  • I have dreamweaver cs6, How to open .inc file in design view?

    Hello
    I changed mmdocumetsTypes.xml file, I removed .inc from code view in the preference. But still I cant open .inc in design view. Can someone help me in this matter?

    Hi,
    and this?
    http://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/kb/change-add-recognized-file-extensions.html
    esp. "Edit in Code View preference
    The final step is to check the File Types / Editors preference settings (Edit > Preferences) and make sure that this file extension is not listed in the Open In Code View field. By default, the INC file extension appears on this list. Remove ".inc" from the Open in Code View list and files with this extension should now be viewable in Design view."

  • Why, since CS6 does DW now use ABSOLUTE image paths when dragging images into Design View from a folder in Finder?!

    While I am grateful the previous issue I had with not being able to drag files into design view at all (in CC and CC2014) was resolved.
    Guys (Adobe), seriously, if you're going to change the functioning of something that used to work just fine, at least supply a way for a user to revert to the old way... I absolutely loathe that I need a legacy version of DW to continue with my current workflow. Please put it back to the way it was, or at least allow a user to chose between the two behaviours.
    If there is a way to do this, without using the Site Manager (which still doesn't work from Finder even with relative to document selected), I would appreciate any guidance.
    As for using the Site Manager (before some smart guy suggests that I just use that) I do not wish to navigate to and create up to 20 "sites" a week and wait for DW to cache them all, when I am already in the folder with the image assets in Finder.
    Also before someone pipes up and says: "You shouldn't be diving sites in design view anyway", I don't... I develop many, many newsletters every week and the folder structure is such that navigation to the actual image folder using the Site Manager would be painful at best.
    I don't really like having to and replace all instances of "file:///Users/me/Work/company/Mailers/Year/wk14/mailer/dev/img/prod5.jpg". It is horrendously wasteful, time-wise.
    Thanks in advance for any helpful replies

    Sorry Murray, DW used to have an idea, my point is that since CS6 its developed a case of Amnesia.
    The "elements" are in the "root" folder as follows:
    newslettername.htm
    img
         imagename.jpg
    So the relative path would be <img src"img/imagename.jpg" />
    However since the change: <img src"file:///Users/me/work/Company/year/week/campaign/img/imagename.jpg" />
    Which is completely useless and needs to be corrected before I upload the html anywhere.
    As for using the site directory, I did answer that in my initial post. I use a laptop, I really don't want a site manager taking half my screen just so I can see the folder structure and navigate with that, especially since I am already at the files I need in Finder.
    Again, this is something that used to work just fine in previous iterations of DW, so I don't believe Adobe is incapable of fixing it nor am I being unreasonable asking for a choice for those that may find the local absolute paths useful in some way. All I want is to be able to chose not to use absolute paths when dragging from Finder.

  • TXT Files in Design View

    I use a lot of TXT files as INCLUDE files in various pages.
    When I used Dreamweaver 4 I had no problem editing a TXT file just
    like any HTML file and using DesignView. When I get going with
    Dreamweaver MX2004 I figured out how to do it. But I had to
    reinstall DW MX2004 and cannot get it to look at a TXT file in
    anything but CodeView - or call NotePad to edit it.
    I have already removed .txt from "OPEN IN CODE VIEW". I have
    tried going to MMDocumentTypes.xml and setting the Text type to
    HTML - which is what I thought I had used before. That didn't work.
    I've tried various combination of editing the Extensions.txt file,
    too - with and without the MMDocumentTypes.xml file.
    I know there is a way to do it - but cannot find the
    way!!

    I finally figured out how to work with TXT files in Design
    View...
    1. Go into MMDocumentTypes.xml and set the Text type to HTML
    2. in PREFERENCES Remove the .TXT type from OPEN IN CODEVIEW
    3. in PREFERENCES add the EXTENSION .txt and add Dreamweaver
    as the EDITOR
    The HTML in a TXT file shows up and is editable just as in an
    HTML document

  • Can't see .cfm files in Design view

    Can't see .cfm files in Design view in Dreamweaver CC.

    Hi pkregel,
    Do these files open as intended in Dreamweaver CS6? I am not a CF expert but I am guessing that if you are able to open the files, then you should be able to see them in both the views. Can you post a screenshot as well?
    Thanks,

  • How can I view .inc files in split view on DW

    I'm trying to view my INC files in split view using DW CC 2014.1.
    I've managed this on older versions of DW by changing the extensions.txt and MMDocumentTypes.xml file.
    However, that isn't working for me now.
    Am I missing something for DW 2014.1?
    Thanks,
    Liz

    I've managed this on older versions of DW by changing the extensions.txt and MMDocumentTypes.xml file.
    Works for me.
    Are you sure that you targeted the files in the correct directory as in Dreamweaver CC 2014.1?

  • How do I get my file into the time line in Premiere Pro CC?

    How do I get my file into the time line in Premiere Pro CC? I am use to Premier Pro CS6 and unfortunately my labtop took a crash and I lost all of my adobe products. I wanted to check out a trial version and I cannot seem to find one for CS6! Please Help Me! My project is due tonight!!!!!

    Hi Aneumann,
    Welcome to the Forums.
    You have to just right click on the clip imported, in the project panel and select new sequence from clip. You can also go to file menu>new>sequence and create a sequence and then drag the clips after importing them , into the timeline.

  • Set default import format when drag and drop sound file into multitrack view?

    I've looked around the preference panels but cannot find where to set the import settings for dragging and dropping sound files into multitrack view. Some of our computers have correct settings and others do not. Thanks for your help!
    G

    I should have been more specific, sorry... I mean bit depth and bit rate... On some machines this defaults correctly and on other machines it is wrong. Not sure how to set these to downconvert properly by default. Unless it automatically takes the format of the source file, in which case it's just been luck.
    Thanks,

  • Getting DW to show files in Design View

    We have a set of HTML based templates that we use that all have the extension .vm
    These files are used in an internal system, that allows us to swap out information when they are accessed.
    When I open the files in dreamweaver it gray's out the split and design view buttons.
    If i change the extension to .htm, the buttons are accessable.
    There are a ton of these template files, is there anyway to get DW to always turn on the split and design buttons, so i do not have to change the extension of the files each time I need to access them?
    I have already added them to the list of extensions in the preferences tab, but this only allows DW to open the files, and does not seem to enable the split and design buttons
    Thanks,

    ok .. so I opened the extensions.txt file .. added the line
    VM: VM Files
    removed .vm from the 'open in code view' list under preferences
    restarted DW, and The buttons are still grayed out.
    I have also tried adding VM to the first line of the extensions.txt file designating it as an HTML file. Still nothing.
    Any Ideas?
    Thanks,
    ***EDIT***
    I was finally able to get it to work using that url you provided.
    I have to say .. this is most un-user friendly way to go about this I have ever seen.
    thanks though for your reply

  • How do you get copied files into a folder of our choice?

    OK so this may sound like a very basic question, but it has been driving me nuts ever since I bought an Apple Mac some 3 years ago and I find it hard to believe there isnt a solution.
    Objective: to copy or import files into a folder previously created by me within Apples 'Pictures' folder. E.g. "Holiday 2012".
    Problem: on every program I have used, inc iPhoto, iMovie, and just now, Preview, when I get ready to copy or import say my photo files from my iphone, or an SD card or a network drive, it never gives me the option to navigate to my folder! How mad is this?! Instead I get teh choice of just Apples plain old Documents or Pictures folders but NEVER get given any opportunity via the dialog box to navigate to my "Holiday 2012" folder. There just is not any obvious way to do it. So instead I get my hundreds of pictures listed directly under Pictures folder, to therefore added to all the other hundreds of pictures listed there. A terrible way to kep pictures.
    What I need: someone to tell me how to do this or if its not possible then to tell me that. It is a basic operation that I have been able to do on Windows PC's since they were built. Wht not on Mac? Maybe the solution is right in front of me... if it is then its not intuitive, thats all I can say!
    Can you help please?

    Hi. Ok.
    I have just tried the process again in Preview and in desperation this time clicked on 'Other' in the dialogue box when trying to Import. Low and behold I found the way to navigate to my own folders instead of being forced to use Apples standard Folders called Documents and Pictures.
    So problem solved.
    Its daft that you cant click on the first folder names listed like you can in Windows so you can then reveal the  subfolders. I guess its just another Apple-ism. Too bad it took me three years to find it but then I suppose I gave up early.

  • Unable to view php files in Design View?

    Need help! I cannot select design view when working with a PHP document, the DesignView option is disabled?
    My information.
    -          Dreamweaver CS5
    -          Mac OSX 10.6 snow Lepoard
    I have searched online and I also went through the FAQ but couldn’t find anything relating to this particular issue and my Professor at school said that I need to contact Adobe directly as design view should always be available but all that I would see in Design View are the HTML elements within the PHP file.
    The Design View button is disabled, I can not click on it all and so for my class assignments. I have to copy the PHP code into a new HTML document and only then am I able to view the html/php and edit the HTML elements, and then copy and paste it back into the PHP file once I have the html elements/design set up correctly.
    I did a similar “Set up PHP for Mac OS X – MAMP” to the version available here, could I have set this up incorrectly and that is why Design View is disabled?
    Thanks I appreciate your guys expertise and any help!

    Go to Dreamweaver > Preferences, and select File Types / Editors from the Category list on the left. Make sure that .php is NOT listed among the filename extensions in "Open in code view".
    Adding a filename extension to that list prevents files from being opened in Design view.

  • How  to show  php 'include' file in Design View?

    Is it possible (in design view MX04) to show a php include
    file?
    It shows if it's <?php include('myPage.inc'); ?>
    but if its got the .php ext, <?php include('myPage.php');
    ?>
    its doesnt show.
    Any way of making it show?
    Cheers.
    Os.

    > Is it possible (in design view MX04) to show a php
    include file?
    Yes.
    Does the include file *also* contain PHP code?

  • Cant Drag Music files into iTunes

    Hi there,
    I have been using iTunes for ages with out any problems but from yesterday I have found that I cant drag music files from a folder (My Music etc)into iTunes library or straight to my iPod.
    I can still use the "add file or folder" to library commands which work fine but I just cant drag files into iTunes like I used to. When I try I just get the circle with a line through it. The music files I am trying to drag are in the right format and I have even tried some files with are already on my iPod.
    Also I use winamp as my default player. When I double click on any music files in a folder winamp will open but does not play the file. I can still select "play file" from winamp and browse for the track I want to play. That works fine.
    So the same kind of thing is happening for both iTunes and winamp. I have searched for answers but still cant fix it. I have uninstalled and installed both iTunes and winamp. I remember having a problem like this before a long time ago but cant remember how to fix it.
    Its driving me insane!

    Are you just looking through the main library?
    My videos never show up under the main library anymore.
    They just show up under the movie or tv show headers.

Maybe you are looking for
