Dreamweaver CS3 (Mac) and Menu Master

Since my work with Dreamweaver involves the very frequent
repetition of certain sequences of steps, I have greatly speeded up
my workflow by recording and storing a number of special commands
accessible via tthe Commands menu. Unfortunately Dreamweaver does
not allow the assignment of keyboard equivalents for user-created
commands, so until now I have relied on the haxie Menu Master to
make good this deficiency. But Menu Msster fails to work properly
with Dreamweaver CS3 for the Mac. I have alerted Unsanity about
this problem, but I don't think they have taken my complaint very
seriously. I suspect that other Dreamweaver users have used Menu
Master for the same purpose. If so, I would appreciate it if you
would contact Unsanity too. A bunch of similar complaints might get
thier attention.

Hi. I am experiencing the very same problem. No issues for
years up until recently - but my problems started not long after I
installed the latest upgrade for Mac OS 10.5.4 to 10.5.5 - I am
going to use Time Machine to revert back to 10.5.4 it may not be
the answer, nor a long-term solution but it driving me nuts.
I am currently deleting sites out of my site manager and then
reloading them from the STE file everytime I need to work on them.
I have read that this problem existed in Dreamweaver 8 on Windows,
but an update sorted it out - lets hope an update appears soon to
fix this problem.

Dreamweaver CS3 Mac -- PowerPC vs Intel

I have Dreamweaver CS3 running on a dual 1.8 Power Mac G5
with 1.5 gigs of RAM, and I think it's a dog. It's so much slower
at everything than DW8 that I find it impractical for daily
use—especially for managing a remote site via FTP. It seems
to work much faster and reliably for my colleagues on Windows XP on
newish PCs, however, I'm wondering if what I need is a new Intel
Mac. If anyone is running Dreamweaver CS3 on a MacBook Pro or Mac
Pro system, I would like to know your impressions.

I just received a brand new MacBook Pro with 2 gigs. I'm
running CS3 Mac and
Win (with Parallels) I don't like the Mac UI and stuff, but I
must say that
I'm very impressed with the performance. I've it hooked to a
20" monitor and
now I barely use my Desktop PC which is a Core2
Quad/2.4Gz/4Gigs/64 bits (to
tell you how good is the MacBook Pro).
I just can't stand the keyboard though...

Trade Dreamweaver CS3 Mac version for PC version.

Hello all,
I just mistakenly bought Dreamweaver CS3 Mac edition off of ebay. I need the PC version. Is anyone interested in trading versions or can anyone point me to somewhere that this is possible? Switching editions seems to be fairly common situation, but not possible with older versions.
Thanks

Not a very helpful answer. Anyway CS3 works fine on Windows 7 64-bit. No reason to spend hundreds on the latest and greatest for me.
Well you are trying to sell it to a place where people own later versions of the software. As long as the license is good, you may still qualify for the CS6 upgrade at the full retail price because of Adobe's cross-grade policy whereby you pay the upgrade price to switch your license. Basically you sign a letter of destruction and get the version for the other OS. Ultimately, Adobe is moving to solve that probelm with the cloud which works on both operating systems.
But I will have to agree with other sentiments. If you want to get rid of it, best place to look is on Ebay as you found it.

Dreamweaver CS3 Mac loses ftp info

When I close dreamweaver cs3 i lose all of my ftp login
information. it keeps the server and the folder information, but
drops all of the login information. I know this happened on CS2,
windows version, but hadn't experienced any trouble with it until
today (and i've been running dreamweaver CS3 mac for a year or so)

Missing Toolbar icons Dreamweaver CS3 Mac

Hi Folks, new to this forum so apologies if asked before.
have installed trial download of Dreamweaver CS3 on my Mac
(G5 running OS X.4).
Dreamweaver opens up but all of the toolbox icons are missing
and are replaced with a generic 'broken icon' type. Similarly if an
image is inserted onto the 'work area' it does not show up but
again is a 'broken icon' of a simlar type.
Strangely enough the downloaded trial of CS3 works fine on my
Win XP laptop, but on the Mac .... no go..
Any clues or answers anyone. BTW all other CS3 apps work
absolutely fine.
Thanks
Rob

Thanks again ofr that tip and link to the 'clean' file.
Still no better I am afraid.
I tried all of the methods associated with this file,
including the 'script' which did remove all traces, including
preference files, of DW CS3. It is almost as if the preference
files refuse to write properly and include information about
displaying the graphics.
Looks like it is definitely an incompatibility with mac OSX.4
BTW, all other CS3 applications display things perfectly. It
is only a Dreamweaver problem.
Have already got DW installed on a PC (Win XP) and that does
not have this display. However as I produce most of the graphics on
the Mac it would have been simper to keep it all on one OS
platform.
thanks

Dreamweaver CS3 Drag and Drop feature

I have been trying to create two links on my index.html page in Dreamweaver CS3. However, after I have cut and pasted a whole image in place of a three part image my drag and drop feature will not turn off. Each time I attempt to highlight the text on the page by dragging the cursor over the text the entire image moves.
Please help. I need to create links to other pages.

Thanks for your reply. I didn't realize until this morning that I had a
response. Here is the code pasted in this email below:

Dreamweaver CS3 Mac

DW CS3 of Mac (OSX 10.5.6) Was working fine yesterday. Today
it freezes when it says in the green launching /startupbox "Loading
Site Cache..."
Whats going on? I just performed maint. utilities w/Onyx
(w/restart) and still same result. I have about 20 sites managed on
DW CS3 currently.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Steve

Try opening up your user account->Library->Preferences
and then search for Dreamweaver. Delete the .plist file and restart
DW. It will take longer for DW to start up the next time around
because the Mac OS will need to create a new preferences file. See
if this helps.

Dreamweaver CS3 (Mac OS X) Toolbars

Why is it that even when I save my workspaces, whenever I reopen Dreamweaver, my Toolbars have always disappeared and I have to go through the menus to show them again?
I know it's only a small trivial thing, but it is so frustrating and annoying. It's making me consider ditching Mac CS3 and booting up my PC for development again.
Is there any way to stop this happening?

How do you get your toolbars to appear after you have reopened Dreamweaver?

Dreamweaver CS3 (Mac) performance issues

I am running DW CS3 on a MacbookPro 2.16/ 2Gb Mac OS X
10.4.10.
It is slow to respond to mouse actions (constantly hitting
the wrong button as a result), constantly hangs (but comes back to
life eventually), is sometimes slow to type, renders faint dotted
lines across pages (built in MX2004 with CSS) and is generally
CRAP!
It runs slower than MX2004 on the same machine. I have both
versions installed on the machine (but don't run them at the same
time!). I have similar issues with Conribute CS3 not responding as
well.
Please offer some assistance before I throw my computer
across the room! Why is it so fsat on a PC, is something to do with
the way the Mac does Java? Help - i don't want to get rid of my Mac
for a PC!

Unable to open D3 NEF in CS3 (Mac) and CS2 (Win)

I have installed the latest Camera Raw Update file (Mac OSX 10.5.3), but when I try to open a nef-file that was taken with my Nikon D3, CS3 complains about an invalid file type - ??? Opening the same file in Nikon NX works without a problem. A friend of mine who still works with CS 2 on Windows XP (incl. Camera Raw 3.7) has the same problem.
Any idea? Since Nikon NX is opening the file the problem can't come from the camera, right? I apreciate every tip! Thanks in advance.

To answer the first question (from the first message), take a look at the installation instructions and make sure you have placed the plug-in in the exact folder. There is a user folder and a main (?) Folder that are named very similarly, and you must put the plug-in in the right one or it won't work. I apologize, but I have never used by Mac computer so my terminology may not be exactly right.
As far as the second question is concerned, I don't believe the Nikon D60 was supported until after CS3 was released. Ongoing support for Camera Raw is only provided for the current version of Photoshop. Photoshop CS2 might not be very old from your point of view, but in software it is practically ancient history.
The last version of Camera Raw that would work with Photoshop CS2 is version 3.7. If your camera is not supported in that version then you will either have to upgrade your version of Photoshop or else you can use the most current version of the DNG converter to convert your raw files to DNG files. Those can be opened in Photoshop CS2/Camera Raw 3.7.

Dreamweaver CS3 Mac: Slow FTP

FTP connect is super slow on my Intel iMac. I have both DW8 and DW CS3, and both intermittently produce long delays while uploading files. Sometimes files will upload in 2-3 seconds, other times I'll sit and wait for 45-60 seconds for an upload to finish. Sometimes the upload fails entirely. I've changed every site related setting (and tried every imaginable combination), turned off external file display and all invisible items display, but I can't get reliable upload speeds.
The crazy thing is that while DW is sitting there, I can manually fire up Terminal, type my connect to FTP server info, manually copy and paste my username and password, type my cd and lcd info, type my put with file name, and the file transfer is done before DW finishes. Of course I don't want to be forced to use Terminal for something that's built into DW, and I don't want to switch to Finder and Fetch every time either. If anyone has suggestions on what else I might try I'd be most grateful (especially if one of the suggestions works!).

I've been struggling with this problem for months, and during that time contacted Network Solutions repeatedly to try to determine the source of the problem. They won't put you in direct contact with a person who actually knows anything, but instead "escalate" issues to techs, who then send copy/paste form letters 2-3 days later saying everything's fine.
After running every diagnostic imaginable, and even reinstalling my OS, I decided to open a test account with Godaddy.com. They got me set up in minutes, and FTP response in DW was immediate, as it should be. Due to the fact that Network Solutions didn't lift a finger to help resolve this FTP problem that was apparently on their end the whole time, as well as numerous other problems I've been reporting for weeks, I've dropped them. I'm very happy with Godaddy so far, and FTP has been glorious since I switched. They even offer customer service in my native tongue, English. Imagine that.

[CS3 Mac] Strange menu problem - 'InDesign' menu moved ..

Encoding and exporting text (JS CS3 MAC and PC)

Hi -- I am trying to export text from InDesign as an ASCII file. But I am ending up with a zero K file.
var myX = new File(myTarget);
myX.encoding = "ASCII";
myX.lineFeed = "unix";
myX.open("w");
myX.write(myString);
myX.close();
I have success with this:
var myX = new File(myTarget);
myX.encoding = "UTF-8";
myX.lineFeed = "unix";
myX.open("w");
myX.write("\uFEFF" + myString);
myX.close();
But the person on the other end of the export says I need to convert UTF-8 to ASCII encoding.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

ANSI =/= ASCII
If you have your string in Javascript, all you have to do is kick out all characters with a Unicode greater than 255. For "true" ASCII you also have to ditch all 8-bit characters, i.e. everything above code 127. It's straightforward to replace them with a '?'; you could make it nicer by replacing them with "acceptable" replacements for the most common characters, such as a straight double quote instead of double curlies, remove accents from Latin-1 characters, replacing en and em dashes with hyphens, etc. Even replacing the ellipsis with "..." wouldn't do no harm. But you're going to have to make some compromises.
Is your client really okay with you sending "processed" text? Depending on what goes in, the output may or may not resemble anything coherent anymore. Imagine a phrase in Greek.
>There are some utf-8 characters they cannot handle.
Wot nonsense. "Some"!? It's All or Nothing, I'd say. If they send you a list of those they can, or cannot, you could make a better translation.
>.. notes ..
Wait, you have notes -- as in "footnotes"? That concept simply does not exist in ASCII, ANSI, or for that matter, in UTF-8.

What's a good wysiwyg menu widget for Dreamweaver CS6 Mac?

I'm trying to build menus in Dreamweaver CS6 Mac, and started using Spry...then learned that Adobe will no loner be supporting Spry and that it may not be as compatible with browsers in the future.
What's a good alternative wysiwyg menu widget for Dreamweaver that's makes it easy to create horizontal/vertical pop-down menus/sub menus? I'd be willing to pay for it if it's worth it. Would be nice if it worked within Dreamweaver using Design/Spit modes the way Spry does, but not essential. Thanks!

Project Seven are widely regarded for their commercial DW menu extensions.
PMM3 is one of the best I've seen
http://www.projectseven.com/products/menusystems/pmm3/index.htm
I have no affiliation with Project Seven other than as a happy customer.
There are other menu systems out there too but I've never used them.

Dreamweaver CS3 for MAC bug / MySQL with PHP

I am using DW for Windows for over 4 years, this time I have
to change my desktop to a MACBookPro because of the long run time
on battery and best 17" laptop screen. But DW CS3 cannot connection
to my MySQL database on my remote server like Windows version.
After talking to Adobe tech support, they acknowledge that it is a
software bug and there is no fix nor work around. I paid a lot of
money for the CS3 Design premium suite and it is frustrating that
Adobe does event test this basic function and all tech support can
give me with my premium support contract is they submitted bug
report and there is no ETA or anyone will alert me when a fix is
available!!!!!
I just like to share this so any one is thinking about using
Dreamweaver for MAC and need MySQL, you should check with Adobe
before pulling you credit out.

I've been a Mac convert for about 2 years now. Right now, I'm
running DW CS3 on an Intel iMac and it runs beautifully. On my
Powerbook G4 (1.33 GHz PPC G4 and 2 GB of ram) the performance is
slightly lacking. One thing to be wary of with adobe products -
they can be memory hogs. Photoshop is especially notorious for
this.
Also, the more you have installed on a Mac laptop, the slower
it will run. Mine used to take a few minutes to boot because of all
the programs I had installed, and nothing was starting up with the
machine. After a format and clean install it runs like new.
That is something for you to consider, if you have all the
necessary software to reinstall everything you want. I never turn
off any features in DW and I have only had a few buggy problems.
Nothing major though.
