Dreamweaver file dialogue problems

Hi,
I am running Dreamweaver 8 (for about a day or so) and have
been using Dreamweaver for a few years now. The files dialogue box
was fine but has now lost all the options like check in file and
whether you want to look at a local sit or remote site these were
there earlier today and I can’t find how to get them back..
Also when I click manage sites and edit I get nothing like the site
definitions dialogue just the FTP set up, my preferences for
Dreamweaver 8 also don’t look the same as they did in the
help.
Has anyone else had these problems? I have done a full update
as well…
Thanks any help much appreciated…

In the problems and solutions center I did enter
ftp.irs.gov
anonymous
and it did connect to that.

After reopening dreamweaver files, the table and its contents are not shown in design view

I got a problem with deisgn view which has stucked me for the whole week. I've designed a webpage with dreamweaver CS4. After reopening this webpage, I got problem to see the tables and images inserted in dreamweaver (the sliced images from fireworks works well). Somehow this problem only existed in design view, but NOT is browswer view/ live view. I thought it is the setting problem, but I tried to reopen the webpage I designed earlier... got no problem in either design or live view. I also tried starting over another new file, same problem existed (tables/images do not show in design view) I am really confused. Any thoughts?
I've already done my research everywhere, but cannot find solution.

Thank you so much... it works...
I should come here earlier... wasted lots of time !!

Photoshop CS5 x64 crashes when file dialogue opens.

I am running PS CS5 64-bit on a Windows 7 Ultimate PC with 12GB RAM.
It has been running fine, but today, all of a sudden, when I do anything that opens a file dialogue, PS crashes and quits.
If I select "Open..." or "Save As..." PS will crash/quit.
I have tried deleting my prefs. Still the same problem.
Interestingly, PS CS5 32-bit works fine, as does other Adobe programs since I have the CS5 Master Collection.
I guess I will try uninstalling PS and reinstalling.
Thanks,
-Darin

Thanks for the tip Chris.
I created a new user and no longer had the problem with the open dialogue on the new user account.
On my main user, the problem is still there.
So I know this is out of the scope of this forum, but how do I go about resetting or fixing the dialog settings? I only have this problem with PS. Other apps are fine.
Oh well, I will try to figure it out from here. At least I have an idea where to start.
Thanks again,
-Darin

File Info problems in Photoshop CC & CS5.1 on OS X 10.8

I have recently upgraded my Macs, running OS X Mountain Lion, from Photoshop CS5.1 to Photoshop CC for two reasons:
1. Because it most the most cost efficeint way to obtain the latest Camera Raw plugins that are no longer supported in CS5.1
2. Because I began experiencing issues on two Macs where initially only in Bridge, was I no longer able to input any File Info dialogue.
I make extensive use of File Info templates, which are then applied to batches of files in Bridge before individual files, or groups of files requiring the identical metadata are modified.
After a time, once the overall batch of File Info templates had been applied to files I discovered that I was unable to edit them further. Even after Repairing Permissions in Disk Utility it usually took a reboot to fix the problem, although the problem was always solved.
However there came a point a few weeks ago when I was unable write any further metadata to File Info, in Bridge or Photoshop, no matter what I did. Again this issue happened on two Macs so I'm guessing that it is not a machine issue.
As I needed the latest Camera RAW plugins as well I decided to upgrade to Photoshop CC, which I have to say I have been very pleased with - until now. The dreaded File Info problem has now occurred again, although currently only in Photoshop, not Bridge. When I try to add or modify any information in File Info in Photoshop CC the dialogue box just closes!
Clearly it is not just a Photoshop CC issue although I never had the problem prior to CS5.1 and I leapfrogged CS6 and I find it hard to believe that it is a machine issue. Could it be a conflict with the OS or with Extensis Suitcase Fusion 4?
Has anyone else encountered this problem?

Curt, Thanks for your rapid response.
To answer your questions. I thought that, initially, the problem might be a permissions problem but it occurs on both boot drives and also when the same files are copied to Firewire external drives - on both Macs, but different external drives in each case. I followed your link but there was nothing there that I didn't already know or hadn't already tried, thanks.
One computer is a 24" iMac and the other is a 15" MacBook Pro. I've also tried to replicate the problem on four PowerMac G5s running OS X 10.5.8 with Photoshop/Bridge CS4, with the same drives plugged in, but have experienced no problems at all. It's quite bizarre.
Also, looking deeper into the conundrum, I find that I can't input any numbers, only letters! Using the keyboard all numbers, whether on the main or auxiliary keypads, cause the File Info dialogue box to either jump to a new tab or close. Using Shift on the numbered keys works perfectly however!
It just goes on getting better...

Weird dreamweaver keyboard mapping problem

weird dreamweaver keyboard mapping problem:
Hope this solution helps someone out. If you have q's, ask
and I will try to help.
I was having a weird problem in dreamweaver... Whenever I was
in code view and typed "shift+i" to make a capital "I", instead it
would paste from the clipboard.
I finally figured out what was happening. I compared the
menu.xml in my app support folder in the user library to the
original menu.xml file that was in the application folder. I went
through until I came across the diff:
menu.xml in my library/app support folder:

<shortcut key="Cmd+Ins" name="Copy2" platform=""
command="if (dw.canClipCopy()) { dw.clipCopy() }"
domRequired="FALSE" id="DWShortcuts_HTMLSource_Copy2" />
<shortcut key="Shift+Ins" name="Paste2" platform=""
command="if (dw.canClipPaste()) { dw.clipPaste() }"
domRequired="FALSE" id="DWShortcuts_HTMLSource_Paste2" />
<shortcut key="Shift+Del" name="Cut2" platform=""
command="if (dw.canClipCut()) { dw.clipCut() }" domRequired="FALSE"
id="DWShortcuts_HTMLSource_Cut2" />
orig menu.xml file:

<shortcut key="Cmd+Ins" name="Copy2" platform=""
command="if (dw.canClipCopy()) { dw.clipCopy() }"
domRequired="FALSE" id="DWShortcuts_HTMLSource_Copy2" />
<shortcut key="Shift+Ins" name="Paste2" platform=""
command="if (dw.canClipPaste()) { dw.clipPaste() }"
domRequired="FALSE" id="DWShortcuts_HTMLSource_Paste2" />
<shortcut key="Shift+Del" name="Cut2" platform=""
command="if (dw.canClipCut()) { dw.clipCut() }" domRequired="FALSE"
id="DWShortcuts_HTMLSource_Cut2" />
There was a diff in the "platform=" tags. The orig stated
[platform="win"], my config stated [platform=""] (nothing in
between the ""'s). So, I reset the platform tag to be
[platform="win"] in my settings and then relaunched dreamweaver. It
fixed the problem.
Not sure how this occurred, but it works now.

Open file dialogue hangs with extension panels

Hi. I have PS CS5 64 bit running on a PC, Win 7.
Everything has been working fine but I have recently installed two new extension panels - Fundy Image Brander and Tych Panel. When either of these scripts require you to input a file to open via the Open File dialogue box, everything hangs for 2-3 minutes. The mouse and keyboard do not lock and you can open up other windows which work fine. The open file dialogue just hangs (not just on selecting an individual image but selecting a drive or folder). If you call up the Task Manager and End Photoshop as a task a dialogue box pops up with the mesage "The system cannot end this program because it is waiting for a response from you."
Photoshop otherwise works well. It's just when the extension panel requires you to input a file to open. Has anyone else encountered this problem or has any ideas?

Hi. Both are extension panels. Fundy Image Brander is a paid for extension (http://www.fundysoftware.com/image-brander/) and the other a free extension (http://lumens.se/tychpanel/).
I have seven extension panels running and these are the only two that require the user to set file input locations.
Photoshop otherwise works just fine and I have no problems opening files. Other Windows programs also run without any problems. It's just these two that hang when the select or open file dialogue appears.
And no I haven't contacted the producers.

Flash Builder 4.7 + OSX 10.10 Yosemite + File Dialogue Box = CRASH :-(

Problem Description:
When attempting to use a Flash Builder File Dialogue Box under OSX 10.10 Yosemite will immediately crash the application. This bug essentially now renders Flash Builder 100% useless!
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Flash Builder 4.7 on OSX 10.10 Yosemite
2. Attempt to use any File Dialogue Box, such as "Browse.." etc
Actual Result:
The application immediately crashes.
Expected Result:
You should be able to conduct the action, such as loading a Flex Project, adding an SDK etc.
Any Workarounds:
None

LOL
anyways, I've attempted to update the java symlink to move back to java 1.6 to see if that works.
java -version should report something like "java 1.7.0_xxx" for yosemite
sudo rm /usr/bin/java (remove our current java symlink to 1.7.x)
sudo ln -s /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6/Commands/java /usr/bin/java (sets up the new symlink)
java -version should now report something like "java 1.6.0_xx"
Done.

PDF 'File Save' problem in Firefox

Using Firefox browser, when I select a PDF file that opens in a new window [rather than a new tab], save it and close the window, the AcroRD32.exe process is not stopped. If I then open another PDF file in a similar manner, it can not be saved. Each time you close a PDF window, you have to go to Task Manager and stop the AcroRD32 process before being abl;e to save a subsequent document. This does not happen with IE.
Using Reader 10.1.1 and Firefox 8 on a Windows Vista32 system.

Same bug i see in Opera browser. PDFs doesn't saves without stopping AcroRd32 process. And save dialogue doesn't appears when clicking links (even if web browsing function deactivated in adobe reader settings)...
Apart from this File Save problem, there is more strange things while browsing PDF online, like "blinks", hangs, image dissapear, suddenly lags without any reason, browser crashing and more...
So, because adobe reader prevents to download PDFs, and because it works very buggy with online browsing, especially if website uses adobe flash to show PDFs, the only right solution i found is uninstalling adobe reader. After that File Save problem was gone!

Tab through the Close File dialogue window buttons?

In the past when closing a document or file (any app) I could Tab through the different 'Don't Save', 'Cancel' & 'Save' buttons on the close file dialogue window. And also hit the spacebar to select the highlighted button.
But not any more. It could have stopped working when I deleted items (cleaned up?) from my home Library folder, or maybe it happened after the 10.4.10 update?
Does anyone else have the same problem? (Can you Tab through them & hit the spacebar to select the highlighted button?) Does anyone know how to fix it?

Select "All controls" at the bottom of the "Keyboard Shortcuts" pane of "Keyboard & Mouse" System Preference. Control-F7 will also turn it on or off.

Yosemite time machine file restore problem

I'm trying to restore some files (iPhone backups) in OS X Yosemite, but am encountering a problem.
I can locate the files I need in Time Machine. When I hit restore the 'Star Wars' UI exits as I would expect, and the 'preparing to copy files' dialogue box appears.
At this point, it goes no further. I also get the following message in the console:
15/11/2014 6:00:30.406 am Finder[236]: setting error: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=3840 "The data couldn’t be read because it isn’t in the correct format." (Unexpected character at line 1) UserInfo=0x60800067d7c0 {NSDebugDescription=Unexpected character at line 1, kCFPropertyListOldStyleParsingError=The data couldn’t be read because it isn’t in the correct format.}
Any advice on how to address this will be greatly appreciated. I'm currently verifying the backup in Time Machine, but other than that I'm out of ideas.

Jimbo, have you looked in the system’s Trash? Just see if it needs to be emptied to free up space. As Eric mentioned, I’ve only done a complete restore by wiping the disk, reinstalling the OS, etc. so I’m just guessing in your situation something is still lying around.
You could also look in Spotlight for a folder (whose full name I can’t recall now) that begins with the name “Previous System” or something like that in your boot drive; it is created to archive your previous system in case you want to revery to an earlier version. If your system is fine now, it is safe to delete that folder - just remember to empty the Trash.

Batch Changing Dreamweaver files from XHTML to HTML

Almost all of my Dreamweaver files were created in XHTML
mode. In other
words, when I created a page and was asked whether I wanted
to make it
XHTML compatible, I said YES.
About the time I moved my websites from my PC to my Mac, I
finally
realized that XHTML is a lost cause and changed my doctypes
to HTML. But
I just discovered that even PHP include files that have no
doctype at
all automatically insert <br /> instead of <br>.
So I'm assuming that
there must be some invisible code that says "Format this page
for XHTML!"
So I'm wondering if there's a way to change every file in an
entire site
(or all my sites) from XHTML to HTML.
Thanks.

I use XHTML because it forces good coding practices such as
always closing
tags. The usual reason most people give for not using XHTML
is that IE
chokes when it is served as xml+application instead of text.
XHTML Strict
does not allow target="page.html" but transitional does so I
stick with
transitional.
I won't use XHTML 1.1 because I don't like the modularization
part of the
spec. I like a nice standard spec and don't want to create my
own picking
and choosing which modules to include.

Can you import Dreamweaver files into Muse, how?

Can you import Dreamweaver files into Muse, how?

If the images aren't showing up in DW, why do you think they will show in Muse? Obviously, something is wrong with the paths to those images. And that will most likely be due to the underlying code.
Can you post an example of a problem page?

Select File Dialogue Box in CC doesn't have data sources option

I am trying to use Dreamweaver to create dynamic links in my database. The select file dialogue box no longer lets me choose server side data sources. Does any one else know how to use this function in CC?

Dreamweaver files upload with zero filesize

Hi,
I have created a site using Dreamweaver CS6 and have come to upload it. I entered the FTP details and set it going. (Incidentally, is there a way you can get only files that are actually used in the site to upload, rather than everything you have in the site folder?) However, it seemed to be going very slowly, so I switched over to FileZilla, which I have previously found to be quite quick. Here, the connection appears to timeout so the upload is attempted repeatedly, and when it gives up retrying the selected file shows on the server but with a file size of 0.
Several emails to the hosting company, and a bit of trial-and-error later, it seems that it is only files that come under the umbrella of this Dreamweaver site which will not upload properly. If I select a random file from my desktop, it will upload to the same server, indicating there is nothing wrong with my username/password, ports etc.
Why would it be that only my Dreamweaver files will not upload? It is not limited to html files. jpg files won't upload either. Even jpg's which are not linked to but still in the site folder will not upload!
Any insight would be greatly appreciated, as I would like to put this project to bed!
Many thanks,
David

Can you upload these files to this site with DW (albeit slowly)?
No. With DW or FZ, to this server, the result is the same. DW just sits there saying 0 of 1 completed (or words to that effect) (since I established this is faulty I've only being trying single files, not the whole site.)
Can you upload files to other sites with DW and if so, is the result different?
Yes. If I enter details for another server DW and FZ will upload this site's files with no issue whatsoever.
FileZilla is not able to upload any files that come from DW at all?
No. FZ will upload this site's files created in DW to the second server.
If you put an external file that you *can* upload with FileZilla into a DW site, can you then upload it with DW? Or with FileZilla?
I copied index.html from the site folder onto the desktop, FZ still didn't want to know. I copied the random photo.jpg into the site folder, and that stopped uploading too. However, now whether from the desktop or the site folder, this jpg (and also another, which happened to be sat next to it on the desktop) now stop uploading at 262,144 bytes. Obviously the html files are much smaller at around 7-10kB so it can't be a max file size thing, and anyway a 1.5MB jpg was no problem yesterday.
Are you working within a defined site in DW?
Yes.
Do the site files reside on your local hard drive or an external drive?
Local hard drive.
Which operating system do you use?
Yesterday, Mac OS X 10.7; today 10.8.

Help with add file name problem with Photoshop CS4

Frustrating problem: Help with add file name problem with Photoshop CS4. What happens is this. When I am in PS CS4 or CS3 and run the following script it runs fine. When I am in Bridge and go to tools/photoshop/batch and run the same script it runs until it wants interaction with preference.rulerunits. How do I get it to quit doing this so I can run in batch mode? Any help is appreciated. HLower
Script follows:
// this script is another variation of the script addTimeStamp.js that is installed with PS7
//Check if a document is open
if ( documents.length > 0 )
var originalRulerUnits = preferences.rulerUnits;
preferences.rulerUnits = Units.INCHES;
try
var docRef = activeDocument;
// Create a text layer at the front
var myLayerRef = docRef.artLayers.add();
myLayerRef.kind = LayerKind.TEXT;
myLayerRef.name = "Filename";
var myTextRef = myLayerRef.textItem;
//Set your parameters below this line
//If you wish to show the file extension, change the n to y in the line below, if not use n.
var ShowExtension = "n";
// Insert any text to appear before the filename, such as your name and copyright info between the quotes.
//If you do not want extra text, delete between the quotes (but leave the quotes in).
var TextBefore = "Lower© ";
// Insert any text to appear after the filename between the quotes.
//If you do not want extra text, delete between the quotes (but leave the quotes in).
