DW 8.02 on Mac bug - Browser preview prefences

Hi
Since updating to 8.0.2 DW lost its settings for browser
previews and asks
that I remove all and add them again.
When I attempt to add them again, I select say Firefox, set
it as primary
but it then does not appear in the list.
I have disabled all extensions and am running the latest osx
on a mac G5.
Please advise.
Thanks, J

Further to this, since the update, DW is not remembering
recent
documents....

Captivate 7 Browser Preview not working Mac Yosemite:

Since updating to Yosemite, my captivate 7 browser preview is not working. Simply shows the localhost url while displaying an Unable to connect warning in all browsers. Very little is mentioned about this issue on forums, and can find no solutions to this issue. Everything else seems to be working fine.

Try this solution. Looks like ensuring the hosts file is correct is the key
Re: captivate 8 will not preview

Unable to set browser preview options

I posted this a few days ago and didn't get any responses, so
am trying again in case I'll have better luck today. :-)
I hope someone can help because this problem, which suddenly
occured, is makign it impossible for me to do any work in
Dreamweaver and that's driving me crazy... :-0
Thanks!
I feel a bit silly about this - but for some reason I am
unable to set the browser preview options in my preferences. I'm
using Dreamweaver 8 on a Mac OX10.3.9, and trying to designate
Firefox 1.5 as my default primary browser, and Safari 1.3.2 &
IE5 as secondary options. When I first open Dreamweaver I get a
message saying 'Unable to read Preview in Browser Preference.
Please remove all browsers form the list and add them again". So I
remove them all and when I try to add them back, none of my choices
show up in the box. Then I restart and the old ones are still
there. If I try to change the check in the box that indicates
primary or secondary browsers, my program crashes. Anyone have a
clue what's going on? Thanks so much for any help...

This - file:///ether/Patricia Yenawine/images/oxblood_med.jpg
- tells me
that your local root folder is on a network shared drive. I
am guessing
that your problem stems from the fact that network
permissions/protocols are
interfering with your ability to successfully write your
cache files and
your browser preferences.
Do you have the same problem with sites that are truly local
to your
computer?

% Scale bug in Preview

i have been experiencing a bug in preview where changing the entry in SCALE (i.e. entering actual numbers into the "Scale" dialog does nothing). I if I enter 50 or 75 or 200 it does not matter as preview will simply print at - apparently it will simply print at whatever it opened with - which at the moment appears to be actual size. If I click on "Scale to Fit" the new percentage number will now be in the "Scale" dialog - the image will /now/ be at the Scale To Fit size, but again putting in differnt entries in the Scale dialog will not change anything.
this appears to either be a bug or something that has been corrupted on my system. can anyone confirm one way or another?
TIA

oh cripes. thank you matt!
this has bedeviled me for about two years during my move back to mac. glad i kept asking on this one despite some pushback...
thanks. awesome.

Solution to using Site Root with Sub-folders on Testing Server & Browser Previews

Hi Everyone
Have found an elegant solution when using Site Root relative linking for a website, that allows browser previews, even when the testing server uses sub-folders and the live code references just the server site root " / " of the live server and not the sub-folder structure of the testing server. This is really useful when you don't want to use document relative linking, which normally takes care of this problem in Dreamweaver.
The solution is to use sub-domains referencing the sub-folders on the testing server, so the sub-folders appear as the root of each website and the html code pointing to the site root works correctly on both testing & live servers without alteration.
Testing Server Setup
One testing server domain is used for all client development work:
For example: www.testingserver.com
On the testing server there are multiple sub-folder (one for each client website being developed):
For example: www.testingserver.com/clientA/ , www.testingserver.com/clientB/ , www.testingserver.com/clientC/
Live Server Setup
The site code needs to be developed with the final live server folder structure (url references) in mind:
For example: www.livesite.com (with all pages referencing the root of the live site server)
Page URLs on Testing & Live Servers
/page-name.html
Testing server url: www.testingserver.com/clientA/page-name.html
Live server url: www.livesite.com/page-name.html (without /clientA/ sub-folder)
Browser Previews Don't Work
You want to be able to run browser previews on the testing server while developing the website. To do this you normally have to reference the sub-folder structure of the testing server in the url for things to work right:
For example www.testingserver.com/clientA/page-name.html
What do you do, when you can't keep switching all the urls in the code from pointing to the sub-folder to pointing to the site root, and you don't want to use document relative linking?
One Solution - Sub-domains on Testing Server
In your domain hosting (outside of Dreamweaver) setup a sub-domain to point to the testing server sub-folder.
For example: Sub-domain clientA.testingserver.com points to www.testingserver.com/clientA (sub-folder)
So now when you reference the sub-domain it sees the sub-folder as the site root and all your problems are solved.
Dreamweaver Site Definition Setup
Site Definition under "Local Info"
Links relative to: Site Root
Site Definition under "Remote Info" (live server)
Access: FTP
FTP host: ftp.livesite.com
Host directory: /
Site Definition under "Testing Server"
Access: FTP
FTP host: clientA.testingserver.com
Host directory: /
URL prefix: http://clientA.testingserver.com
(location of the site's root folder on the testing server, the sub-domain redirection takes care of pointing to the sub-folder)
This is just one solution but it works well for me as it doesn't have any cost associated with it under our hosting package where you can have multiple sub-domains setup.
Hope this helps someone in a similar situation.

Just Google it, or run out and buy a copy of David Powers' Foundations Dreamweaver CS4 with CSS, Ajax and PHP, a book that is never out of reach for me. He details the process explicitly for both Mac and PC.
For me, on W7, I edit the C:/Windows/System32/drivers/etc/hosts file, and add the ip of my testing server along with the site alias -
192.168.1.82 site.local
Then I add this same designation to my httpd.conf file in Apache on the testing server. Finally I restart Apache.
Now from my production machine if I browse to "http://site.local", I get to see either the default file in the root of the site on the testing server, or a directory of the site on the testing server (my testing server is a unix box running on my LAN at that ip address). Furthermore, all of my root relative links now work as they would if the pages were being browsed from the live server.

Setting Browser Preview Preferences

I feel a bit silly about this - but for some reason I am
unable to set the browser preview options in my preferences. I'm
using Dreamweaver 8 on a Mac OX10.3.9, and trying to designate
Firefox 1.5 as my default primary browser, and Safari 1.3.2 &
IE5 as secondary options. When I first open Dreamweaver I get a
message saying 'Unable to read Preview in Browser Preference.
Please remove all browsers form the list and add them again". So I
remove them all and when I try to add them back, none of my choices
show up in the box. Then I restart and the old ones are still
there. If I try to change the check in the box that indicates
primary or secondary browsers, my program crashes. Anyone have a
clue what's going on? Thanks so much for any help...

Same thing just happened to me, DW 2004 mx on Mac ox 10.4.10.
"When I first open Dreamweaver I get a message saying 'Unable

Any suggestions? Trash preferences? Reload? I also tried a
restart with an unplug for good measure, no dice. Thanks!

Possible BUG on preview found?

Hello,
i believe to have found a bug on Preview. The thread is here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6222144#6222144
it seems that Preview use a generic rgb profile when open a srgb profile picture but there are no problems when it open an adobe profile pictures which recognise fine. I'd like to contact Apple support to report this but i can't find an online form to do it. Any help? Thanks.

If you want to report this to Apple, send a bug report (or enhancement request) via its Bug Reporter system. Join the Apple Developer Connection (ADC)—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. Since you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report/enhancement request. You'll get a get a Bug ID number; thus, starting a dialog directly with engineering.

After upgrading to mavericks, i cannot open mac app store, preview, calendar, etc

Why i cannot open mac app store, preview, calendar, software update, etc after upgrading to mavericks? How can i fix this? please help me

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Browser preview menu bar navigation problems

Hey everyone I have a very strange problem that I honestly have no idea at all how to handle.
Below is a template I've put together. It's for a pump repair business site (to provide clarity on any content).
Everything was going smoothly, until I previewed it in the browser (using Firefox and Chrome). I can jump from page to page about twice, but, after that, especially when I try to return to the home page, I recieve an error like this:
' No webpage was found for the web address:file:///C:/Users/John/Desktop/Design/Merit%20Pump%20Website/MeritPump_Template.dwt '
And I am also not able to access my submenus in the browser preview, and inevitably NOTHING will work after the first few jumps between pages.
My code is below. Thank you so much for any help- this is my last major roadblock before I am able to publish.

Hi!

1.1 Suspicious are always these strings starting with file:///, what means, "DW thinks that every file you have linked to is outside the local root folder":
1.2. Don't use spaces in folders/filenames. Spaces get converted %20, you could use underscores eg.

Mavericks editing bug in Preview

Have just encountered a nasty bug in Preview.
When you try to crop an image and adjust the position of crop bars the whole image starts jiggling making it impossible to accurately position the crop point.
Anyone else encountered this?
I made a screen movie of it & wanted to post it but the movie option is grayed out so I can't.

Hi sir,
Do your try it on Azure manage portal (https://manage.windowsazure.com )? Azure preview portal currently is preview version and no support approach. So you can confirm this issue on manage portal. If it always
has this error, please feel free to let me know.

Bug in Preview's Exif viewer (inverted GPS coordinates)?

Hi,
I've been scratching my head quite a lot over this one...
I'm finalizing an application that gets your GPS coordinates off your Google Latitude history and uses them to geotag your pictures. The idea is to make it easier to use the "Places" functionality of iPhoto, Picasa, etc...
Anyway, I cannot explain why Preview seems to display an incorrect longitude (it drops the "-" sign which places a California picture somewhere in China...) when Exiftool, Picasa and, yes, even iPhoto seem to get it right.
I know some of you will probably think I'm looking at 2 different pictures (I probably would think the same if I were you) but I've double, triple checked. In fact a simple "Show in finder" from iPhoto or Picasa will bring up the picture for me to double-click.
Anyway, see for yourself:
The picture in question
Exiftool
in iPhoto
in Picasa
in Preview
Any feedback appreciated.

However, that would not explainwhy the very complete exiftool output is spotless (as far as I can tell). IPhoto and Picasa also get it right...
That's all well and good. But even if you have smoking-gun evidence that there is a bug in Preview (and it isn't a show-stopping bug either), it will be months, if not years until said bug is fixed. Until then, your output will not work in Preview. So, in any case, you are going to have to modify your code to produce output that Preview can read. Other applications are able to produce such files that Preview can understand. What is the difference?
My advice is to continue working with other tools to generate identical files with identical tags. Then find the difference in output between the other tool and yours. That should identify where the bug lies.

Font in Design View different from font in Live View and browser preview

My external style sheet has the body set for a sans-serif font and there is nothing to contradict it in the HTML documents. But while I get sans-serif in the Design View (as you would expect), I get a serif font in Live View and Browser Preview, not to mention on the Web itself.
How is this possible (and what should I do about it)?
--Paul

Murray and David: it worked! It is a rare and joyous experience to have a straightforward solution to the sorts of problems I come up with (including other realms). But I have to say that with HTML and CSS (and hence with Dreamweaver), solutions to difficulties have seemed within easier reach than in other parts of the computer world.
By the way, I wanted to choose "correct answer" for both your posts, but after making the first click it was no longer available for the remaining post--so I typed "helpful" even though that one was correct too.
Thanks again.

Pasted lightboxes do not show when uploaded but do on browser preview

I created the lightbox display on the first page and then as i worked from page to page i would paste the original lightbox to the new page and replace the images and the captions but when i upload the site it doesn't show the lightboxes on the pages that i pasted the lightbox into it is just blank but the headers and footers are ok. The lightbox shows in the browser preview with all the images and captions.
all the images are there in the assets folder

Search the knowledge base for NET Red X and try out the solutions there. If you are using .NET 2005 make sure to focus on the ones for it first. It is usually either a web.config setting or not having the asp_client folder in the correct place.

CS 4 browser preview

In DW CS3, pages with includes render properly in browser
preview. Not so when previewed in DW CS4. Includes part doesn't
render in preview or live view. Am I missing something?

Thanks for the suggestions but alas no luck.
I have updated Windows XP SP3 with all current updates.
I have downloaded and updated the Nvidia GeforceFX5500 drivers (which were the ones I was using)
I updated direct x to the latest version.
OpenGL is not available or I don't know how to configure it. Noticed this was greyed out in Photoshop and unable to select it.
Also captured new footage with CS4 without success after it was conformed as suggested.
I have no issues with CS2 which I have put back on the machine.
Neither the source or preview windows display video footage with cs2 captured files, cs4 captured files, imported avi files. But, noticed that if I created titles and imposed over static images they will display in the preview window but once it gets to captured footage it stops on the last frame of the title image. The audio continues but the video does not.

Browser preview of image

For an unknown reason, before I save an image for the web, I commonly preview the image in a browser. Now it seems to be applying the image as a tiled background image in browser preview. Where can I change this setting?

what did you do to resolve this? i am having the same problem plus the image details/specs is now showing on top covering the top part of the image and not the bottom of the image where it used to.
