Dreamweaver file manager

I connect to my client old ftp server using dreamweaver file manager.
When i connect remotely, i see all the files on the server in the file list. I want to have what is on the server to my local drive. so i click get. But the dreamweaver filemanager is getting only html files and only some folders. There are php, css files missing to my local drive and also some folders.
what i am doing wrong? is their a setting i am missing or addon to install? I want whatever is on the www folder to be on my local server so that i can work with the files?
Please advise.
thanks

Did you highlight the files that you want to download before clicking on Get Files?

File Manager problem

I am trying to assist my mate uploading documents onto his site. He has been set up with Dreamweaver and is more hopeless than I am. It is a case of the blind leading the blind.
I am able to upload and overwrite files using his legacy file manager but cannot do so using his file manager.
After opening file management I then open on web root and then hit go. I am then supposed to be able to click on the upload button in order to be able to browse in order to select the file I want. I am then supposed to be able to upload it. But nothing at all happens when I first hit upload in order for me to be able to browse.
As I have said, this does not happen with legacy file manager, where it allows me to hit upload files and then allows me to browse and then upload without delay.
I contacted the bloke who installed the system and he is unsure as to why it happens. He said it could be something to do with my browser popup settings, but they are okay. I would be very grateful for advice.

I'm not sure which one he's using. I'm at my own computer at the moment and my mate's not around. I'll find out asap. Sorry my question was confusing. I am very much a layman.

File manager window remains focused in DW CS6

If I open the file manager window to display my hard drive and the server files, then click on a file in the hard drive display to edit it, it opens behind the file manager window and I cannot view it properly without moving the file manager window, or closing the file manager window. It used to be that when you click on a file like this it would take precedence. I am on a Mac if that makes a difference. Do not have this problem with previous versions of DW.

Hi:
I got this from Adobe:
The issue that you have mentioned will happen only if you have turned on "Application Frame". You can toggle the 'Application Frame' setting from menu item 'Window > Application Frame' in Dreamweaver.
If you turn off the 'Application Frame', the file will get the focus after opening it from Files Panel.
But full frame, fill my 7" screen is a nuisance. I don't want to have it that big every time I open a file. It is ridiculous. I need to have DW operating in one part of the screen while I bring up mail and web pages in the other, and then cut and paste from an email into a DW file page.

File Manager Pro.....Advice from other users please

I uploaded much of my music collection to Skydrive in anticipation of iPad ownership.
I planned to hold a small selection on the device and refresh/replace albums from Skydrive whilst on my travels using Hotel WiFi.
I have discovered that even using the "Skydrive App" one can only stream such media content, not download it.
Enter "File Manager Pro".
...This promised to be the answer to a maiden's prayer.
...alas, no.
Though I can now download music using the App, it remains imprisoned within the application, only being playable on the "One Shot" rudimentary in-built player.
Does anyone know of a way to transfer these music files to the iPad library where I could then access them from the iPad player?
Alternatively, is there some other way of downloading music from Skydrive directly to the iPad music library?

If you are seeing Save to Remote Server, then your site is
not properly
defined. It should be defined as an FTP site, NOT as an FTP
and RDS Server
site (unless you REALLY know what you are doing).

File manager - spuriously opening folders ?

Since upgrading to DW CS - I've generally pleased with it.
But I have
noticed a little quirk which is annoying.
In the file manager - when closing a folder by clicking on
the square
box with minus sign which becomes + - like many other
programs - quite
often and with no easily detected pattern, another folder
below which
had been closed, now opens to show the files contained within
it.
have I described it ok ?
Anyone else noticed this ? - is it a known bug - is it worth
reporting
to Adobe ?

search on
http://groups.google.com for:
dreamweaver+alan+expanded+registry
There's a registry setting in the site def info for what
folders to show
expanded when a site is opened.
alternate probable fix- make a new site definition from
scratch.
probably way to prevent this from recurring- close the
folders when changing
sites or shutting dw down.
repost of old info- modify the folder location/registry key
name as needed
for the version you are using
Summary of the solution:
It's a registry thing. so do the usual backups !!!
1. Open regedit.
2. Navigate to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Macromedia\Dreamweaver 6\Sites\
*modify as needed for the version of dw you are using
3. Select the site number that you're having problems with
(just look in
each one e.g. "-Site3" until you see the site name being
mentioned).
4. Careful here...
Locate the values that begin with "Local Expanded Dir" and
end with a number
(there should be quite a few of 'em) and delete them.
5. Then open the value "Local Expanded Dirs" and using a
'Decimal' base,
change the value to 0 (zero).
6. Quit regedit, and that should solve it...

Help Customizing File Manager

Hello,
I am not sure if it is possible to do this. I really like mac and dreamweaver but the only thing I do not like is the way it mixes directory folders with and other files in alphabetical order. I am used to have directories above all the other files in my site structure the way windows does it. I know some software allow this change via settings in mac. Does anyone know if dreamweaver cs6 has a setting somewhere for that? Thanks.

When you view the file manager, scroll across to the "Type" Column. Click the "Type" heading and it will sort it by folder or files. You may need to click it twice depending which one goes first.

Kudos on the File Manager Fixes!

As a group that prefers the "Develop" file manager interface over Dreamweaver, we're stoked about this week's bug fixes -- works perfectly now!
If you don't already use the file manager, you should consider giving it another try...
With the exception of auto-complete tags, it's faster than Dreamweaver in most every way
Faster saving without the need to upload changes (manual or auto)
Faster access to module toolbox and data
If you work in the admin while also working in Dreamweaver, you'll notice that Dreamweaver work logs you out of the admin. Not so if you use the file manager instead!
Doesn't crash like Dreamweaver.
Doesn't display the spinning ball of death like Dreamweaver (Mac)
Doesn't require so much window swapping
Next, I'd love to see a "refresh" function for both the file structure (if you add a web app now, you have to switch to the Manage view, then back to Develop to see it listed in the "Layouts" folder) and a refresh function for web app data fields.
BTW, if you don't know what the bugs were, they involved auto code intending issues and an odd window scroll jump when deselecting after a "select all".
Kudos, BC team -- this is a huge improvement!

Using bash as your file manager?

Hello,
My belief is that all file managers suck. There are no exceptions to this. So, for the past few months, I've been sourcing a file with a bunch of tricks I've invented / found through browsing the web to make using just bash as a file manager much more convenient.
Here's what I currently use:
# fm v1.9.1 by Kiah Morante
# A very simple file manager.
# Depends on pycp/pymv, http://github.com/yannicklm/pycp and feh
# 'source' this file in a BASH shell
showHidden=0 # Hidden files not shown
showDetails=0 # ls is replaced with ls -lh if showDetails is 1
shopt -s autocd # cd to a dir just by typing its name
PROMPT_COMMAND='[[ ${__new_wd:=$PWD} != $PWD ]] && list; __new_wd=$PWD' # ls after cding
# Shortcuts
source ~/.config/fm/shortcuts # Call all custom shortcuts
alias ..='cd ..'
alias ...='cd ../..'
alias ....='cd ../../..'
alias h='cd ~'
alias n='cd "$n"'

bind '"\C-y":"cpwd\C-m"'
bind '"\C-p":"cd "$OLDPWD"\C-m"' # Hint: You could also type '~-'
# FM prompt appearance
if [[ $(whoami) == 'root' ]]; then
# So that the user knows if they have root privileges:

Actually, I found this to be one of the best advantages of using bash is that it forces a user to think about file organization and making useful naming schemes for files.
For example, instead of having 1000+ media files in one directory I subcategorize theme by genre or whatever, and then probably subcategorize them again.
Then I usually rename the files to something meaningful, like if I have 50 pictures of my kids birthday, just do a for each loop on the directory and rename all the files donovan_birthdayX.jpg where X is an integer incrementation.
essentially. just don't "have files cluttered all throughout you hard drive and folders all over". and your life will be much happier regardless of how you manage your files.

I would like to find a file manager/ image browser like ACDSee 32

Coming from the Windows environment (it is where I make my living) I have found the Mac environment to be significantly different and pose a considerable learning curve especially when it comes to file management. I like to be able to view and manage files from within the same application but have yet to find something that will allow me the freedom I am used to. Ideally I am looking for something like ACDSee 32 (the last good version) which acts like a typical file manager but has a full sized preview pane as well. This allows you to preview a picture then drag and drop it into a folder of your choosing. The software also allows you to do some minor edits and create folders as well.
Preview on my MacBook is a still born idea, iPhoto want to take all of my photos and store them in a proprietary environment (not happening) and Xie is a very nice file viewer but does nothing else. Any useful suggestions of a software that will do what I would like it to do would be appreciated.
Thank you.

How do I... (1) "play" a ppt; (2) "see" my sub-folders and their files in "Docs To Go" or "File Manager"?

This is written for the Playbook blog writer in the hope that he will see it here and post a blog answer. However, a reply from anyone would be appreciated. Thanks.
[2 questions about PPBB OS 2.0+]
Hi. Thanks for your very informative blog. I would appreciate it if you would consider writing blog tips to answer the following:
1) Why can't I organize my files in "Documents" or "File Manager" to "see" them in their sub-folders?
BBPB allows me to create SUB folders in the Documents folder, through my pc's access to the "Documents" folder in the Playbook. However, then I cannot "see" these created sub-folders on my BBPB after I disconnect my BBPB from my PC.
All the files I downloaded into these "sub" folders end up all together in the file list in "DOCS TO GO", either in "Documents" or "Music" or "Video" or "Pictures" ---- but these files are NOT separated into the sub-folders I created. The same thing happens in "FILE MANAGER" i.e. all files on the Playbook are in ONE place only.
Is the Playbook OS ever going to allow one to view sub-folders and what is in them, other than using the pc to do it? For example, it would be desirable to put all my ppt files into one folder.
2) How do I "play" a PPT file in the BBPB?
The BBPB "User Guide" says that I can "view, edit, or play" Powerpoint Presentations. However, although it describes how to "view" or "edit" individual slides, it does not say how to "play" ("run") a slideshow. How do you "play" a self-running slideshow?
For example, in Windows, you can click "play.bat" (in a saved "presentation cd" folder on a cd or USB stick) to run the ppt with sound and pictures saved in that folder (you don't need the Powerpoint program itself for this, since you are using the "pptview.exe" file in the same folder to "play" it). However, after downloading all the files in this "presentation cd" folder to the Playbook, I could only see one of them, the ppt file itself ---- and there is no icon in the Playbook to "play" the slideshow, it seems. Help?!
Thank you.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

First, I use an app called "File Browser" to view those subfolders.
As for running a powerpoint, I can open a ppt file and it runs in Documents to go. Next to the "Close" button there are three icons. The third one runs the ppt file as a slideshow.

Some videos are semi-missing - they do not show up in File Manager apps or another app

I have what I will call three FILER apps: File Browser, Air Browser and File Commander. I also have MovieSRTPlayer. Those apps appear to not register the presence of some video files that I have definitely copied to my PB. The MovieSRTPlayer will overlay a .srt file's text over a video allowing the pb to show subtitles. It works as long as it can find the video and srt files.
I am definitely transferring a series of video files to the pb's video folder. I am also transferring a companion file to that folder. The companion file is a subtitle file in the form of an .SRT file.
THREE file manager type apps do NOT show those files as present in the video folder. The Video app itself does show and play those video files.
I have copied the files using both wifi-sharing and when they did not show up that way, I copied them using the usb cable to the pb's Z: drive and the video folder.
As stated the dam! files play in the video app. But they do not appear in the various filer apps. And they also do not show in another app, one that will display the subtitle (.srt file) file overlaying the video. In all instances it is as if the pb does not register the presence of those files on the pb.
Now, what is interesting is that when this first cropped up, 7 files were missing - just a mix of video (no .srt files involved). That is they showed in the video app and played but the filer programs did not show them. I managed last night and this morning to get 7 of those to finally show by copying/moving/deleting and recopying. But now I'm running into this brick wall again. I have repeatedly copied two video (avi files) and their companion .srt files to the video folder. They are in that folder (I've looked using usb and wifi-sharing) and they play in the PB's video app. They are most certainly on my pb.
Oh, and yes, I've rebooted a number of times.
Ideas?

I have what I call 3 file manager apps. File Browser, Air Browser and File Commander (the older free version).
They all show or don't show the same thing. So files are missing. And SIZE is not the sole determining factor. When I was testing MovieSRT and "lost" some files I copied and renamed avi and .srt files. So there are two extra .srt files in the Video folder. But while they are 32kb (kilobytes) and 58kb respectively, they do NOT show up in the File managers. The other two identical files with the names matching the .avi files do show up. The one very large mp4 (2gb) does not show up. A subfolder I created just as a test does not show up. But the large mp4 and subfolder were showing up while I was actively copying the 2gb file - they would show up as the file was being copied - the filemanagers showed the file getting larger and larger and while doing so the "missing" subfolder also kept showing up. Then once the large file was completely copied, both it and the subfolder "disappeared" - again, the large mp4 does show in the Video app and it plays.
My persistence probably is based on the fact I was a computer programmer many eons ago! Also, I was trying to get YOUR app to work and the avi files were not showing up in your listing but they were showing and playing in Video app (but no subtitles). Finally, after copying/moving/re-copying over and over including moving and copying to the PB's Print folder (just since it was empty) and copying it back to the video folder (now 2 copies), the files would finally show up. Peculiar - yup!
Oh, one other thing - the 3 file managers all show what I will call the virtual Playbook-Demo video in their listings - your app does NOT show it. Obviously, it is not located in the Video Folder but somewhere in the bowels of the PB. So, the filemanagers are relying on some "file structure" that is not fully correct. But your app does not appear to show it.

File Management in C5-03

Recently i was buying Nokia C5-03 because it has both 3g & Wifi as well as the price is
affordable. i am happy with this phone except some issues regards to file management. unlike the basic Nokia OS, here i couldn't find a way to manage my files easily. as an example, if i want to move some files from Image Gallery to a New Folder by Marking what i want to move, there is no option maybe still i could not. as well as does anybody know, if there's 3rd party file management software to download i beleive it will assist me on this concern.
Solved!

How delete unwanted system sync in file manager?

Hello! As a result of testing Z10 10.1.0.2014, Blackberry Link wifi sync of files with my Windows PC, I have extra repositories listed in File Manager on the Z10. The list shows "Device", "Media Card", "Box", and also "LT2", "LT2-1 (offline)" and "LT2-2". The string LT2 represents the PC's hostname.
I would like to delete the "LT2" and "LT2-1" entries from File Manager's list, as the Link feature does not work for them (early tests). Also I would then like to rename "LT2-2" (which does work) to just "LT2".
How can I do that? If not presently possible, please consider this a feature request.
I think this is a File Manager feature request, not a Blackberry Link request.
Thanks,

Changing the default file manager in XFCE

How would I go about using Nautilus as the default file manager in XFCE instead of Thunar? I know it can be started up with 'nautilus --no-desktop', but how do I make this the default when opening folders from the desktop, menus, etc..?
The main reason I want to do this is because Thunar doesn't seem to remember a folders last setting. For example, there are folders which I would like to permanently view as a list, sorted by date; but there are plenty of other folders where this is not suitable. Nautilus remembers settings for each folder, Thunar doesn't, and it gets annoying changing the view mode each time. Also network browsing is easier in Nautilus, and I also like the way it tells you how fast file transfers are going.
Thanks very much,

Well, it might be considered a dirty hack but it has worked for me in gnome before so it should also work in xfce. Just edit the thunar.desktop file in /usr/share/applications and replace the Exec=thunar to Exec=nautilus --no-desktop and save the file. Then any time thunar is launched, nautilus will be launched instead.
Otherwise, you can edit the menu with the menu editor and change the File manager command and do the same in the panel icon properties. Both methods will work.
