Dw CS4 property inspector maimed

I have my screen dpi set at 120, which apparently maims the
property
inspector in Dw CS4, see screen shot here
http://www.spinsister.nl/zandbak/propbar.htm
. It is particularly
awkward when pasting a URL in the link field.
I did not have this problem in Dw CS3. The property inspector
in my
Fireworks CS4 looks fine.
I noticed this first when using the CS4 DW beta and reported
it, hoping
Adobe would put it right in the final version. Since the
problem
persists I am beginning to wonder whether it is indeed a bug
or whether
it is me.
Can someone confirm?
Groet,
Adriana

CS4 Property Inspector - Restore defaults?

I seem to have putzed up my property inspector, and I'm not sure how I did it. See attached:
I have no idea what I did to make this happen, but my rectangle tool (which I use heavily) no longer affords me access to the "roundness" set of options. I've tried dragging the property inspector out of its spot, docking it elsewhere, I reset my user defaults for all of Fireworks, no luck. I can't for the life of me figure out what happened to it or how to reset it. Yes, I can work around it using the actual "rounded rectangle" shape rather than the rectangle tool, but that's beside the point.
If anyone has any idea what I've done to screw this up, and how to correct it, I'd be very grateful. I'm at a loss.

Yes it is a group. This "grouping" is what makes the corner radius feature possible.
If you try for example to use the subselection tool to edit the corner points, you are prompted by Fireworks to ungroup the rectangle. If you are not prompted to ungroup the rectangle it means it's already been ungrouped, intentionally or otherwise.

CS4 Property inspector

I have bitmaps that I brought in from the library as png files. When I select different objects/instances on the stage; I get different options on the Properties panel. One bitmap gives me additions options on the Properties panel and if I click on a different bitmap it only gives me the size and placement options. There is no other drop downs. I've already tried it on two different pc's. I need help now.

If your getting different properties the most likely cause is some may have been converted to symbols while others not. Either that or your selecting some objects on the main timeline, while others you may be selecting the objects timeline.

Property inspector cut off [was: CS4 help]

Hello all,
I just got a new computer with windows vista 64 bit. With this new computer, I got a new CS4 package. In dreamweaver, the properties pannel on the bottom of the screen cuts off and does not show all the stuff that it used to. For example, I can see the word Target, but there is not dropdown box for me to select which target I want to select. Is there a way to fix this so everything is viewable?
Thanks

Hmm - well, I can't. Too bad. Who would search for a Property inspector answer with CS4/help in their search phrase?

Lost buttons on property inspector in CS4

I was previously using Dreamweaver CS3. I am testing
Dreamweaver CS4 but I have noticed a few missing buttons on my
property inspector when dealing with regular text within a web
page. I do not see the align left, center, and right buttons.
Is there a way to add them to the property inspector so that
I can get to them faster?

The PI in CS4 is in two parts. Click the CSS button and you
will see =
the remainder of the buttons. CS4 now correctly uses CSS
values and not =
deprecated html tags.

Property inspector frozen

I'm trying out CS4 on Windows Vista and using the tutorials. I get stuck with the property inspector. It is faded out and won't allow me to do anything! There must be something that can be tweaked! What is it?

Solved the problem. Highlighting elements on the design page does not present the property inspector. Highlighting elements on the code page does.

Property Inspector overlaping

The Property Inspector in my DW CS4 'overlaps' some of the
fonts/text and drop down menus found on the Property Inspector,
making them somewhat difficult to read at times.
I suspect it has to do with screen configuration, but can't
figure out what is going on.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Looks like your OS is set to use large fonts.

Help! Can't paste into code view or property inspector

I'm experiencing a weird and extremely annoying bug in Dreamweaver CS6 -- I can't paste text from outside apps into DW's code view or into the property inspector (such as URLs).
Pasting doesn't work no matter the method: Ctrl + V, right-clicking or using the Edit menu. Pasting works normally in every other program. If I copy within Dreawmweaver, pasting works fine.
Does anyone have a solution for this? I'm running Win 8 and DW 12.1 through Creative Cloud. Searching the forums, I see others have reported the same issue. Some have been able to fix it by deleting the configuration file; that didn't fix the issue for me. I'd like to try reinstalling DW, but the Adobe Application Manager doesn't seem to allow that.
I began noticing this bug about two weeks ago. That might have been about the same time I updated to 12.1. Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Cory K.

Adding to my last post, I used a clipboard format inspector called nclip (http://code.google.com/p/nclip/) to see if I could find a pattern between "what works" and "what doesn't".
There are two cases where I'm seeing paste-into-Dreamweaver CS6 fail:
Paste into Code View fails, but Paste into Design View works!
Paste into either Code View or Design View fails
I went through the list of programs that worked and didn't worked, using nclip to show what clipboard formats were being saved from each working and non-working source. It appears that DreamWeaver CS6 as of January 9, 2013 doesn't accept the most basic text clipboard formats:
CF_UNICODETEXT
CF_TEXT
CF-OEMTEXT
CF_LOCALE
If these are the only clipboard formats used by an app (for example, Window's venerable Notepad.exe), Dreamweaver doesn't appear to handle them. Most programmer-style text editors output just these formats, because they are presumed to be understood any application that handles text. These fail for both pasting into codeview and design view.
Interestingly, Chrome browser fails the code view test, but it does work in design view! It outputs the four clipboard types above, plus one more:
Custom Format: HTML Format
Hypothesis 1: Any application that puts HTML Format on the clipboard will paste into design view, but not necessarily code view.
Next, Visual Studio 2010 and Sticky Notes, which doesn't include HTML Format as a clip type, works for both code view and design view. They both output this type in addition to the basics:
Custom Format: Rich Text Format
Two programs that output Rich Text Format without HTML Format are Sticky Notes and WordPad. These both work with Code View and Design View. From these limited tests on my system, it appears that for Dreamweaver to accept a text paste from an outside program into Code View, that program must output Rich Text Format to the clipboard. Otherwise, it fails. Dreamweaver will accept HTML Format, but only in Design View. Firefox is an exception in that it don't export Rich Text Format, but still works with Code View. It might use OLE, though (Chrome doesn't seem to use OLE, and it breaks in code view).
Hypothesis 2: Any application that puts Rich Text Format on the clipboard will paste into design view AND code view.
If Dreamweaver is really ignoring the basic text clipboard formats, and it's not just my system configuration, then this is a bug. Probably something that got overlooked in testing.
To reproduce on Dreamweaver 12.1 build 5966:
Try copy/pasting text from Notepad.exe into Dreamweaver Code View (DWCV). This fails for me.
Try copy/pasting text from WordPad.exe into DWCV. This works!
Try copy/pasting text from Internet Explorer 9 or Firefox into DWCV. This works!
Try copy/pasting text from Chrome. This fails to paste into Code View, but does paste into Design View
The Code View workaround:
Use Firefox or Internet Explorer for your browser if you're copy/pasting source code.
If you're working from another text editor, try copy/pasting into intermediate programs Sticky Notes or WordPad, then copy/paste from there into Dreamweaver.
So that is my experience on Windows 7 64-bit. Anyone else experiencing the same thing?

Property inspector not working correctly

The property inspector in CS3 is not working correctly. When
I select text or any other object the property inspector does not
change for that object. But when I right mouse click on the
selected object it does. Do I need to change a setting?
Thanks!

Yes, me too. I can't find an answer to this anywhere.
If I right-click or double-click on an item the property
inspector shows it, but if I single click, nothing happens. It's
bad for productivity.

Adding a custom field to the property inspector in JDev 10.1.3

Hello All
I have a requirement where i have to add some custom entries to the property inspector.Say if we choose a text field in html there will be some standard values in property inspector.Now i want to add my own custom entry always on selection of text field.
Or i am developing a custom editor and i always want property inspector to display some values on certain selections.
I already went through the code samples provided for jdev 10.1.3 but i couldnt find one for property inspcetor.I also went through the oracle.ide.* packages.Could someone provide me a class or method from where i can start ???
Thanks in advance !!!

I was able to find the ide.jar file which contains all the necessary oracle.ide.* class files.
I had another query....basically there are 2 kinds of packages of the form javax.ide.* and oracle.ide.*
So suppose im faced with the situation of say adding menu items and defining actions on them then i guess it can be done in 2 ways using classes in javax.ide or oracle.ide.Can you elaborate how i should choose between these 2 packages.
Is it if im using the <jdeveloper-hook> i shud use oracle.ide.* and the regular jsr 198 schema then the javax.ide.*
Kindly clarify !!!! Thanks in advance

Problem when I click the "browse to file" icon in the property inspector

Please somebody help me. I am having a problem with Dreamweaver. When ever I click on the "browse to file" icon in the property inspector, it opens up a full size window on top of the Dreamweaver screen that can't be resize. This problem just started. I have shut down my entire system and restarted it and I am still having the problem. Can someone please help me. Thank-you

When irregular things begin to happen in DW, it's usually caused by a corrupted cache file. Below you'll find details on how to delete it.

Dreamweaver Help | Set text properties in the Property inspector

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/using/set-text-properties-property-inspector.html

The note at the bottom of the first section (About formatting text (CSS versus HTML)) says -
"You can combine CSS and HTML 3.2 formatting within the same page. Formatting is applied in a hierarchical manner: HTML 3.2 formatting overrides formatting applied by external CSS style sheets, and CSS embedded in a document overrides external CSS."
Please be aware that embedded CSS will ONLY override external CSS if the external CSS link is closer to the tag than the embedded CSS (i.e., it comes earlier in the flow of the document). If the embedded CSS comes first in the flow of the document, it will be overridden by the external CSS instead.

Not able to change values in the Property Inspector

Hello!
Can some one please help me with this. I was working in
Director when I noticed that all of a sudden I wasn't able to
change the values in the property inspector, specifially the sprite
properties such as the x and y coordinates and the width and
height. I'll type in a value and then I will get an error sound and
it will revert to the previous value. How can I fix this??
Thanks!

Hi Ringerz,
I've seen the PI lock up sometimes. What usually works is to
switch to List Viw
Mode. Never have trouble there. Then, close Director and
reopen. Think it's jus a
bug that hasn't been fixed yet.

Property inspector not loading

Hi
Newbie question. I am reviewing a mapping and want to see the join criteria between two objects. I'm told it's displayed in the Property Inspector, but for some reason the Property Inspector wont load when I go to View > Property Inspector. Nothing happens! All the other toolbars etc load fine.
Would this be a security issue?
Cheers

Hi,
Your OWB design client layout would have been changed. Delete the OWB preferences from your client PC and restart the design center.
Path to the OWB preferences is as shown below:
c:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\OWB
You can delete the system* folder in this directory and restart the design center.

Property inspector not displaying properties

Trivial problem: DAK why DW8 (8.0.2) Property inspector
sometimes displays just "Div ID, Class and an Edit CSS button" when
within a DIV? When in Code view in a correctly functioning
page, most of the code will have detailed HTML properties displayed
as usual. But in one section - which has multiple nested DIVs with
some other HTML inside, Property inspector displays only the DIV
details instead of the other HTML details - as if it were still
inspecting the DIV tag itself instead of being within the DIV?
The page validates with no errors and the DIVs are closed
with </div> in the right places.

Yes, me too. I can't find an answer to this anywhere.
If I right-click or double-click on an item the property
inspector shows it, but if I single click, nothing happens. It's
bad for productivity.
