Dotted lines for tab indents in Code View

Does anyone know how to whip DW's code view into the current century? I Specifically showing tabs in code view. Other IDE's have a great way of showing tab indenting with subtle lines. DW's approach is heavey handed and garish. IMO it's unusable in it's current form. See comparison below.
Is there a plugin, xml hack, or hidden preference that would allow me to achieve something similar?

Try opening one of those pages in DW and then go to Commands > Apply Source Formatting and see if that cleans them out.
I've heard of a bug where adding html comments can cause added blank lines in certain versions, I've never seen it myself though.

Smartform : Require a dotted line for a window

Hi,
Can you please provide a way to have a dotted line for a window in Smart forms.
I have used the Template options Dashed Lines (of the Tab Grid), but not successful.
Regards,
Karuna Reddy

Hi Karuna,
I dont think it is possible to draw a dotted line dynamically for a window. Whereas you can do one thing, in a text element draw underscore's(_) or dots(.) but this should be the last to be displayed in the window. Make sure the window width is for the full width of the page or else you wont get the dotted line for the full width of the page.
Reward if helpful.

Edits in Design View effect Indenting in Code View

I am not sure why, and if there is a resolution, to making
edits in Design View which change indents to my code in the Code
View?
If I indent my code for easier reading in the Code View and
make a change in the Design view, the indenting is changed when I
go back to the Code view.
Any solutions or work-arounds anyone might know of?
Many thanks in advance.

Martin,

First, go to Edit > Preferences > Code Format and make
sure that your
indent settings match how you want tags to be indented in the
general case.
If you have any particular tags that you want to change the
formatting
for, then go to Edit > Tag Libraries..., choose the type
(e.g. HTML) and
then the tag.

Is there an tool for automatic re-indent source code ?

Hi
Where could i found an Tool for automatically indenting source code ?
Regards
Philippe

Jdev can do this as well. Select the class you want to re-indent in application navigator, and select Reformat (or use shortcut Ctrl-Alt-L). Your code is re-indented and formated according to code-style defined in preferences.

Can I create dotted lines in smartforms

Dear All,
I want to create dotted lines for tables in msartforms.
Is it possible.?
Thanks,
Aneel

Hi aneel,
i don't think dotted lines are possible in smartforms.you can use text box draw underscore's(_) or dots(.) but this should be the last to be displayed in adjustable form or another way is using syuline ,dots and syvline in your code in the table...
hope this solves ur query.

Scanning a line for a pattern ( cat ${0} | while read line )

I am busy to create a dynamicaly menu from items inside the script itself.
I will create some self reading/scanning code what builds the menu.
When script get executed, it will look for itself on disk put it in a catalog and scan every line with an 'if' 'elfi' for '[ $choice -eq X ]; then'.
Then next non empty line for '# title - description of code' part behind that if or elfi line, put that and the choice no. in $menuItemN var what is used to print the menu.
with
# start self scanning code
cat ${0} | while read line
# end self scanning code
# create menu
# the the chosen code between if's
if [ $choice -eq 1 ] ; then
# title - Drink coffee
elfi [ $choice -eq 2 ] ; then
# title - Eat pizza
This line of code
if [[ "$line" = ?(el)if*([[:space:]])*$choice*([[:space:]])-eq* ]] ; then
reads the if's and elfi's fine, but also f.e the line itself.
So I want to narrow down things, but I cant figure out how to use [ in a pattern.
What do I have to put at the XXXXX
if [[ "$line" = ?(el)if*([[:space:]])XXXX*$choice*([[:space:]])-eq* ]] ; then
so that that line is only accepting ( one left square bracket and different number of spaces )
if [ $choice -eq 1 ] ; then
or
elif [ $choice -eq 4 ] ; then
Basically how do I use the left and right bracket in a pattern?

After a good diner, but not helping with the dishes , this is for now my final.
I did create it in a way that I only need to add code in the runLoop function. I don't need to alter var's, code or any thing else outside the runLoop. And it works fine.

## YES, it should use $choice as a variable!!
## With in the next line the title, supplied in the following pattern

## No need to put extra code in your code to have this running
## -------- insert your code here --------------------------------------------
if [[ $choice -eq 1 ]] ; then
# title - Drink coffee

# title - Go to bed
echo "44 Go sleep!"
## -------- insert your code in front of this line ----------------------------
fi ## keep this as last
# Start point
start
exit 0
Still one question.
Is there a kind of way to walk through an array and get directly the existing variables with a index number?
Now I use
for index in {0..99}
do
if [[ -n "${menuArray[$index]}" ]]; then
if [[ "$index" == "$exitChoice" ]]; then
printf "
fi
printf " %3s. %s
" "$index" "${menuArray[$index]}"
fi
done
I don't want a loop ( {0..99} ) and a known last index number ( 99 )
Is there a way to find out the width om the current shell window?
Also other hints, remarks are welcome.
P.s if someone want to see the 'debug echo output', find&replace '#echo -' with 'echo -' and the other way arround

Working in code view selects whole blocks of text when a page is opened for the first time

This is really annoying feature of dreamweaver, I assume it serves a purpose but I do not know what it is. If I open a document (I generally always work in code view) then select the area I wish to, say, copy and then press control and c, the whole block of code becomes selected (so my selection expands). That isn't what I selected so why does it do this? If I click outside the code view - on to css styles for example - then I can now select the lines of code I want and can work with the code as intended. If I save the document, tab to another document in dreamweaver and tab back again, the same happens. So, everytime I open a document I have to click CSS styles before I can work with the document as intended. I've been working with this for a while and it's go to the point where it makes me cry. It's not quite as annoying as working with the old ftp service but it's not far off.

DW CS6: Extra empty blank line in code view causing trouble!

Hi all,
I searched for hours for a solution to the following problem, without any success.
When coding in Dreamweaver CS6 (Version 12.0, Windows 8.1), an extra non-editable blank line is automatically added at the bottom of the document (in code-view). This is a nice feature, since it clearly separates the end of the document from the rest of the DW user interface. BUT:
WHEN you have "Word Wrap" disabled (i.e. horizontal scroll bars appear if one or more lines are longer than the current view),
AND no line is actually longer than the view (i.e. NO horizontal scroll bars),
AND you click somewhere into the document while the vertical scroll bar is at the very bottom,
THEN the code view jumps one line upwards causing a selection of 2 lines.
This might not seem to be a big issue at first glance, but surprisingly often all of the mentioned conditions are met.
Is there any possibilty to somehow get rid of this problem?
Note: The problem does not occur when any of the above conditions is false.
Cheers!
CamelCase

This is strange...
Yes, I just updated DW to 12.03 a minute before I posted the question. ;-)
Are you sure you cannot reproduce it? Is there a blank line at the bottom of your editor as well?
Here are the conditions again:
Word Wrap is disabled.
No line too long for vertical scrollbar to appear.
Scroll fully down in the code view.
Click somewhere into the document.
Effect: The view jumps exactly one line upwards (such that the mentioned blank line just disappears), and instead of a blinking cursor, two lines are selected.
Here is a screenshot before/after the click:
I appreciate any help. Really, thank you!!

Acrobat X: Option to hide the dotted line in between pages when viewing in 2 page view?

Acrobat X: Anyone know if there is an option to hide the dotted line in between pages when viewing in 2 page view? So that the 2 pages can look seemlessly joined, with no gap and no dotted line? This would be useful when viewing PDF magazines or books in which 2 pages join for a larger picture.

Create a Page 0 item which will be available on all pages.OMG yes I can use items in page 0 ! I should have think of that :/ Shame on me.
Application item values can be set from JavaScript using AJAX and an On-Demand Process.Yes I already tried ajax with ODP, my getappitem() function works but my setappitem() function won't assign value to application item, but it's not a problem now, I removed the ajax part and I will use page items :D
Thank you fac586.

Thousands of blank lines in code view? Where did they come from?

I have an older DW site, that for some reason when I open certain pages in code view show literally thousands of blank lines. So line 1, code, line 2-15 are blank, then what used to be line 2 of the code, is now line 16. All the way down the line. This one page literally has THOUSANDS of blank lines in it:
Aurora Prom Corsages, Boutonnieres, Flowers, School Dance Flowers-Yorkville, Osego Illinois
page renders, edits and looks fine in DW, browsers, etc.
My client edits it with Contribute. I use DW.
There are certain pages he opens regularly, never saw the lines, other pages, just opens once a year, lines all over again.
We can't find any rhyme or reason to it.
Has anyone ever seen this?

Try opening one of those pages in DW and then go to Commands > Apply Source Formatting and see if that cleans them out.
I've heard of a bug where adding html comments can cause added blank lines in certain versions, I've never seen it myself though.

Code view line height

I am on Mac OS X Yosemite using DW CC 2014. Code view is set to Source Code Pro. The problem is that line height in code view is smaller than the font height -- or something like that.
This screenshot demonstrates what I mean. Look at these characters: {,},y,g and see how they are cut off at the bottom. I've tried to fix this by changing fonts but most other fonts show the same problem. Changing font size in DW preferences also does not fix it. I tried changing the Source Code Pro set altogether using Suitcase Fusion. That did not help either. When I try to use Source Code Pro in other apps it works fine. So this seems to be a DW-specific problem.
Any ideas?

Hello Almir,
The issue is due to missing fonts: Tahoma and Verdana. We have a bug logged for the issue and will looked into.
Kindly follow the below workaround till the issue is fixed.
1. Launch Font Book from /Applications/
2. If Tahoma and Verdana fonts are disabled, enable the fonts
Or if the fonts are missing, install the fonts.
3. Launch Dreamweaver
Let me know if the workaround is able to fix the issue for you.
Regards.
