Dreamweaver cs3 - files panel

dreamweaver cs3 files panel I can only see manage sites
How do I go back to the defaut view

What you see IS the default view. The "manage sites" link opens the site manager, as does Sites>Manage Sites from the menu bar.
You can always go to Window>Workspace Layout>Resetxxx and reset your workspace. But the Files panel will be the same because it is set to the default ciew.

Dreamweaver CS3, file window (panel group) came unattached?

This may be a minor problem, but it's very annoying to me
since I'm accustomed to using a particular layout. Anyway, after
rebooting my computer and starting Dreamweaver, i noticed my files
window (panel group) was not on the screen, whereas it's usually on
the right-hand side and attached beside the code/design view. So I
went up to the the Window menu and put a check by "Files" and it
opened my file window up, but it's not attached like it was before!
instead it just floats over my code/design view, and I don't like
that.
I've looked and looked some more but I can't figure out how
to re-attach it. Can someone here help me? Any assistance is
greatly appreciated!
edited to add - i've tried simply dragging and "redocking"
the panel as shown in the help, but it won't redock or stick
anywhere.

Apologies, I figured out how to fix it. I'm not sure why it
happened to begin with, but anyway... problem solved for now. I was
able to redock it after getting rid of the css panel and just
having the files panel open, unexpanded, then moving it until I saw
the black outline.

Dreamweaver CS3 - Database Panel Problem

I set up a site in Dreamweaver CS3 trial - my ColdFusion data
driven pages display OK in browser preview but I when I try to
display my datasources in the Database panel I get error "server
name or address cannot be resolved" even though the server name is
correct and working. The site's testing server is set up properly
(they run in the browser) and coldfusion is running properly.
I removed the connection scripts but that was no help. I'm
using the miserable SQLServer 2005Express (I tried checking
security permissions in WinXP - my file system is NTFS so there
*should* be a "Security" tab present in properties for me the
change permissions but it's not there...
i've run out of ideas - does anyone have any suggestions that
I can try?
thanks!

I can't help you with the central issue, but permissions in
XP are
controlled by a setting in folder options.
start, control panel, folder options, view. Near the bottom
of the list
is an option that by default is checked - "Use simple file
checking".
Try unchecking it, and you should be able to access the full
security
tab for files.

Dreamweaver CS3 - File Management/Put File at a later time

I am using Dreamweaver CS3 and I have an internal website for my office. I have a link that takes my users to a development site for the time being. On Sunday, I wish to have that link take them to a production site that will be used rather than the practice/developmental site. What I wish to do is to make the change on my local machine and have it set on some sort of timer so that once it reaches Sunday morning at 6:00 a.m. for example, Dreamweaver will put up that page to my server without me having to come to work just to put that page up live. Is there a way I can do that?

How to alphabetize file names in Dreamweaver CS4 files panel?

Using Dreamweaver CS4, the files in the file panel are no longer alphabetized by name as they have been in all previous versions. This is very frustrating when you have many files and have to scan with your eyes to find various files on an ongoing basis.
Does anyone know WHY the developers changed this or where I can change the preferences for this?
Thanks in advanceof your help : )

I feel silly . I found the answer to my problem in another thread. Clicking the 'Local Files' heading at the top of the files column changes the order. As posted by a user named Alex in another thread, with an image to illustrate where to click:
Click on the column header highlighted in light blue.

Corrupt Dreamweaver CS3 files

I've been working on a websites, my second one, for over a
month now and I've really enjoyed getting to know Dreamweaver CS3.
Unfortunately, the inevitable happened last night.
I returned to my computer (Macbook Pro OSX 10.4.11) and
opened my html and CSS files and both were corrupt. All the code
was gone and some sort of jibberish was in it's place. This is the
second time this has happened and I have not installed any
extensions.
There was no error message when I opened the file and I can
only guess what the problem might be. I recently moved the files
from my local folder to my desktop because I wasn't ready to
publish yet. Dreamweaver, or my Mac, was also having trouble
recognizing Jpeg files.
I'm pretty disappointed but really don't know what to do.
I've considered two resolutions, neither of which is very
appealing. First, I could reinstall Dreamweaver and make sure all
files are placed properly in the root folder, or second, I could
reinstall the entire OS and all CS3 apps.
I know recovering the files is not likely, and I have earlier
versions saved, but more importantly, I want to make sure
Dreamweaver works properly in the future so I can avoid having to
redo weeks of work. If anyone has advice or has experienced
something similar, I would sincerely appreciate your input.
Many thanks.
Doug

Thanks much for the reply.
This isn't a live site so no FTP or remote server was
involved. I wonder if moving the files to my desktop caused the
problem? All files for the site were originally set up in the
shared folder for publishing from the mac but they were always
local. I moved them to the desktop to rebuild and test a rollover
nav issue which I was able to resolve (a big step forward)
But now, all files are corrupt.
I'm seriously considering reinstalling the entire OS and
apps. Backing up all my design files and the resources saved to
bridge would be a pain, for sure, but the main goal is to have a
stable environment for development moving forward as I'll be taking
courses to incorporate mySQL and PHP this fall.
This did happen one other time, so maybe it's an installation
issue. I wish I could provide more info but I'm stumped.
Disappointing...

Dreamweaver CS3 - components panel not working?

When I try to view the components panel I go through all the signing in for RDS and receive the following error: I have seen this error posted last year but no one responded to the poster? Is there a solution?
Thanks
Susan G.
The packages and the CFCs within them cannot be listed. There are several reasons that this may occur.
1. The URL prefix (specified when you set up this Dreamweaver site) might be ill formed. Please check the URL prefix by using Define Sites on the Site menu.
2. The URL prefix might correspond to a website where CF MX is not running
3. The URL prefix might correspond to a website to a website that has no CF component. Press the plus button on this panel to create a CF component.

I was having the same problem in Dreamweaver CS4/10. I found this article and low and behold it worked!
http://forums.forta.com/messages.cfm?threadid=34621DAF-3048-80A9-EF22911CE2D2E463#9
I had "Separate user name and password authentication (allows multiple users) " enabled in the CF administrator under "Security-Administrator" and "Security-RDS".
After I disabled it/set it to "Use a single password only (default)" for both, I could see all my CFC's.
Good luck!

Uninstall downloaded version of Dreamweaver CS3

I purchased Dreamweaver CS4, downloaded and installed it. Now
I'd like to get rid of the Dreamweaver CS3 files. Trying to
uninstall via Windows control panel does not work since it requires
the original installation disks. I'd like to recover the 209 MB on
my disk. What should I do? Just delete the files in the Program
file directory? I am worried I'd delete some shared
components.

That's really odd that it requires the disk to uninstall.
There is a CS3 clean tool, and it wipes all instances of the Adobe
software clean. I'm not sure if it will affect your CS4
installation. To be on the safe side, deactivate CS4 before
proceeding in case it affects CS4 and needs to be reinstalled.

FILES Panel is Empty

The local files of all defined sites disappeared from the Dreamweaver CS5 FILES panel on PC win7 version. All the remote files are visible. All the local files are visible in Windows Explorer window. Downloading the site from the host returns the file names to the FILES panel. A large task for all sites that are defined.
I tried without fixing the issue:
Refreshing the site in FILES panel
Creating a new site
Simultaneously deleting
registry sites
(HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Common\11\Sites)
registry preferences
(HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS5)
preferences folder
(C:\Documents and Settings\User\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS5)
The problem remains. What is causing this issue?

PaulJoel,
Did you try the solution I pointed you to? You need to "show hidden folders" in your file manager/Windows Explorer to see the personal configuration folder. Once deleted, DW will create a new one when you launch it.
You may also need to re-define your Local Site Folder and delete the old site definition.

Renaming images in File Panel? (DW-CS4)

I'm looking to rename some images in the Dreamweaver CS4 file panel (on MAC OSX if this matters?) but I am running into some problems with image links not updating. The images are in subfolders ie. "images" / "products" / "image-name.jpg" (again not sure if this matters). I am able to rename the image fine it's just the link on the html page itself that does not get updated.
What am i missing here?

Thanks pziecina for clarifying... very grateful.
This leads me to another question that you may or may not be able to help with as this does not have anything to do with Dreamweaver.
It's regarding proper "naming conventions" for the web...
The only reason i am in need of changing my image names is that I recently heard that it is bad practice to begin a file name with a # / ie: "01-101.jpg". Do you know if this is indeed bad practice and why? Most / all my images are names based on product SKU numbers and they seem to work fine. If there is no good reason / it would save me allot of work to avoid changing these.
Much thanks!http://forums.adobe.com/people/pziecina

Dreamweaver CS3 Remote View file display

Specs:
Dreamweaver CS3 on Windows XP Pro SP2.
Upgraded from DreamWeaver MX
1680 x 1050 60Hz resolution on vertical display LCD panel
with the monitor turned/displayed verticle so I can view more of
our site tree.
Problem:
When viewing files in split panel display (Remote Site on the
left, Local Files on the right) my Remote Site display will
collapse upward...hiding files from view, but they are actually
still there: I can click Refresh and the tree expands again: After
several seconds or sometimes immediately portions of the
folders/files will collapse/hide again.
It will do this to files I have selected. It will hide files
I have checked out. The worst of it is that sometimes files will
hide or collapse within sub-folders..giving the appearance that
files are stored in incorrect folders.
Thank you for your time

Can you explain the symptoms in more detail? Mixing the use
of DW8 with
DWCS3 would not make remote files appear and disappear.

Dreamweaver CS3 - Not Updating Files

I have this problem since upgrading from Dreamweaver MX2004
to CS3. I edit files on my local machine. I then tell Dreamweaver
to syncronize files and put newer to remove (which it does). But
when I check the remote nothing has been updated. Lately I have
been getting the message about files being newer on the remote when
they are not. I tried the fix of unchecking synchronization info
and then re-checking, but it still does not update anything. I
noticed that I modified a file at 11.01am, and uploaded it. It
didn't update but the remote file is showing as being modified same
date but 6.15pm.
Is there something I'm doing wrong? I have been using
Dreamweaver for about 6 years with no problems.
Many thanks
Alan.

Give me the code from a link that is not managed by DW,
please.

Help! Sometimes Dreamweaver CS3 can't see my .css file

Once a day or so dreamweaver cs3 can't see my .css file. So
all my files that I am working with turn to poop. To fix I have to
close each file and re-open. Then my .css returns and all my files
are how they should be. Anyone else ever have this problem?

That I do not know - I've never looked. From the styles
panel, I do know that it does not completely disapear - it shows
the .css - just all the rules are missing. I will look next time.
Usually only happens when multiple files are open. Thanks

How do I download and saves html files off my website to store and save using Dreamweaver CS3?

How do I download and saves html files off my website to store and save using Dreamweaver CS3?
I need to save all files from web and store onto a drive to reupload to a new domain name. I use Dreamweaver CS3.

First define your Local Site folder in Dreamweaver. DW will use this folder to store your site files.
Go to Manage Sites > New or Edit site. See screenshots.
Servers: Enter your remote server's log-in details. When complete, hit TEST to see if the connection is working. If all is well, hit SAVE.
From the Files Panel (F8), click on Remote Server to show the files that are currently there. Click the green Down Arrow to GET files from remote server to your local site folder.

Dreamweaver on start up has defined my desktop as a root folder in the files panel.

Dont know if anyone else has this same issue. I noticed recently that when I start Dreamweaver my Desktop along with all my drives is already defined in my files panel. I am running Windows Vista Home Premuim, and Dreamweaver CS3. Here is a screenshot.
I researched this to find no info except that the service pack 2 maybe the issue. Can anyone help with this?

Have you defined any sites at all?
The screenshot looks like a default installation of DW before any sites have been defined.
Click on Manage Sites (text link in Files Panel), define a site and DW will show you the site files.
