DW CS5 Missing Related Files Problem

Hello
Hoping somebody may be able to help me with a missing related files problem in CS5. I've tried Adobe phone support but they couldn't solve the problem.
*Some* of my sites (but not all) are not showing all the files related to that page. My pages are typically in .asp vb server model and contain .asp virtual includes (header, nav etc) plus .js and .css linked files
However DW is only showing the .asp includes as related files and not css or js ones. In design view the CSS is displaying correctly, and all styles appear in the CSS inspector but not showing as a related file in the bar. In CS4 it works fine.
I've tried deleting the site and recreating it, copying the files to a new folder and setting up a fresh site, creating a new folder and downloading all files from the remote server but no joy. I've also tried refreshing related files. if I click on the filter in the bar it only shows the asp includes and nothing else.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated, this is a great feature when it works
Cheers

UPDATE:
Managed to solve this problem, this is a new issue to DW CS5, previous versions do not seem to exhibit this problem
It occurs when you use site root rather than document relative paths for js/css etc files AND don't have the remote site url (web url) specified in the site setup | local info dialog, or do not have it fully qualified with http://
ie. ../js/file.js works fine without a remote web url but /js/file.js does not show the related file in the bar unless a remote url is defined.
Hope that helps anyone else that encounters the same issue!

  • DW CS5 Dynamically related files could not be resolved

    I have used David Powers books over the years and always managed to get my php  working properly locally even though I had no idea really about all of the changes to the settings etc that he detailed in his books.  The thing is it all worked.
    So, now I have DW CS5 and the Xampp download to do everything for me and it sort of worked for a while but then it stopped with the "Dynamically-related files could not be resolved message" now always appearing for every site.
    I tried uninstalling Xampp and reinstalling it but that didn't work.  Xampp seems to be installed correctly when I go to localhost/xampp.
    When I go to localhost I get the 'Index of' / page listing all of my website folders.
    I'm using Win 7 64bit.

    DO NOT TAMPER with core word press files.  These pages get all their info from multiple server-side include files and content stored in the MySql database.  In short, there is no static content to edit in the core files.  WordPress is all dynamically populated by the server.
    The ONLY files you should be working with are inside the wp-content/themes folder.

  • Photoshop Cs5.1 / Scratch file problem

    Hello guys and gals of the adobe forum,
    I recently downloaded the trial version of adobe master cs5.5 collection. All applications are working fine without a problem. Except Photoshop... Both the 32 bit version and the 64 bit version !
    When i start both of them, i have something that tells me  " Photoshop couldn't find the scratch file. Couldn't create or locate it "
    Being upset with the matter, i searched on the internet in order to solve it. Some people out there seems to have the same problem  as me !
    The answer that was gave to them was the following : Press CTRL + ALT + SHIFT when photoshop boots so you can reset the settings. I did that, but the error still comes up when i press "ok" after deleting the settings
    Another suggestion was to press only CTRL + ALT, which would bring up a window to change the scratch file while photoshop was loading (actually, it's quite handy) But the problem is that... Well... Once i changed the scratch fille to another hard drive, photoshop DO starts, but once i quite photoshop, it gives me an error saying "couldn't find the preferences file. Couldn't save or locate the preference file. Your setting won't be saved"... Which lead to well, a photoshop that starts with the same previous error, until i change again the scratch file of photoshop manually when it loads... Which is annoying...
    Lemme explain the problem : My system is a new laptop ; the XPS 17 l702x of dell. I added a SSD as the boot device. Being expensive, i only bought a 40GB to boot windows and install a couple of applications, so that only something like 5 GB would be remained at the end of the process. The other drive is a normal drive of 500 GB.
    After reading a couple of articles on the internet, i coudl find out that it is because photoshop is trying to set the scratch file on the C drive, but obviously, since my configuration doesn't allow this, he keeps putting me this error. In overall, this is understandable.
    The part that left me curious is why can't he saves the preferences files once he quits ? I specificaly told him to save scratch files on the D drive, which he does when he start (with the ctrl + alt + shift method) , but when it quits, it cannot save that information on a 10 kb file, and in same time,  to not put the scratch file on the C drive... Weird since i have 5 GB of free space on it !
    This is where i am a nd this is where i'd like you guys to help me, if you can. Any bit of information will be highly appreciated ! I hope somebody answer as this will probably lead me to buy it or not. ( i will obviously not buy the master collection if it doesn't work on my computer ! )
    Thanks for any help in advance !

    If preferences don't get saved, it's usually a rather mundane permissions problem, so look into that. Alternatively move your user profiles to the platter drive by defining the system variable/ registry key/ group policies accordingly. This may, however require to reinstall some programs due to the changed path...

  • Missing Render Files / Problem Exporting Quicktime Movie

    Everything was going great on my 21 minute project.
    I had exported it to iDVD via a Quicktime movie and it looked great in widescreen format. It worked perfectly.
    Now, for whatever reason, when I load my project, I get a message saying the Render Files are missing. I am unable to locate them anywhere. I had them stored along with my project on an external firewire 400 drive.
    So I press "continue" without finding the missing files.
    Now when I export my movie, it appears 4:3 with gray vertical bars on the side!
    When I view the project on the canvas, it looks perfect as 16:9. Everything looks normal in FCE.
    Did a render file get corrupted or something? Is there a way to delete all the "old" render files and tell Final Cut Express to re-render my entire new project? Would that solve my problem?
    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    I did what you said and the "exported" file says:
    Kind: Final Cut Express Movie File
    Under More Info it says:
    720x480 Integer (Little Indian) Timecode
    Total Bit Rate: 30,313
    Why am I trying to export?
    Before I ran into trouble, I would export my FCE project using the Export Quicktime Movie command.
    I then used iDVD (set to 16:9) to burn to DVD.
    It worked perfectly before.
    But now, all of a sudden, the same project always shows up at 4:3, whether played in Quicktime or when burned to DVD using iDVD set to 16:9.
    The version of FCE is 4.0 and the version of Quicktime is 7.4.5
    Thank you again for trying to help me!

  • "Missing linked file" dialog will not dismiss

    Often, when I open an Illustrator file and I get the message "Could not find the linked file <bitmap file>..." The Replace/Ignore/Cancel buttons are unclickable, and there is absolutely nothing I can do but force quit Illustrator, losing all unsaved work. The keyboard commands Return, Command-period, and Escape have no effect, either. Has anyone else experienced this, and is there any way to dismiss the dialog that I haven't thought of?
    Illustrator CS6 on Mac OS 10.8.2

    Has your missing linked file problem been resolved?
    Try option clicking doc apps when  Illustrator appears to be the forground app  you cannot pull down menus and none of the tools work. In reality Illustrator looks to be the forground app, but is not, as the finder got corrupted and is somewhere in between apps, and you may for exampel be able to swithc tools in Illustrator but they have no effect.

  • Dreamweaver CS5 Slow to Open File... Enable Related Files

    Hello,
    I have a page that uses the Fancybox script and it takes Dreamweaver 50 seconds to open this page.
    This script requires jQuery, so in the head of my page I have this:
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.4.2.min.js"></script>
    If I comment that line out, the page opens immediately. Also, if I disable "Enable Related Files", the page opens immediately... neither option is a good one of course.
    It's my guess that dreamweaver is retrieving and parsing the remote jQuery file which is what is slowing things down. How to I stop dreamweaver from going after remote files???
    I was hoping setting "Discover Dynacially-Related Files" to "Disabled" would do the trick, but trying that has led me to another problem that I posted in a different topic which is that Dreamweaver won't save the selection for "Discover Dynamically-Related Files". That option always returns to "Manually".
    Any ideas how to stop dreamweaver from retrieving remote files?
    Thanks!
    Peter

    Im on a mac with CS5 and I have started getting an issue with one of my sites where it is slow to open the files. I tried following the steps in the article you attached here but I can not find that preference file at  /Users/Your User Name/Library/Preferences. In fact, I don't have a library under /users/my name.
    I can open files fine on a different site, but for some reason just this one is giving me trouble.

  • CS5 - Local Help Files missing

    While I was without internet recently, I was unable to browse local help files for Photoshop and Flash Catalyst in my new copy of Creative Suite 5
    - Design premium.
    I wa prompted to set preferences to browse offline help, and that did not working. Poking around in the actual folders showed me there were missing help files!
    Also, the help files I did have all had the word "DRAF" in red at the top! Pretty poor quality control!
    Where can I get the updated help files?

    i too have the same problem for my cs5 master collection.
    there are no help files
    the error says to reinstall the whole software.
    i tried reinstalling but the help files are still not there
    pls help

  • Can't Disable "Discover Dynamically-Related Files"! DW CS5

    Hello,
    In "Preferences -> General" there is an option for "Discover Dynamically-Related Files" for which the choices are Automatically, Manually, Disabled. Is anyone else having a problem setting the option to "Disabled"?? Everytime I set it to disabled, click OK, restart Dreamweaver, open preferences... it's set back to "Manually" again and I get the bar at the top of the code view window telling me "This page may have dynamically-related files....".
    I am however able to uncheck "Enable Related Files" entirely which will get saved after dreamweaver restarts.
    Any clues?
    DW CS5, Windows Vista
    Thanks!
    Peter

    Hi, I was also experiencing the same problem. I'm using DW CS5 on a Windows environment. The fact is that the software itself isn't modifiying the configuration in the registry. Obviously Adobe has to release an update to resolve this bug but, in the meantime, you can solve it by yourself modifying this key in the registry:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS5\General Preferences
    Change the KEY : Discover Dynamic Related Docs Method -> disabled
    Note: I've just done this and works for me, but I cannot assure you if tomorrow will behave as today... you know, AI , Adobe Intelligence ;-)

  • In firefox 4 RC, some addons installed suddenly disappear, but checking the profile, some of the missing addons related files are still here, how to make the addons back?

    I use firefox 4 form beta 9 to RC (zh) now and there are also firefox 3.6 installed in computer. One day when I open Fx 4 RC, some (actually a lot but not all) of the adoons just disappear. When I check on about:addons page, some addons installed do not appear in the list.
    The addons '''REMAINED''' including:
    * addons I already used in Fx 3.6 (like webmail notifie , xmarks)
    * ''addons only can use in Fx 4'' (like Open Web Apps for Firefox).
    The addons '''DISAPPEARED''' including:
    * addons I already used in Fx 3.6 (like yoono)
    * '' addons installed when using Fx 4'' (like updatescanner, Thumbnail Zoom).
    But when I check the profile(by Help > Troubleshooting Information>Open Containing Folder) , some (not sure is it all) of the missing addons related files are still here [lucky], so any one know how to make the missing addons back?
    Some more details:
    * This happened when i use RC for already a few days and keep on even i restart Fx and windows.
    * The bookmarks, history, search engine and even themes and icon setting are still here. [ I only sync bookmarks but not history for both xmarks and firefox sync.]
    * This addons are really '''disappeared''' but not disable only!
    * This number of addons missed, as i remember, at least 30, should be more than that number bacause some of them are installed but in disable mode.
    * I try to install back one of the addons - Stylish, the installed code are still here.
    * It is nearly an impossible mission to install every missing addons again, as it really kill my time.

    Delete the files extensions.* (extensions.rdf, extensions.cache, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox [[Profiles|profile folder]] to reset the extensions registry. New files will be created when required.
    See "Corrupt extension files": http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
    If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left side of the Search Bar to do a compatibility check.

  • Problem with getting Drupal "related files" to be discovered

    Why do I get this message when I try to see the related files in a drupal site?
    "Dynamically related files could not be resolved because your credentials don’t allow file activity on the server"
    I have set-up the site correctly for Dreamweaver and specified a testing server.
    Thanks in advance.
    Rob

    Hi David,
    Thanks for your reply!
    Yes I can see my site in Live View and I can actually see the related files but only for the index.php file.  For all other attemps I get the error message posted above.
    Unfortunately my trial version has just today expired so this will be a mute point.  During the trial period I contacted Adobe support several times but was told that there was no support for a trial version.  I was surprised and mentioned that unless I could get this to work I saw no point in upgrading from Web Premium CS4 to CS5.  All I was given was the programmed answer that no support was available unless I bought the upgrade.  Catch 22 apparently.
    I am interested in Drupal and other CMS frameworks because of my vision of the future and this was my primary reason for looking at the upgrade.  However I see little reason to upgrade if the actual CSM functioning is still in beta stability.
    I guess that, like Microsoft, Adobe is so successful that the company dosen't really care about present customers upgrading to the latest version.  My business must be very different since for some reason I value present long-time customers very highly and will actually try to help them use my new products so that they will want to buy them.  Oh well.
    Again, thank you for your response.

  • IWeb site update problem-app missing images/files, but site is ok

    I created and uploaded a web site to my .mac (yeah, MobileMe) and it displays just fine. I have visited it from a couple of different comps. The problem is that I want to add/update files/pages, but when I open iWeb, several of the images/audio files do not display: shows a x-through and a centered question mark. They are in the sites idisk folder and in the laptop's copy of the files. When I try to replace the missing images/files by dragging onto the iWeb drafting page the following message appears: "the file can't be used because you don't have access privileges, or because it contains no content or was corrupted."
    I'm afraid to make any updates for fear of losing what is already published.
    Extra info: have family pack and am switching between .mac accounts because iWeb published to the iDisk corresponding to the account/sub-account you are logged into (BIG pain in the ***! It should have a password protected account toggle like Panther used). I have double-checked that the files for this site are only in the one iDisk account (am redirecting my masked domain url to the .mac iDisk server-works great.
    Any ideas?

    The upgrade from '06 to '08 which changed the domain.sites to a domain.sites2 caused more confusion, disasters and lost web sites than the bug ridden introduction of '09.
    I ended up rebuilding all my sites from new, blank domain files in '08 and the conversion to '09 went OK apart from '09's nasty habit of changing media file links.
    Fortunately, I have very little QuickTime content and don't use the iWeb Photos, Albums Blog or Podcast templates.
    Most iWeb built sites look pretty awful when users stick to the default page width. I start from a Blank, Black or white page and trash everything on it.
    I use the "standard" 980 px page width and most, if not all, of the iWeb themes do not adapt to this.
    This is why I constantly ask the question. "Do the iWeb developers actually build any websites with the application?".
    Perhaps if they did, we would get more bug free releases and some of the features that "real life" users are requesting.

  • Event manager: relink missing file problem

    hello, lately I have been in this inmbattuto problems concerning the management of media and events, having worked on a project I was presented to the subsequent reopening of FCPX the classic yellow triangle on the event created by me:
    clicking with the right mouse button from the popup menu I click on 'relink media files':
    obviously missed that file is not in use it in the storyline it anywhere else in the project,
    FCPX is indicated by the file that is no longer able to identify, but there is one problem, this file does not exist anymore, and even if I click 'relink botton' to overwrite it with another updated file or similar I open this warning window:
    now I wonder ... how can I do to remove this 'error' event if I do not have the most files and at the same time does not allow me to replace it with another file similar?
    Is there a way to link the event to delete this? or edit the file. fcpevent? .... thanks for the reply

    It appears that your event may have become corrupt.
    You may want to take a look at Pro Maintenance Tools:
    Pro Maintenance Tools - Maintain, troubleshoot and optimize Final ...
    This may be able to repair your damaged event. I believe there is a functional trial version of the software.
    One other, more involved option, which I cannot test and is not without perils, is to try and export your event to XML and try to see how and where the nonexistant clip is mentioned there. Messing with XML may work, but is very likely to cause trouble. In the best case scenario you might be able to "fix" the XML, and reimport the fixed event, but this is not for the faint of heart.

  • Related files not showing in CS5

    In Dreamweaver CS4, files related to the source file (for example, source file: index.php, related file referenced in source file: index.css) are shown just below the source file name in the toolbar above code/design view, but related files are not shown in CS5. In CS5, clicking in the main menu "View" -> "Related Files" shows "(No Related Files)." but index.css is a related file. Was this an intended change in CS5 or am I not understanding what a related file is?

    Hi David,
    I've completely lost my Related Files toolbar. 
    And when I edit my stylesheet and click ENTER, I get the following error message: 
    "An unexpected error occurred while trying to read style-sheet information." 
    Please advise.

  • TS5179 I've been bitten by the "Missing MSVCR.dll file" problem when downloading the latest iTunes update (PC w/ Win-7 & Outlook-2007#. 'Have followed Apple's instructions of un-installing all Apple software, and re-installing it. #out of space...??)

    I've been bitten by the "Missing MSVCR.dll file" problem when downloading the latest iTunes update, 11.4.62 (on a PC w/ Win-7 & Outlook-2007#. 'Have followed Apple's instructions of un-installing all Apple software, and re-installing it (Ugh).  First result Outlook couldn't find my 1,385 item contact file in iCloud, although the outlook distribution lists were there.  Second result, upon installing iCloud again, I have two iCloud contact files shown in outlook - "iCloud" & iCloud, within iCloud".  1,332 & 1,385 contacts respectively. 
    Plus an iCloud installation error message saying iCloud moved 6,835 files to a "deleted items folder" somewhere.  This is NOT fun at 72-yrs old...!!
    So, how do I make sure I haven't lost anythying from Outlook?   Russ-AZ

    Interesting response, Kappy  -  Back to original post: "First result: Outlook couldn't find my 1,385 item contact file in iCloud, although the outlook distribution lists were there (therefore, initially I had lost my contact file from Outlook).  Second result, upon installing iCloud again, I now have two iCloud contact files shown in Outlook - "iCloud" & iCloud, within iCloud".  W/ 1,332 & 1,385 contacts respectively.  
    Plus an iCloud installation error message saying iCloud moved 6,835 files to a "deleted items folder" somewhere.  This is NOT fun at 72-yrs old...!!
    So, how do I make sure I haven't lost anythying from Outlook?   Russ-AZ"
    You can safely assume that I have tried using it!   So, to make things a little clearer:
         1)  I now have two iCloud "contacts files", w/ a different total count. What's the difference?  Why the different toatl count?
         2)  Since re-installing the Apple software (part of the MSVCR" recovery instructions) "couldn't possible affected Outlook", why am I getting an iCloud installation error message saying iCloud moved 6,835 files to a "deleted items folder" somewhere.  What's in those files? And where are they?
    Probably more important questions get down to:
         3)  Why is a basic Apple product upgrade "screwing-up Outlook"?  This iTunes upgrade, failing to install properly forced Outlook 2007 into a 2-min start-up cycle.  Which was fixed with this "Goat-Rpdeo" of re-installing MSVCR80.dll.
         4)  And under the latest release of iOS-7.0.4 on our iPhones, why is Apple now forcing us to use the iCloud to back-up our contacts, calendars & tasks, vs. allowing these files to be backed-up directly on our PC's via the USB cable?
    Thanks again for your interest and comments.  - Russ-AZ
