Enable Related Files Setting on Dreamweaver CC reset on restart.

Hello,
I am running Dreamweaver CC on OS X Mountain Lion and everytime I try to set Enable Related Files to false and Dreamweaver restarts, the setting is checked on again. I have uninstalled and reinstalled DW, I've fixed my disk permissions, I have deleted all Preferences and even Opened up the Adobe Dreamweaver CC Prefs file in my ~/Library/Preferences folder and tried to manually set line 236 to:
show related docs=FALSE
and on restart I see the value get reset to TRUE.
This is annoying as I hate this feature as it makes opening a file go slower than necessary. Please any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is definitely a bug. Thanks for noticing it and pointing it out. You shouldn't have to open up the Preferences file and edit anything - that in itself is a bug, forget it resetting back to 'TRUE' on restart.
Please file a bug report here: http://www.adobe.com/go/wish
In the meantime, I'll also forward this to the concerned Engineering/ Product team.

  • 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.

  • 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 ;-)

  • CFIncludes No Longer Displaying in Related Files Bar (CC on Mac)

    Hi All,
    I've recently updated to Dreamweaver CC and am having issues with related files no longer showing in the appropriate bar. My CSS & JS files all still appear, but my CFInclude files are not being linked. I have my preference set to Enable Related Files and I have Discover Dynamically-Related Files set to Automatically. I've also tried setting it to Manually but have seen no change.
    Any and all help is much appreciated. Its really causing a kink in my workflow now that its missing.
    Mac OS X 10.7.5

    Thank you,

    Almost all support for dynamic content was removed in DWCC. You need to install the Legacy Extension to get some of it back.

  • Reseting the Hashed Password after enabling Windows File Sharing

    Disclaimer: you'll need a good bit of knowledge about OS X, UNIX, and encryption to understand what I'm talking about.
    All right, so normally OS X hashes user passwords using a salted SHA1 encryption. It uses shadowing so that you can't obtain the actual hash value using "% nidump passwd".
    BUT, if you enable Windows File Sharing, all that changes. OS X re-hashes your password using the much less secure LANMAN encryption. This allows Windows machines to access your files. (LANMAN is what Windows used to encrypt passwords up through Windows ME. Later versions of Windows use NTLM instead, which is stronger.) This is why, the first time you enable Windows File Sharing, OS X warns you that enabling the feature will require your password to be stored in a less secure manner; it's downgrading the hash from SHA1 to LANMAN.
    My question is: I'm done sharing files with idiot Windows users - how do I force OS X to go back to storing my password using SHA1?
    Thanks guys.
    -Bryan

    Thanks biovizier. You're absolutely right, deleting the extra text after ";shadowHash;" and then reseting the password for the user's account does seem to force OS X to rehash the password using SHA1.
    Just in case someone else has this question in the future, here's how to verify that your password is hashed in SHA1:
    Log in as Root and open the /private/var/db/shadow/hash folder. You'll see files with long, weird names. You'll also see an XML file (with the extension *.state) for each of the files with long, weird names. The XML file contains several tags that tell OS X information about the hashed password - things like when it last logged on, when it was created, how many times login failed, etc.
    We're interested in the other files - the ones that don't end in ".state"
    To verify that SHA1 is being used, open the long, weird files in textedit. You should see something like this:
    000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

    The second Hashed value does not start with zeros. This hash value is not SHA1. It is the less secure encryption method required for compatability with Windows.
    If your hash file opens with zeros, you're using SHA1. Otherwise, follow Biovizier's procedure: Open NetInfo, select the user account whose password needs to be changed back to SHA1, look at the "authentication_authority" value, make sure the value is set to ;ShadowHash; and that no additional text follows that string, then reset the affected account's password. You can then log back in as root and re-check the hash files using textedit and you should find that the hash file opens with solid zeros instead of letters and numbers.
    Do NOT manually edit the hash files in textedit. One of those files is the hash for the Root password. If you change that hash file, your root password will no longer work (because when you type MYPASSWORD, OS X will hash that string and find that the hashed value no longer matches the stored hash value in /private/var/db/shadow/hash and OS X will therefore reject your password as incorrect) and you will quickly find yourself locked out of your computer for good.
    And finally, just in case you have the computing power of the NSA and are thinking about running the hashes I've listed here: A) They aren't the right length; I've left some characters out and B) I randomly substituted different alphanumerics in for the ones in my real hashes with no rhyme or reason.
    Which brings me to another point: NEVER post your hashes online. Yes, it takes a TON of computing power to break them, but still, they're hidden away for a reason!
    Anyway, I hope this helps other security buffs out there.
    I'm going to make a suggestion to Apple that OS 10.5 be changed so that when you unclick "windows file sharing" the OS immediately rehashes your password in SHA1 again.

  • Wordpress and dreamweaver... dynamicalled-related files cannot be discovered

    I want to edit my wordpress theme with dreamweaver cc. I have a wordpress set up through a remote server and the wordpress is set to the root directory. I connect dreamweaver to wordpress successfully but then when I try open the index.php I get the error “dynamicalled-related files cannot be discovered”. I have spent the last three days trawling tutorials etc and nothing seems to be working. I feel like there is definitely a solution I just need some help please

    Do you have a local testing server installed & running?
    Is WP installed inside your local testing server's default folder? 
         C:\wamp\www\WP\

    Have you defined your local Testing Server in DW, Site > Manage Sites?

  • How to deactivate Related Files in Dreamweaver CS4 (totally)

    Hello,
    how can I deactived the Related Files feature (not only the Bar).
    We work directly on the Server. We don't want Dreamweaver to donwload the related files and save them back!
    Our wish is that Dreamweaver CS4 save only the file we have open (without the related files).
    Axel Neswadba

    When you use "Save" with Related Files, whichever document (either the main document in the Design View, or the Related File in Code VIew) that has focus is saved.
    You can disable Related Files in the Preferences General Tab. You will need to shutdown and restart DW for the change to take efffect.

  • Dreamweaver Crashing when clicking any function not on the same page - related files disabled

    Whenever I click a PHP function that wasn't defined on the same file the entire application immediatly crashes. I've only found people mentioning crashing when dynamically-related files cannot be found, so I disabled that feature in the preferences. The application is still crashing. What other features do I need to disable to get dreamweaver to actually run and not try to take over my application.

    I don't utilize quite a few of the features that dreamweaver offers. I mainly use dreamweaver for FTP and code highlighting. I use the code tab 100%. All I'm doing is writing PHP in code view. If I click anywhere on the same line of the PHP function that isn't defined within the same ".php" file, the entire application crashes. I'm not sure what FF is. Firefox? Why would it matter what version of firefox I have?
    Because of this error I'm back to using notepad. I never expected dreamweaver to crash when using it as a text editor with code highlighting.
    Sorry that last part was a typo.  I think that I was thinking at first that it was crashing with a preview not in code view and I was thinking about browsers.
    What version of PHP is this that you are programming for?  And what I meant to say was what version of Dreamweaver and what OS?  And have you made sure all extensions are disabled and all updates are installed?

  • Dreamweaver templates and relative file paths

    It seems on occasion - especially with the embed tag - a
    relative file path in the dwt file becomes an absolute file path in
    the file it makes. The worst thing is that it doesnt happen
    consistently, Ive created 4 files from a template and now all of a
    sudden when i make a new one the path doesnt update. I'm also using

    Whe you spawn the child page from the template, you will see

    how to adjust the links so that they remain relative to the
    saved document.

  • Dreamweaver template file (.dwt) updates related files but not file time stamp

    I updated a bunch of dreamweaver template files, and allowed dreamweaver to update the affected files in the site.
    The file were all checked out, and they were updated.
    However, the timestamp of the files did not update.
    Now, when I synchronise with my server, it doesn't see these files as being "new".
    Any way I can get these to update the timestamp without manually finding and pushing all of them?
    Using Dreamweaver CS5 V. 11.0 Build 4993

    This is certainly an odd symptom, and one I have not heard of before.  If you just create a new 'dummy' child page from this template and leave it local (i.e., don't check it in), when you do an update does that timestamp change?

  • How do I find dynamically related files where Wordpress is not involved

    There are lots of posts about "Dynamically-related files could not be resolved because the site definition is not correct for this server" but they all seem to relate to Wordpress or other blogging software.
    I have recently had to upgrade from DW8 to DW CS5.5 running on Windows 7 64bit. and get this error on lots of pages but there is no help about fixing it.  The local testing server is localhost set up to run PHP with iis7 on virtual folders.
    What do I have to do to get the dynamically related files to be found?
    Thanks

    I think I've  cracked it - nothing to do with databases, that was a red
    herring.
    I had a hundred or so sites on an XP machine running Dreamweaver 8 and used
    the export facility to save their settings when I moved to a Windows 7
    system.  Win7's directory structure is different but the testing server
    location stored in the export file doesn't take account of this and part of
    the path may now include directories that are viewed as shortcuts.  Once the
    locations are reset in Win7 terms, the errors go away.

  • 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.

  • Keep getting error message about Dynamically-related files when trying to view in "Live" mode

The database connection test in this section goes through fine, but then when I go to view the final step, viewing comments.php in "Live View," I get an error across the top. I have played with it a bit, so the error message changes somewhat, but basically it tells me that I have dynamically-related files that can't be loaded. Currently, it is because they can't be resolved, previously, it was because they could not be discovered. (I tried the "Discover" option which failed, after which I resorted to the "Setup" option, in which I changed my root folder from htcdocs to htcsdocs/kitchengallery — where I had all my PHP and site files — and tried again to no avail. So then I changed the settings in MAMP to correspond with the change from htcdocs to htcdocs/kitchengallery. Still no luck).
    I am using Dreamweaver CS6.
    I'm not sure what information someone might need to help me dig deeper into this issue, but I'm all ears!

    Usually this is caused when antivirus "Grabs" the drive to scan it in the background, and/or windows itself "Grabs" the drive for indexing and things. It also happens if you play a song off the ipod thru iTUnes, then stop it.
    Usually rebooting will force it to let go

  • 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.

    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.

  • Dynamic-related files

    Hi since I've set Dreamweaver up on my new computer I have not been able to get my XAMPP Control Panel to work properly. because I'm still using the old computer I know I have to use a different Port, which I'm doing the XAMPP is on and running example below, but when I go to live view I keep getting this error: Dynamic-related files could not be resolved because the site definition is not correct for this server.
    Can someone help me with this please.

    Hi that was helpful, but it's not answered the question I'm still unable to view dynamically related files, even though XAMPP is running and I have done everything it says in the tutorial and everything is the same on this computer as the old one and it works on there the only difference is this Dreamweaver is CC and the old one was CS 6, I'm a little stumped on this one I've been working on it all day, I can see no Obvious reason why it's not working, I would love some help please.
    Thanks Jeff
