Dreamweaver CC and LESS

I have been an avid Dreamweaver user for a few revisions now. I seldom use the design view as its generally quicker for me to code by hand than to drag and drop and then reconstruct the generated code in to something propper. I've used WinLESS to compile my LESS to CSS and a plugin for DW|CS6 to highlight the LESS syntax. At work however I cannot use WinLESS to compile as it isn't allowed on our networks without a giantic mess of paperwork to get it approved (civilian contractor). As a result I've been stuck using Vistual Studio 2012 with a plug in called Web Essentials. Web Essential allows for automtice compiling of LESS to CSS as well as a minified version upon save, Full LESS syntax highlighting, code completetion, and even the vendor fixes. It also does this for an handful of other pre-processors and the like (SASS, COFFESCRIPT, ETC).
Does Dreamweaver CC have LESS built in or is there a fully inclusive plugin that will do the job, like the Web Essentials plugin does in VS2012?

Dreamweaver CS6 and SASS

Hi guys,
when I try nesting sass css, dreamweaver doesn't make it easy to use. If you look at the screenshot you will see how DW handles nesting in .scss
I think it's time to implement Sass and Less ...
Best regards,
Steven

Dreamweaver 8 and keystroke issues

I recently installed Dreamweaver 8 along side of Dreamweaver
MX. After the install was complete I tried to use Dreamweaver 8 and
found that certain (letter) keys were not reconginzed when I typed
them in the design window. I then tried typing in the code window
and they would not work there either.
Any suggestions?

What OS?

How can I import a non-BC site into BC, using Dreamweaver CC, and then use it as one of my free sites?

I am trying to import one of my non-BC sites into BC, using Dreamweaver CC, and then use it as one of my free WebBasics sites.
When I try to create a new BC site in Dreamweaver CC, it creates a BC template site, and I have unsuccessfully tried to update the files on BC - it won't let me connect.
If I import the site from my portal, I don't get the option of a free site - when I try to upgrade, I get the credit card form asking for payment.
I feel like I'm running around in circles with one foot nailed to the floor.
Any tips?

Thank you for your quick reply and for clearing up my confusion. I'm exporting the first section now. I choose the smallest size, 3x4 but I'd prefer to go higher as this DVD was originally a VHS home movie. I'm wondering if after three conversions (VHS,->DVD->MPEG) the resolution will be so poor as to not support a larger size frame? If it can, what size should I select when I export?

Need details on how to move existing website to Dreamweaver CS6 and to Business Catalyst web hosting

Hi All,
     I need assistance with transferring an existing website - imagessays.com - (designed with Dreamweaver CS4) to my Creative Cloud CS6 account - and to web hosting by CS6 Business Catalyst.
   … step-by-step instructions would be most useful. I've got the Dreamweaver CS6 onDemand book, etc., ... I guess I’m just not enough of a geek to work my way through the steps and to get my site back moving ahead online.
    Beyond that, need advice as to how to repair a couple of non-funcitonal links on the site (check out imagessays.com to see a couple of pics that don't work). I'm looking forward to uploading more content and to do major upgrade to the site, but am unable to do so ... need technical support re how to do these simple (should be) things.
    Since setting up the website over 5 years ago, I have migrated from Dreamweaver CS3 to CS4 .... and now to CS6 ... and from a Dell XPS 450 running Windows XP to a Mac Pro desktop running Mac OS X.
These changes of version / machine / OS have separated me from the ability to do the one simple thing that I need to do with this straightforward website, that is: upload new pitchers and writins .
I look forward to assistance and support for this.
Thanks,
Jim

Dreamweaver CC and Windows 8.1 - Can't Find A Valid Editor For This File Extension

Was running the latest version with no issues and then I loaded Office 2013 .. Now when I am in the remote site and try to double click on a .cfm file, I get a dialog box..Can't Find A Valid Editor For This File Extension..
I tried the support chat and they said Dreamweaver support was not available, try again later???
So I thought I would reinstall the CC version and now I can see the Dreamweaver icon next to the files but still ... can't open the file..
Any assistance would be appreciated?
Leo

The issue is only in Windows 8.x where when Dreamweaver CC is installed, it is not able to turn on the file type associations by default. The workaround for now is to manually add the extensions both within Windows and then within Dreamweaver CC itself.
Go to Control Panel > Programs > Default Programs > Set Your Default Programs and select Dreamweaver CC and then select 'Choose defaults for this program' and Select All or the extensions you want to open in Dreamweaver CC
Start Dreamweaver CC and go to Edit > Preferences > File Types/Editors and add '.cfm .cfc' to the extensions and then add C:\Program Files (x86)\Dreamweaver CC\Dreamweaver.exe then click on Apply and Close
That should be it.

After adding a flashfile .swf into a dreamweaver page and trying to run it, I get an error message related to Javascript

after adding a flashfile .swf into a dreamweaver page and trying to run it, I get an error message related to Javascript
I have no trouble viewing other websites with (most likely), flashfiles.
Here is the the PopUp message:
"Adobe-warning Adobe Flash PLayer has stopped a potentrially unsafe operation......"

In newer versions of Flash Pro, you can export to HTML5 Canvas, that's probably what they're talking about: Flash Professional Help | Creating and publishing an HTML5 Canvas document
.FLV and .SWF are Flash formats that won't show up on iOS (or an ever increasing number of other mobile devices). Mobile Flash was killed by Adobe a couple years ago, so the number of mobile devices that can see it is dwindling rapidly, don't use those formats if you want your viewers on mobile devices to see your content.

How does one add a photo gallery to my web site in Dreamweaver CS5 and have the link recognized as a destination file?

How does on add a photo gallery to a web site in Dreamweaver CS5 and have the file folder which contains the photos, recognized as the "go to location" for the link up?

Ok. So Photos1.htm is the main gallery page.
And it looks like you have sub-folders with images in them like these from 2011 and 2010
LLA Picnic 2011/
photos 2010/
Have you defined a site in DW yet? That's a critical first step in getting DW to recognize your site's links and other assets. See video below:

After the latest Security Update 2012-001 (Mac OS X 10.6.8) my Adobe Photoshop CS 8, Dreamweaver 8, and InDesign CS programs crash when I try to save a file.

After the latest Security Update 2012-001 (Mac OS X 10.6.8) my Adobe Photoshop CS 8, Dreamweaver 8, and InDesign CS programs crash when I try to save a file. HELP!!!

Howdy,
Apparently some are reporting that this causes the older PowerPC (PPC) applications that are supported in 10.6 via 'Rosetta' to crash upon attempting to open/save/print using any dialog box, or fail in other similar ways such as simply not printing or quitting, or freezing/hanging/crashing of the application.
I have read of some companies that have indeed submitted proper bug reports to Apple, but that is not a guarantee of a bug-fix being issued.
You might wish to read:
http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/snowleopard/index.html#d02feb2012
If you are unsure if you are still using PowerPC apps, if the application is currently running, look under the 'Activity Monitior' (in Applications -> Utilities), or alternatively you could check in the System Profiler, Applications. Check the column "Type".
Here is a fairly simple way you can restore you system and restore you applications functionality again, if you don't have a recent clone or good Time Machine backup that you can restore from. If you do, restore from your backup prior to having installed the Security Update 2012-001.
Time Machine restore: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1427
If you are restoring a backup made by a Mac to the same Mac
With your backup drive connected, start up your Mac from the Lion recovery partition (Command-R at startup) or Mac OS X v10.6 installation disc. Then use the "Restore From Time Machine Backup" utility. Select the backup prior to your issues, and it will be restored back to the state it was in at that time.
If you can't easily restore from a backup, you can instead do the following:
- You first start by reinstalling your OS X 10.6.x, this will preserve all your user data, your applications, no worries there.
- Then install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 (links provided below)
- Make sure you're printers are showing up correctly in your system preferences, if not, re-add the printers
- Then finally, run the Apple Software Update (by pulling down the Apple Menu), and install any and all remaining updates, except do not then re-install the Security Update 2012-001. It is possible that you may have to reboot after installing some of the updates, and you may even need to run it a 2nd time to make sure that you've got all updates, except NOT the Security Update 2012-001.
Links for 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
or the link to directly download this 1.09GB combo updater:

Dreamweaver CS3 and Mac OS 10.4.11 Incompatability

I have been using Dreamweaver CS3 under OS 10.4.10 for a few
months without significant issues... but after upgrading to 10.4.11
there is a significant problem.
I am unable to access any of my remote servers to upload
files to the sites I have built.
I was able to reinstall Dreamweaver 8 and it works fine with
all the same setups
I've read a technote on a noted problem with Dreamweaver CS3
and Mac OS 10.5 - but it also appears to happen on 10.4.11
You can read the 10.5 technote here:
http://www.adobe.com/go/kb402780

I have not experienced this problem. Try removing the DW CS3
preferences file in your Library and then let DW build a new one.
BTW, what error you are getting when you try to FTP?

Ah, now i see that the folder has an icon on it - like a "settings" icon - sort of a wheel

Placing an Image in Dreamweaver CS6 and Mavericks

To place an image in a web page, I have always been able to drag the file (say jpeg) from the Macintosh Finder and drop it into the web page. I'm using Dreamweaver CS6 and it worked fine with Lion, but stopped working with Mavericks. Can anyone tell me how to turn this capability back on?

No image is placed. Nothing blows up. And I can't find a preference setting to turn this on. It's a mystery to me why this is happening.
I write software for the Mac (WildTools) so I'm pretty good at debugging things, but this has be stumped.

FTP Broken in Dreamweaver CS6 and CC

I have been unable to ftp into 1 of 3 websites that I maintain ever since upgrading to Dreamweaver CS6 (and now CC). The problem appears to be that the site's root directory name as reported by a PWD command is shorter than the name required to be issued by the CWD command after logging into the FTP server. CS5.5 logs into the website's FTP server without any trouble and the script looks like this:
< 220 Service Ready for new User
> USER .myusername
< 331 Password Needed for Login
> PASS
< 230 User HUBING Logged in Successfully
> PWD
< 257 "/EH05/users/hubing" is Current Directory
> PWD
< 257 "/EH05/users/hubing" is Current Directory
> CWD //gs16/gs16/share/web/cvel
< 250 Directory successfully changed to "/gs16/SHARE/web/cvel"
> PWD
< 257 "/gs16/SHARE/web/cvel" is Current Directory
> CWD /gs16/SHARE/web/cvel
< 250 Directory successfully changed to "/gs16/SHARE/web/cvel"
> PASV
< 227 Entering Passive Mode (130,127,239,114,143,84)
> TYPE A
< 200 TYPE Command OK A
> LIST
Dreamweaver CS6 and Dreamweaver CC start out correctly, then suddenly issue a QUIT command:
< 220 Service Ready for new User
> USER myusername
< 331 Password Needed for Login
> PASS
< 230 User HUBING Logged in Successfully
> PWD
< 257 "/EH05/users/hubing" is Current Directory
> CWD /EH05/users/hubing
< 250 Directory successfully changed to "/EH05/users/hubing"
> CWD //gs16/gs16/share/web/cvel
< 250 Directory successfully changed to "/gs16/SHARE/web/cvel"
> PWD
< 257 "/gs16/SHARE/web/cvel" is Current Directory
> QUIT
< 221 Closing Session
Any suggestions?

Bhawna,
Yes. I can establish a connection without defining the site root folder. The directory that I login to by default is /EH05/users/hubing. One of the other sites that I maintain is in a subdirectory of that folder and Dreamweaver CC connects to that site without any problem. It just isn't able to switch to //gs16/gs16/share/web/cvel. Dreamweaver CS5.5 and WSFTP don't seem to have any problem with this.
Unfortunately, I can't send you the .ste file, because the password can't be shared. I appreciate your help though!
