Can't get DW to recognize new file extensions

I'm trying to get DW to recognize the following file
extensions as HTML: .pt, .zpt, and no extension.
I tried to follow the instructions in the article "Changing
and adding file extensions recognized by Dreamweaver MX": I entered
the two extensions in all caps in the :All documents and :HTML
documents lists in Extensions.txt. And (just as a guess) I tried
entering two successive commas, hoping they would be interpreted as
"no extension".
None of these tricks has enabled me to open any of the files
from the "Files" list in DW. I just get "Can't find a valid editor
for this file extension."

Thanks, Alan. I was indeed editing the wrong Extensions.txt.
Editing the one under "\Documents and Settings" rather than the one
under "\Program Files" did the trick (I'm running Windows XP).
Hope springs eternal, so let me pursue the question about
extensionless files one step more. I'm trying to use DW as the
editor for developing a Plone site. Plone's basic HTML files are
extensionless, and I fear it would screw up the links within Plone
if I added extensions to these file names. However: Within Plone, I
can designate DW as my external editor, and then (by clicking on an
icon in the Zope Management Interface that underlies Plone) open
the extensionless Plone files in DW (tho only in code view). How
come DW will open a file that was tossed over from Plone, but it
won't open the same file from its own "Files" list?

  • How can I get Firefox to recognize ODM file extensions? Help! bmathias@usf.edu

    Windows7, Firefox version? (not sure what version! it doesn't come up under Properties!) but my computer was just upgraded to Windows7 last week & Firefox reinstalled, so probably the latest version. OverDrive (ODM file extensions) is a DRM software system used by public libraries to limit checkout/access of streamed audio & e-books. But the audiobooks won't download. The troubleshooting directions say that I shoule be able to find the ODM file extension under Tools -- Options -- Applications in Firefox. But it isn't listing. Perhaps this is why the download doesn't work? How do I get Firefox to work with ODM file extension?

    Check the URL that doesn't work.
    ''If it is an http:// URL:''
    When a web server sends Firefox a file, it includes a content-type header. This is what Firefox uses to determine how to handle the file, not the file extension. The server might be sending a generic download type such as "application/octet-stream" which you cannot assign to any one application. That's just a guess because I don't use that software.
    ''If it is an st:// URL:''
    Firefox will check the Windows registry for novel protocols. This article has more information: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Register_protocol

  • How can I get a filename without the file extension?

    I using a JFileChooser to select and read a file. Now I want to get the filename without the file extension
    JFileChooser j = new JFileChooser;
    String file = j.getSelectedFile.getName();
    At the moment I get this result "file.dat". I need only the filename.....
    Thank you
    Thomas

    It's quite that.
    Here is the code to do that (and the method to get only the extension):
         public String getFileName(String text) {
              int ind = text.lastIndexOf(".");
              if(0<ind && ind<(text.length()-1)) {
                   return text.substring(0, ind);
              return(null);
         public String getFileExtension(String text) {
              int ind = text.lastIndexOf(".");
              if(0<ind && ind<(text.length()-1)) {
                   return text.substring(ind+1).toLowerCase();
              return(null);
         }(I used 0<ind instead of ind>0 because with the code formatting there is a bug with > )
    I hope this helps,
    Denis

  • I can't get CS6 to recognize R3D files. I put the plugin and the server files in the proper spot and I used 64 not 32 like it said. I still can't get it to work

    The only thing to do to get the R3D files working is download a plugin pack with 2 files in it. one goes in your plugin folder the other in some other folder. I found both original files and replaced them with the new ones. I have rebooted twice... nothing. it won't recognize R3D files. The Camera is a Red brand Epic Dragon and it puts our R3D files. R3D's are easily manipulated in Redcine, but I can't add my .mov files on it so I need to be able to work with these files in PP.

    I'm sad now
    Good thing I have a PC with 32-bit windows!
    Now, I can only assume apple is working on a 64-bit
    fix? I suppose that info/ETA is on the itunes page,
    I'll go take a look.
    Who knows what Apple plans are? I do know that they do not discuss upcoming releases of anything until its available.

  • Getting CS3 to recognize new file types

    I'm trying to get Dreamweaver CS3 to recognize, and use the
    proper HTML editor on pages with a *.master extension. This is an
    ASP.NET 2.0 master page file, and they generally contain a ton of
    HTML.
    I can't believe that this wasn't set up by default ;)

  • Can't get Pearl to recognize .mp3 files

    Two weeks ago I loaded three 'test' albums on to my media card - worked great.
    Last week, spent too many hours trying to load more music on - nothing worked.  Used Roxio and Explorer.  Explorer can 'see' the stuff I've loaded on, but Pearl won't recognize them or play them - only the original three.
    Tried reformatting. Interestingly enough, the Pearl still 'sees' the original three albums I've posted - BUT THEY'RE NOT ACTUALLY THERE!
    Running low on patience... these are not iTunes files (no DRM issues).
    What am I doing wrong? It shouldn't be this hard to load music, seriously now!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I use my blackberry as an external usb-flash drive to transfer music, pictures and videos.
    Check this instruction:
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/rim/board/message?board.id=BlackBerryDesktopSoftware&message.id=...
    And please note, when you have "Device Storage Mode" turned on, files on micro-sd card cannot be accessed from device until you unlug usb-cable from the device. You need to unplug the cable before you can access these files on your Blackberry.
    So, please check the instruction.
    Transferring files from computer to device is easy.
    Ah, forget to say, do not use Roxio Media Manager. For God's sake
    It is not necessary and you'll save a lot of your nerves.

  • Can't get Apache to recognize new certificate

    In trying to replace an expiring certificate, I thought I followed instructions properly -
    1) entered the information for a new cert in S.A.
    2) clicked "request signed certificate from CA"
    3) emailed the resulting csr to our IT manager, who returned the cert from Equifax
    4) clicked "Add signed certificate"
    5) pasted in the cert and clicked save.
    Everything appeared to work; the new information shows correctly in the certificate pane of S.A., including the signing authority and the new effective dates (beginning yesterday). Keychain access and certificate assistant apps both show a valid cert, issued by Equifax for the server.
    When I try to log in to an SSL web page, however, I get the "Web site certified by an unknown authority" message. Examining the cert in the browser shows it to be self signed, with a serial number of 12:34:56:78. I've tried restarting Apache, rebooting the server, re-specifying the cert to use in the web site configuration, all to no avail.
    What else? Delete the site listing in S.A. and recreate it?
    G4 Mac OS X Server (10.4.7)
    G5, G4, MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Delete the site listing in S.A. and
    recreate it?
    Never mind. This did the trick.

  • I have new 2T iomega external HD (Mac Companion) - my Mac (2.8 GHz i7 - Lion OS) will not recognize HD if hooked up with Firewire, but it does recognize if hooked up via USB - how can I get it to recognize with Firewire?

    I have new 2T iomega external HD (Mac Companion) - my Mac (2.8 GHz i7 - Lion OS) will not recognize HD if hooked up with Firewire, but it does recognize if hooked up via USB - how can I get it to recognize with Firewire?

    Try a different FW800 cable and also try doing a SMC reset. If neither work try another FW800 device to see if it's recognized, if it is then  you know it's not the Mac it's probably the EHD.
    SMC RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
    Wait 15 seconds.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
    PRAM RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.

    I am running iTunes 11.0, OS X 10.8.2 on a Mac Pro. 
    Ran Disk Utility, Techtool, Disk Warrior and then reinstalled Mountain Lion, updated it and repaired permissions. No change.
    There is a file that says 'iTunes Library (damaged), which is the iTunes Database file. How can that file be re-created?
    Any technical help on replacing that file with a new, fresh one would be appreciated!

    It has always been very basic to maintain a backup of media and other important files.  If you chose to reinstall the OS without having a backup, well that just is not smart.
    If you are in the US and running iTunes 10.3 or later, iTunes purchases can be redownloaded via iCloud.  Simply log into the iTunes store, select purchases, purchase history and redownload the content.
    If you are not in the US.... well, seems you just learned and important and possibly expensive lesson.

  • How can I get RoboHelp to recognize my FrameMaker installation?

    I have Technical Suite 3.5 installed and several RoboHelp projects linked to FrameMaker books.
    The Frame books were created in FrameMaker 10. I then upgraded to Technical Suite 3.5, then later upgraded my FrameMaker to 11.
    All was well, RoboHelp continued to update from the Frame book files.
    Then last week my hard disk crashed. IT provided a new disk, installed the Technical Suite and FrameMaker 11, but now when I open the RoboHelp projects and try to update them, RoboHelp displays an error message that says "Adobe FrameMaker 10 is not installed. No FrameMaker documents can be updated."
    When I try to relink the project to FrameMaker (File | Link), I get a similar message:  "This operation cannot be completed without FrameMaker 10. Install FrameMaker 10 and try again."
    How can I get RoboHelp to recognize my FrameMaker 11 installation, which it used to do prior to the crash and reinstallation?
    Thanks.
    Jerry

    We also cannot get Robohelp to recognize our FrameMaker installation. 
    We are using Robohelp 9  and Framemaker 11.
    We are in the process of moving all of our Robohelp content to Framemaker, but our project team still needs CHM files for the next release or so.  So we figured we could move our content to Frame 11, then import the Frame content into Robohelp when we needed to generate the CHM files.
    The process works great when we use RH 10 and Frame 11, but we get the following error when we use RH 9:
    "This operation cannot be completed without FrameMaker.  Install FrameMaker and try again."
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled Frame 11 and RH 9, but am still getting the same error.  Buying a set of new Robohelp 10 licenses probably isn't an option.
    Any other suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Sue
