Dreamweaver Snap Feature

Hi all,
Whenever I drag my dreamweaver window all the way to the bottom corner of the screen, it minimizes. This is similar to the Windows 7 snap feature that resizes windows, but i know that this is not a windows 7 feature because when I drag other windows to the bottom of the screen, they don't minimize. I've enclosed a short video clip of what I mean. Could someone tell me what this feature is called or how I can disable it? I have been googling "dreamweaver+snap", but this probably isn't what the feature is called, as this hasn't yielded any of the results I'm looking for.

What DW are you using (sorry, I don't want to download anything)? I'm not aware of the behavior you are describing but then the last time I used DW with the document windows undocked was in DW4, I believe. That is what you are doing, right - it's dragging an undocked document window?

Could someone from support please post a credible fix for the fact that the Dreamweaver preview feature hasn't worked since FF3.6 came out, and still won't work in FF3.6.10

Ever since FF3.6 came out there has been an issue with the Dreamweaver preview feature. As a result, I uninstalled 3.6 and am hanging out with 3.5.9 until this issue is resolved. Every time a new version of Firefox comes out I do a Google search to see if the issue has been resolved. I just did another search, and as of 9/23/10 with FF3.6.10 this issue is still not resolved. Could Firefox Support please provide a credible article about resolving this issue. People have been posting about it for years, and the only useful advice I have seen is for people to go back to 3.5.9 !?
I am currently working with Mac OS10.4.11, and DW CS3, but I have seen people post about having this issue with Mac OS10.5 and DW CS4 and other configurations, so the problem seems pretty universal.

Does Safari/Tiger have a "Windows 7 Snap" feature in it al all

We have just moved to windows 7 at work and one of the good things about it is their Snap feature. This is where you can drag a window to the side and it will ping back taking up half the screen. You can then do the same on the other side. Its great for when you want to move certain data or info from one to the other. You don't have to fiddle around resizing and as soon as the cursor is over a window then it is active. So can Safari/Tiger do this?

HI,
Right or control click the Title bar of any Safari window.
You aren't alone.....

Dreamweaver CC features such as Template Parameters

I have Dreamweaver CS6 and have not ventured onto the cloud yet. While looking up a question regarding syntax for Dreamweaver Template Parmeters, I noticed most of the documentation starts with the clause "The user interface has been simplified in Dreamweaver CC and later. As a result, you may not find some of the options described in this article in Dreamweaver CC and later." I found this expression even when I searched Creative Cloud specific support, e.g. see Dreamweaver Help | Using optional regions in templates. The link A Look at the Modernized Dreamweaver CC : Adobe Dreamweaver Team Blog is over a year old and no help.
How in the world do you find what features actually exist in Dreamweaver CC without buying it? Are Template Parameters still available? Has anyone successfully imported a Dreamweaver CS6 site that has Template Parameters to Dreamweaver CC? I found a PDF for Dreamweaver CC, (http://helpx.adobe.com/pdf/dreamweaver_reference.pdf) which seems to indicate Template Parameters are still supported, but I don't have a lot of faith in it based on previous experiences with Adobe documentation.
Thanks in advance.

Are Template Parameters still available?
Yes. Why do you want to use them? There are usually better ways to do things... Are you also using nested templates, by chance?
Has anyone successfully imported a Dreamweaver CS6 site that has Template Parameters to Dreamweaver CC?
There is no "import" to it. You just define a site in CC that points into the CS6 site's local root folder and you're ready to go.

Dreamweaver extract feature is broken

The Dreamweaver CC 2014 extract feature is not functional. Please Help!
I have renamed folders based on other posts, but nothing seems to work.
This cloud is broken or holding too much water:) I have been able to get Photoshop files to appear in a separate browser — different cloud.

Hi Mark,
Please post a snapshot of error for better understanding of the issue.
What did you mean by cloud is broken? and Photoshop files appear in separate browser?
Please elaborate more on it.
Thanks,

How do you turn off the Auto-Maximize Snap Feature

Hi,
I am sure that the auto-maximize is useful but there are occasions when I want to push a window out of the way to the top of the screen. I use this so I can either keep it open and work on other windows or when I have a large spreadsheet and every pixel is needed. It would be useful to over-ride it by holding down a key(s) for those occasions.
Narfle the Garthok!

Hi,
Thank you for posting.
We can do this to enable the keyboard actions and disable the mouse actions:
1.    Please go to “Control Panel - Ease of Access Center”.
2.    Go to “Make the mouse easier to use” and check the item “Prevent windows from being automatically arranged when moved to the edge of the screen.”.
3.    Then go to “Make the keyboard easier to use” and uncheck the item “Prevent windows from being automatically arranged when moved to the edge of the screen.”.
After applying the settings, if you drag the window to the edge of the screen, it will not be “auto-maximize”; and you can use the function with the hotkeys (Win+Up, Win+Left Win+Right,etc.).
Hope this helps.

Seems like a strange way of doing it, however it still does not work as intended, the behavior i am seeing is this.
1.    Please go to “Control Panel - Ease of Access Center”. no problem
2.    Go
to “Make the mouse easier to use” and check the item “Prevent windows
from being automatically arranged when moved to the edge of the
screen.”. no problem mouse will not snap windows problem hot keys disabled
3.    Then
go to “Make the keyboard easier to use” and uncheck the item “Prevent
windows from being automatically arranged when moved to the edge of the
screen.”. no problem hot keys enabled problem mouse snaps windows as setting is now unchecked that was checked in #2
In addition to this behavior if “Prevent windows
from being automatically arranged when moved to the edge of the
screen.” is checked it only applies to the current session as davehc1 noted. The only way i have found to keep the setting from reverting back to on is to alter the registry entry HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowArrangementActive

Dreamweaver extract feature

Hi everybody! How are you all? In DWCC, I am using the extract feature from Photoshop which I really like and find very helpful. Just one odd thing I noticed. For example, When you load a mockup and I click on a logo. (I know I should drag it over to put in as an image but just for the sake of example) It will show a drop down of the CSS properties and I can also copy the text. I created a div called #top and I copied the properties. I then copied the text and pasted it in, in the body of the doc so it was <div id="top">Text</div> Really easy and helps with time.
I noticed, that the logo which is a name seems to not fit the width and height that I was given in the extract. It always pushes the last name to the next line. I don't know why. I find it to be very odd. I will include screen pics. When I drag the logo over as an image, there is no issue because it just comes directly from Photoshop. I have been scratching my head trying to figure out why this is doing this. If I repeat everything I just said but used the word Web Design or something else it may work but then the height might be a bit off. If I type in text for a paragraph type of thing, it seems to be fine.
I created a sample mockup just to show you what I mean.
Any idea what is going on? Shouldn't the width and height match the same as the mockup? Here are some screen pics to show you what I mean. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
This first screen pic shows the extract information from the name Mark Samburg.
This second image shows what happens when I copy the styles and text. See how it bumps to the next time?
This third image shows the code.

I think there is some misinformation in this thread.
1) As far as I can tell, the reason why the OP's text breaks to the next line probably is caused by rounding the text size up instead of down. The extract screenshot is taken at 67.97% size, and when the DW screenshot is scaled down at that size, the extract and dw results look identical (minus the line break). I copied the same code, and decreased the font size by 1px; then it fits perfectly well. That is why I surmise that the font-size is rounded up instead of rounded down, and it happens to break the line in this and similar instances. This has nothing to do with Extract and Photoshop basing their calculations on a base of 72ppi, in my opinion.
2) the ppi setting for images on the web has no bearing at all on how those images are displayed in a browser, whether mobile or desktop. An image at 512px x512px with a 1000ppi setting and the same image with a 1ppi setting display identical in any browser. The save for web function in Photoshop removes this type of meta data, btw.
3) for screen work ppi has no real relevance. PPI is more confusing than helpful at this point. As far as I am concerned we should be talking about pixel pitch, which is what device manufacturers tend to use anyway, and it would prevent all the confusion in regards to dpi and other ppi related myths. Also read on below, and read up on this confusing mess here:
Pixels Per Inch Awareness and CSS Px
4) with retina screens a block of four pixels is generally treated as if it were one pixel by designers/web devs. Saying a designer must export their graphics at 72ppi or 96ppi has no meaning: the actual resolution in pixels is important. When a Photoshop mockup is setup in 960px width, the ppi itself is completely irrelevant. A header image at 960px by 400px renders on both non-retina and retina screens as exactly that in a static layout. For retina screens ideally a version at twice that resolution is available for the best quality (especially for GUI work): in this case a retina screen no longers treats a block of four pixels as one, and will use the full resolution of the 2x image to render it. (Note: the actual pixel conversion depends on the device's screen ppi, of course.)
Saying a designer should export at 96ppi to prevent pixelation on retina screens is a half-truth at best: it has little to do with ppi, but rather with the actual pixel dimensions/resolution of an image. If a device such as a Nexus 7 with a 323ppi screen displays an image meant to display at 512x512px created for regular screens, it will look quite fuzzy and unsharp. Let's say this is a 72ppi version, and now create a 96ppi version: 683x683px. That version will still result in a fuzzy looking version for retina screens.
Ideally we would have to create a 2134 by 2134px image instead to cater for a screen like that. But this PPI setting is only viable for this particular device at 323ppi. And ppi as a measuring stick quickly becomes quite redundant anyway under these circumstances.
Such large imagery is generally avoided, because visually most of us would not be able to discern the difference between this and a two-up image on small screens. Bandwidth also plays an important role, of course, with such a large version congesting mobile traffic too much.
Thus, we tend to choose the middle-ground for photos: 1024px by 1024px (around 150ppi, give or take). A factor of two. For GUI work or very sharp illustrative artwork this may not work very well, however. In those cases a higher resolution version would become a requirement.
That is why anyone interested in exporting bitmap work from Photoshop should be using Generator: it makes it very simple to export a low res and 2x version of the artwork (and other versions with varying formats and sizes, if need be). Then we would use an image picturefill to decide which version to display depending on the screen/device type.
When fluid design come into play, a designer should create the non-retina version at the highest resolution that is required for the maximum width. In code this can then be set to a (max-)width of 100%, so that it accommodates the layout width automatically. For retina screens a 2x version again would work well.
Another option is to save a giant version at a very low jpg quality, which can work quite well, depending on the photo. And I have failed to mention the type of image formet in relation to the best compression algorithm - which would take as much text to write about ;-)
In a nutshell, over-generalizing the web export procedure without more quantification and qualification is to be avoided. For a certain category of graphics SVG would be the best option. For others still png 8 or 24 bit. A nice comparison writeup:
retina-revolutie-follow-up
Unfortunately in Dutch, but still quite interesting.
5) the save for web function is indeed in dire need of an update, that much is true. According to W3C standards, CSS2/3 work on the basis of a 96ppi standard, and SfW is still stuck in CSS1 times. On the other hand, ppi does nothing for images for the web, so... I would not say this is much of an issue in real practical sense, as I have explained above.
More importantly, it still does not even support 8bit png files with full transparency(!). This is unforgivable. Really, it is. Another reason to switch to Generator, which does support that option. But honestly, even Generator cannot compete with the likes of Color Quantizer for png optimization, and RIOT (Radical Image Optimization Tool) for jpg optimization. Avoid Save For Web for meaningful optimization, and instead either save out a full quality png file for later optimization in CQ or RIOT, or use Generator, and optimize those a second time in CQ or RIOT. Or other tools such as ImageOptim, PngCrush, and so on. Anything BUT SfW, which is sadly responsible for huge energy wastage across the net, because most designers have no inkling how bad it is in terms of image optimization.
Images extracted with that extract function should also be checked again for optimization, by the way.

OS X does not have that feature, but there are a couple of third-party utilities that will add it. For notebooks I'd recommend BetterTouchTool

New features in CC 2014

Kelbyone.com has put together a collection of videos pointing out the new features in all of the apps.
Sign up - it's free for this stuff - and you can click on the appropriate icon to jump to the tutorials you are interested in. You don't need to give them a real e-mail address. They don't verify it.
http://kelbyone.com/cc-resources

First of all, let's just hope Adobe fixes this issue in the next version. My workaround:
1. Turn on Snap to Grid and the Grid and using Guides create your own grid. Tedious work, but handles actually still snap to the intersection of Guides.
2. In the Preference panel, choose your Guides color to match the Grid color. This way you won't notice the difference.
3. Turn off the Grid but leave Snap to Grid on for easy anchor placement.
4. Name the layer you did this on 'Grid' or something. Do not lock this layer, otherwise this improvised 'handle snapping feature' won't work.
5. Create a new layer on top of your 'Grid' layer. This new layer will be the first layer to work on.
6. Save this file as a template to do your linework on.
Keep in mind that the 'Grid' layer isn't locked, so you could accidentally drag a Guide out of place...
Hope this helps!

Snapping not working for masked layers in Photoshop CC

I am working with multiple layers which have been masked and I am using a grid that has been set up with the guide layout options in Photoshop CC. What I have found is that the masked layers will not snap to guides. It is as if the snapping feature doesn't recognize the masked edge only the true edge of the layer ( which is not visible). This verified when I applied the layer mask to the layer and effectively deleted the non-visible part of the image, and then the "masked-now cropped" image would snap. Is there any way to get snapping to work with a masked layer?

As JJMack stated, the snap only works on the actual layer edges, not a masked area. One way to get around this is to make a duplicate of the layer you want to snap to a guide, apply the layer mask, link that layer with the original, then select only the layer without the mask to move it around and have it snap into place. After positioned, you can delete that layer and keep the masked layer. It's a bit a of a workaround, but it works.

Dreamweaver MX 2004 with Contribute CS3

Good Afternoon,
I have Adobe CS3 Web Premium edition, but a colleague located
interstate is using DreamWeaver MX 2004. I would like him to design
a dreamweaver template for use in Contribute CS3. Are there any
known compatibility issues with doing this, or any DreamWeaver CS3
features that we would maybe miss out on?
Thanks in advance!

I don't think this would be a problem, since you can
administer the site from within Contribute. The template souirce
code hasn't changed, so Contribute will find the templates and the
editable regions.
You could always decide to turn of the compatiblity in
dreamweaver if there are problems with the cheking in and out
system.

Can Dreamweaver do explicit SSL/TLS FTP Connections?

Hi,
I posted this before, but never got a clear answer. Then again, my question wasn't phrased very clearly.
I am currently unable to connect to our testing server via Dreamweaver (but can via CuteFTP) because :
"The FTP settings for the server are explicit SSL/TLS (sometimes called Auth/TLS) and port 500."
That's what the tech guy at the other end emailed me. So while I am able to specify the port via ":" prefix in the FTP host name, I am unable to find anything that allows me to select explicit SSL/TLS encryption. This is what's preventing me from connecting with Dreamweaver CS4.
Does anyone know of a way for me to connect via explicit SSL/TLS? Perhaps a Dreamweaver extension, even?
Thanks!

I just sent the following request in to the engineers.
*******Enhancement / FMR*********
I'm webmaster for a new client, and couldn't connect to their servers properly with Dreamweaver. When I asked their tech people on the other end why I'm having such difficulty, they wrote back :
"The FTP settings for the server are explicit SSL/TLS (sometimes called Auth/TLS) and port 500."
According to Adobe Forums community expert David Powers, "FTP is not the strongest of Dreamweaver's features. It supports Secure FTP (SFTP) and the IPv6 protocol, but not SSL. I suggest that you submit a feature request to Adobe through the official form."
Because of this, I will more than likely have to find other software than Dreamweaver to execute my tasks.
Please include the necessary encryption methods in a future update, or even an extension.
Thanks!

What DE/Wms support Aero Snap natively ?

I've always been a GNOME user, but like lots of users Iately I start feeling annoyed by some things in GNOME 3. So I'm starting testing other DEs, and I realize I'm really dependent on the window snap feature.
What DE/WMs support it out of the box ?

It bears mentioning that this feature is just a (very) basic approximation of what you get with a tiling window manager
I've used wmii for quite a few years now, and I was overjoyed when I saw the 'snap' feature in Windows 7 -- finally, I could be slightly less annoyed when using the workstations at the university!
...but it's still nothing compared to a tiling wm. I like knowing exactly where the next window will appear, and not having to spend any time dragging windows around
