Always open files in code view?

I never use design view and it's very annoying that Dreamwaver CS4 can't seem to understand and remember that. I can be editing a file one day in code view, and when I open the file again the next day it opens in design view!? Is there a setting for this somewhere or is this a bug? Any suggestions for a solution?

The preference to open in Code view prevents that page type from being opened any other way. It means open ONLY in Code view.
The way that Dreamweaver opens documents follows a logical pattern. If no document is open, the first document is opened in whichever view was active when the last document was closed or Dreamweaver was shut down. If a document is already open, Dreamweaver opens the next document in the same view.
If you always work in Split view, as I do, all documents will open in Split view. The only exception is if you open a file that is set to open in Code view only. If that document is active when you open a new document, it will also be in Code view.
It's logical and simple to understand. If you don't like the way it works, file an enhancement request through the official form at https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform.

Always open files in code view (with option to switch back to design/split)

I almost never use design view and it's very annoying that Dreamwaver CS4 can't seem to understand and remember that. I can be editing a file one day in code view, and when I open the file again the next day it opens in design view!? Is there a setting for this somewhere or is this a bug? Any suggestions for a solution?
Someone suggested I add the relevant suffixes in the "Open in code view" field (Preferences > File Types / Editors) but Adobe has decided that if I choose to always open a certain file type in code view via this method, I will not be allowed to temporarlily switch to design/split view.
Any other suggestions?

All I can suggest is that you post an official feature request via the official form and wait for Adobe to implement something in CS6 or CS7 (assuming the feature set for CS5 is set in stone by now).

AppleScript or Terminal Control for "View Options"/"Always open in ... view

Greetings, folks!
I have not been able to figure out how to script (or, even better, a Terminal command line) control of the "Always open in (name of view) view" checkbox in the “View Options” panel for LARGE numbers of windows; I prefer not to use GUI scripting, it takes too long.
I do not EVER want that box unchecked and do not want to have to manually check many thousands of folder’s checkboxes. As soon as I can figure this out, I will set every folder on my hard drives to always open in list view and write a script such that any folder created will automatically be set to always open in list view.
AppleScript can set every attribute value in a window, except the "Always open in (name of view) view" checkbox.
I have always expected that the data would be stored in the “.DS_Store” file, but, AFAICT it is not; changing the value for a “.DS_Store” file, logging out and back in, and then re-opening it in HexEdit or BBEdit showed the pre-change and post-change files to be identical.
Thoughts?
Thanks!!

Additional info, in case anyone is running into this issue...
If I do the following with the "root level" of the disk image, I can set the "Always Open in List View" option.
1. Open the "root level" view of the disk image - for me, it always opens in icon view. Then, select "Show View Options" from the View menu.
2. Check the "Always Open in Icon View" box. While leaving this dialog open, select "as List" from the View menu.
3. Uncheck the "Always Open in Icon View" box. It will instantly turn into "Always Open In List View". Recheck this box immediately, then close dialog. This will make the setting stick.
I've been able to repeat this situation several times. I might be wrong, but it sure acts like a small bug to me. Hope this helps anyone else who might have encountered this issue.

How to link an image file in code view

I can't seem to figure out how to link the image file in code view. It has to be in code view because the image is hidden in Design View so I can't do it in HTML view. Here's the coded section:

How to make 'always open in ... view' check box actually work?

What I need is a "Make 'Always open in ... view' check box work" check box.
Specifically:
I double click on my hard drive icon to open its window. I press command 3 to make it display in column view. I press command J and check "Always open in column view" and check the further check box, "Browse in column view". Then later on having viewed various windows I double click on the hard drive icon and it opens in some other view than column view. So, how to make the check box do what it actually says it will do?
Thanks.
edit: In fact in Panther, and probably other older OS X's, all folders would generally remember (I think) how it was last viewed and use that again. How to make that happen? Thanks.

Kate always open files in a new window after kde upgrade

kate always open files in a new window, instead of the existing window as a new document after kde upgrade to 3.5. someone else have the same experience and have a solution for that ?
cheers,
notz

The problem is solved!
Apparently the Content Disposition: Attachment in the BLOB Download Format Mask does the trick.
For some reason I have to logout and login again in the application to see the change.
I tried changing the Content Disposition to Inline and then back to Attachment, and the file keeps opening in the same window unless I start a new session.
Is there any explanation why it is working that way?
Thanks!

"Always Open In..." View Options for Root Level of a Disk Image File

I ran into a problem/bug tonight that I can't find listed anywhere and was wondering if anyone else has encountered it. I am using Snow Leopard (now 10.6.1), upgraded from the last revision of Leopard.
I create DVD-R sized disk images with Disk Utility (using "Mac OS Extended" only w/o Journaling) for saving downloaded files. Because of the number of files on this disk, I create single-letter folders (for alphabetical filing) and set up these disk images to "Always Open In List View". For the individual folders, I can set these to "Always Open In List View" without a problem. However, for the "root level" of these disk images, I can only access "Always Open In Icon View" no matter which view option is selected.
For previously created disk images that were already set to "Always Open In List View", these show the previously set "List View" at the disk image "root level" as expected. But if I uncheck the box, it immediately goes to "Always Open In Icon View". And like before, no matter which view option is selected, I can never get back to "Always Open In List View". Note also that I can set this option as expected for "root levels" of real disks - this only seems to be a problem with the disk image files.
I had no problems at all with this under Tiger or Leopard. I've only run into this now under Snow Leopard. The upgrade tonight to 10.6.1 hasn't seem to affect this problem.
So should I be doing something differently now to get this option to reappear, a possible conflict with something on my computer or is this a bug with Snow Leopard? Can anyone else duplicate this issue?

Additional info, in case anyone is running into this issue...
If I do the following with the "root level" of the disk image, I can set the "Always Open in List View" option.
1. Open the "root level" view of the disk image - for me, it always opens in icon view. Then, select "Show View Options" from the View menu.
2. Check the "Always Open in Icon View" box. While leaving this dialog open, select "as List" from the View menu.
3. Uncheck the "Always Open in Icon View" box. It will instantly turn into "Always Open In List View". Recheck this box immediately, then close dialog. This will make the setting stick.

I set firefox to open a filetype (.SGF) w/ a program but it doesn't, so I set it to save/ask and neither option works, it always opens file link in a new tab.

I've gone into the Options and set the .SGF file to open with Smartgo. It refuses to do that. Clicking on a link to a .SGF file simply opens the file as text in a new tab.
Since this didn't work, I tried to set firefox to download it instead, because then I can use the window's filetype associations to open it. It won't download the file unless I actually right-click and save-as on the link.
This is tedious when viewing lots of these files. I even set it to Ask me after I saw the the Download option didn't work. It doesn't Ask me. What is going on here?
Also I am using firefox 23
EDIT: It seems to be website specific. Some websites will allow me the option to open it in Smartgo, others will just open it in a tab as text. What is causing this discrepancy and can it be surmounted through browser settings?
An example website to showcase the issue is:
http://igokisen.web.fc2.com/wr/lg.html
clicking on any of these links will not download, open, or ask about what you want to do with the file.

That happens if the server sends the file as text/plain.
You can see this if you open "Tools > Page Info > General": Content-Type: text/plain
Files send this way will always open in a tab.

How do I always open email messages as "view message in new tab window"?

Hi, right now my email displays all my messages in a small top window, and the viewed message in a small bottom window. Then when this happens if I click the "view message in a new tab window" button on the displayed email, it will get rid of all my messages and just display the main message in a larger window. I like that. Problem is I have to click that button for each email that I open, and that can be a hassle when I have to open and read hundreds of email messages.
Is there any way I can set the default settings of the email to always open email, by default, as "view message in a new tab window"?

Ok, I looked through the help files and found that if I double click on a message in the main email window (and also click the upper left and upper right arrows to close those windows in the email folder), I almost get to read that entire message in a full window. That's a lot better to know that.

AxAcroPDFLib.AxAcroPDF can't always open files on domain server

We are using the COM tool AxInterop.AcroPDFLib.dll within a VB.NET application to display pdf files that are located on a Domain server. Sometimes, it just displays nothing the pdf window is not visible. It appears that if we navigate to the folder, the file will open. This happens on 2 out of 10 tries.
The files are always able to be opened directly using the Adobe Reader X.
The AxAcroPDFLib tool is placed on a WPF form.
VB.NET code.....
' load filenames from folder into array.
' sort through filenames to find the correct one.
AcrobatPDFview1.LoadFile(tempstring)
'These files are on the domain server
AcrobatPDFview1.setCurrentPage(pagenum)
Any help is appreciated.
Also what is the difference between using .Loadfile and .src to open a file?
tempstring =
appPath & MatchFilesarray(correctfileindex).ToString

Ok. I guess it's just me then.
It's just that I mainly use Photoshop to cut website layouts that are made by other people to use with html. This is why I have absolutely no need for this kind of feature (and I'm a developer, not a graphics designer, so I probably haven't got the slightest clue what graphic designers want), but I'm sure I'm not the only one working like this. Unfortunately Photoshop is the only proper tool (at least that I know of) to work with PSD layouts, so I guess I'll have to live with it.
Thanks anyway.

Always open files on drag'n'drop

The default functionality of Photoshop seems be that when you drag & drop image on photoshop, it places a smart object in the current image. Is there any way to change this annoying feature so that the dragged image would be opened separately instead?
Yes, you can open it by dragging it to a toolbar area or something, but I don't use smart objects (because I mostly use Photoshop to slice layouts) so I'd like it to always just open the dragged file.

Opening in code view in CS5

A while back I posted a discussion seeking information about having PHP files open in code view instead of design view. (CS4).
I found out that I was able to tell PHP files to open in code view, but for some reason the creators of DW saw it fit to fix it so that if you force files to open in code view, then you could not switch to design view by any means.
As a PHP coder I rearely go into design or split/design view, but I do have an occaisional need to do so.
My question is, has this been fixed in CS5? In other words, can I have my PHP files set to ALWAYS open in code view, but still have the option to simply click on the design/split button and go into design mode?
Thanks,
Cy

I did as you suggested and this morning when I opened DW, then opened the PHP file I was last editing yesterday. The same thing happened. It opened the file in design view.
This particular file is a class and would never really be looked at in design. Nevertheless, though I NEVER put it in design, it opened it that way. So the argument that a file will open in the last view it was in is not valid here either.
I just don't get it. Everybody I have told about this agrees that it is down-right unreasonable to lock out the ability to chose Split or Design just because you told DW to always open PHP files on code view from the preferences. The idea wreaks of a bunch of programmers deciding on usability, which they evidently don't understand in their own little world. I've worked at a major software development company and I know far too well the mentality of programmers who develop far beyond my capabilities.
DW devs, please take note: Just because we want to force open a file in CODE view doesn't mean we don't want to switch to design view at some point for that same file. Forcing us to open files in design is like telling us you know better, and believe me, you don't.
It's really simple - Allow us to set a file type to open only in code view, but don't lock us out by disabling the buttons to switch to split or design if we want.
Cy
PS: A pic of what happens when I force .php files to open in code view:
As you can see, Split and Design are disabled. WHY force this?

Always open files in code view?
