and the Web site B 'Contact' pages (seem to) briefly occupied the same Web page Monday afternoon.

  I don't understand how this could have happened. I did not file for site B last week. I am certain that I didn't wrong download its files to the wrong site. And even if I had, not would be not the whole site - not just a page - have downloaded?

  I hope this question makes sense to someone. I of course do understand.

  Thank you.

  PS I'm using CS4 on a Mac...

  First off I want to ask have you actually checked on the host site to check the structure of the folders in each site? Are the two sites on the same host? Look and see if all of the pages where they are supposed to be.

• In a local storage folder, I can't view messages beyond a certain date

  My most recent e-mail messages in a particular local storage folder cannot be found. I get the message "loading" and nothing happens. I updated for Thunderbird 38.2 this morning and then noticed the problem. It's especially bad, because this block of emails contains most of my banking passwords online.
  My operating system is Windows XP Pro Service pack 3

  Right-click on the folder and select Properties, then on the button repair.

  Note that XP is probably the worst place you can think of to store passwords for banking these days. More out of support most at risk, as you become.

• The local site folder does not open

• Windows 7 Pro seddenly denies access to the local settings folder

  I log on my Win7 PC as an administrator and sometimes see the subfolders and files in my Local Settings folder. There has never been a problem for several years. But a few days ago I tried to navigate to the outlook.pst file is stored, but clicking on the local settings folder generated the message "local settings is not accessible. Access denied. "

  I haven't changed my user profile since I implemented this PC in 2011 and have not changed the password in quite some time. My only recent system change came after I received a warning from Windows Tuesday that trash has been altered. To resolve this problem, I followed the steps in a thread of Microsoft Answers by activating the display of hidden system folders and files, and then deleting the file $recycle.bin. Windows regenerated the trash and I disabled the display of hidden system files. The next day, I discovered my access problem.

  What should I do to fix my access?

  Thanks for letting us share this resolution.

• Thousands of PES files in the root folder of drive D?

  I'm under PSE 13 on a Windows 7 system. I was shocked and horrified to discover, after use of PSE 13 days that the root folder of my D: drive where I have installed PSE13 has nearly SEVEN THOUSAND files! These are for the most part of the xml, bmp, jpg, psd, mp4 and .gif files. It is an absolute no no prospects of a good Windows file system management. Applications should NEVER store hundreds or thousands of files in the folder root of the drive, one. That is why the sous-sous-sous-dossiers/sous-sous-sous-repertoires.  Can you imagine the chaos if every application developer did it?

  More surely there be a way to specify where these organizing files can be stored and place them in the folder of my hard disk where they are absolutely not?

  mxgordon wrote:

  ... Unless it started in PES 11 I had installed before the upgrade to 13, however, when 11 was installed, it's all on the C: drive. I pass the process of conversion of the catalogue of 11 to 13.

  The files usually have names like 'B0000000.pref', 'B0000002', 'B0000005.dat', B0000006.xml, 'B0003495.xml', 'B0003496.bmp', ' "B0006834."» "JPG", "B0006816.psd" and a huge 2 GB of files "Photoshop Temp2287141416368".

  What you show, it is the content of a backup folder. It's a pretty common problem to find all the files in a folder root of a drive when the destination of the backup folder was not specified, the drive letter.

  A backup folder contains files renamed image as "". B000000 ". "JPG", where the suffix is maintained. All the other files and subfolders are renamed in the original catalog file. More important still, the backup folder contains the two most important files, "catalog.buc"(a copy renamed your database "catalog.pse11db" and a "backup.tly" file that contains all the information to rename the files and store them in their structure of tree of file origin of the command of the "restoration" of the Organizer. Catalog backup file is usually created on an external EHD. The restoration process normally allows you to set the location of the main folder on the backup drive. Users don't often specify a folder to create for this purpose; I always recommend to create the backup folder before the restore process.

  Your case is a little more complicated due to several factors:

  -you have converted from version 11 to 13

  -you have installed an SSD

  -you have installed software elements on D: which is something not 1% of typical users will do.

  This and your answer shows that you and only you can find what you've done to get the contents of a backup in the root folder. The answer requires you to remember all of the previous steps, you have done to convert the backup and migrate to the D: drive.

  What is not clear to me of your two different messages, is if the problem is to find files cumbersome and unnecessary in the root or folder if you have also problems with your catalogs and library of image files. If you have no problem to remove unwanted files from the root folder, you simply use Explorer to delete all files starting with "B00" over the catalog.buc and backup.tly file. Instead of delete, you can even move them to a newly created folder: this will create a valid backup folder.

  Thanks in advance for your comments, they can be very useful for other users.

• Problem adding a folder of images

  Hi, I have been a user of Lightroom 5 for a while now and everything was absolutely perfect, but I now have a problem adding a folder to put the images in LR.  I checked using "Finder" that the images are still there on my external hard drive, which fortunately they are, but when I navigate to that folder in the section "Add files" it shows no images at all, and the 'Import' button is grayed.  There is a new catalog, I created for 2015 customers otherwise the only other change is that I have been preselected a few images using photomechanical moved selected files into a new folder created by me.  Otherwise I have not changed anything else from my usual game to the top.  As a validation test, I tried adding several different sets of RAWS in different folders (which I have previously worked on in other catalogs so I know they were fine before), but I'm having the same problem.  Please can anyone help shed light on what clearly is a bit a killer of productivity right now!  Thank you very much

  DJ - it's a Canon 5 d Mk III, using Lightroom 5.7, and the images are all of the FIRST.  All images have been imported from the map in a folder on my external hard drive, before I used photomechanical to them for review.

  I am pleased to say that the problem is now solved.  I found another thread in forum with many people have exactly the same problem and with various corrections that have worked for them but not for me.  Then I found one that worked for many people - just expand the Destination panel and hey presto - all images appeared.  How weird randomly - I do not know how it was fixed, but there, so now I'm still productive.

  Thanks again to you and Joe for all your interest and your willingness to help - its much appreciated!  I'm now going to edit some pictures
