Files Not Updating in Local View for Co-worker

When I add a file (.html, .pdf, whatever) to our website's folder on our local server, I see it instantly in my Files window tab local view in Dreamweaver CS5 (Windows). 
But when my co-worker adds a file to that same folder, it does not come up in her Dreamweaver CS5 Files window tab local view on her computer, even after she clicks the Refresh icon.
Any ideas?
Thank you.

Some of the terminology Dreamweaver uses can make what you're saying a bit confusing, so I'm going to try to clarify so we can better understand the situation.
You and your coworker are each on your work computers using Dreamweaver. You have both created site definitions in Dreamweaver, pointing to a folder on your company's internal server.
The "Local Site Folder" setting of your site definition should be pointing to a location on your own computer. The same setting on your coworker's site definition in Dreamweaver should be pointing to a location on their computer.
This means that when you select "Local view" in the Files panel, it will only show files on your computer. Likewise, when your coworker does the same, it will only show files on their computer.
It is the "Server Folder" setting in the server settings on each of your computers that should be pointing to that folder on your company's internal server.
This means that when you select "Remote Server" (or "Testing Server" if you checked that box instead for the server in your site definition) in the Files panel, you will be viewing the files on your company's server.
In order to essentially share files between your copy of Dreamweaver and your coworker's, you need to "upload" (i.e. copy) files from your Local View to your Remote Server. Your coworker would then see these files by looking at Remote Server on their computer. And the reverse is true; they upload from Local View to Remote Server, and you would see the files by looking at the Remote Server view on your computer.
Hope this helps.

  • Many web files not appearing in local view in Dreamweaver 6

    I downloaded DW 6 yesterday as a trial version and have found that many, perhaps most, of my web files are not showing up in local view, making it impossible to use.  Going back to 5.5, all my files are still there.  I have more than one  web site and they are all affected by this.  I have many images in my image folders and in one folder, for example, they stop showing up in the 'C's - the rest of the alphabet is missing (they are all arranged by alphabetical file names).  I have tried refreshing but still no more files will show up.  Is there a limit on how many files DW6 will display?  I have to close the image folder in order to see any other folders for that site.  I'm using MAC OS 10.7.4

    Thanks for your reply.
    1. Yes, I am on a Mac using the latest operating system 10.7.4 (Lion).  I'm using a less than 2 year old iMac 27".  I have been using Dreamweaver for several years from about CS3  - before that I used Adobe GoLive.
    2. Yes, I installed the trial CS6 without any errors.  I have installed it twice now.
    3.  Yes, this is correct.  I have taken four screen shots for you to see.  The first one is one of my websites in CS 5.5.  The second is looking into the 'images' folder in CS 5.5.  The third shot is the same as the first shot but as seen in CS 6 and th fourth is the same as the second but as seen in CS 6.  You will see that the image files stop in the 'C's and the scroll bar is still close to the top so that nothing below the images folder will display when I scroll down beyond the bottom of the images folder.
    You can see some of the missing filenames from the second photo.  They are all jpg files in this case although html and pdf files are missing further down.
    The path to my local sites is ~user/Dropbox/Sites/sitename folder (I have three different folders for three different sites).
    1.
    2.

    I also found in the process of trying to upload these screen shots that you can't add images using Safari.  I had to use Chrome. The 'insert' button doesn't work in Safari.

  • Files not accessible from local view

    Hello,
    I recently got a new computer (iMac 11,3) and transferred all files from a backup drive. Since then, the local view in Dreamweaver's file panel does not display the files in my local root folder. The files are visible and accessible from the desktop. I can open them in Dreamweaver by dragging them onto the Dreamweaver icon, but I can't put them to the remote server (get and put commands are grayed out). I've edited the site settings, and defined a new site with a new local root folder, but still have the same problem. I'm using DW cs3. The old computer was an iMac G5, with a non-Intel processor. I hope that's not the problem.
    Thanks!

  • Incopy files not updating

    Having a problem with Incopy files not updating after designers on Indesign prepare packages on second round of revisions.
    First, the designers create an Indesign file and prepare a newly created Incopy package. The editors are able to open the package for the first time. Editors make changes then repackage for designers. Designer then open package from editors and make necessary changes and then repackage back to the editors. At this point, the editors receive a message to replace when opening package. The files open but it doesn't update all the changes that was originally made to it. It as if it is still using the original assignments from the first newly created package. Also, all the assignments have "?" in the assignment window in Incopy. We are unable to figure out how to update the "?" in Incopy or relink or what ever we need to do at this point.
    Several things we checked.
    1. Unstuffing the package contents from the designers shows all updated file dates. So we know the package contains the newest updated assignment files.
    2. If the designers rename the file names on all the assignments in the assignment folder, then repackage. The files open on Incopy with updated changes. But not if the file name remains the same. Also, if the assignment files are all renamed, it doesn't ask to replace anything on Incopy.
    At this point. Our only solution is to rename all the assignment files and repackage. But we shouldn't have to be doing this, especially since it adds time to the designers to repackage the files.
    Designers using Indesign CS 3 on Mac OS 10.6.4.
    Editors using Incopy CS 3 on PC Windows.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    When the InCopy user opens the assignment package for the first time, it unpacks (it's really like a .zip file) into a folder on their hard drive called InCopy Assignments. The folder is located in My Documents on a PC and in the Home > Documents folder on a Mac.
    Every unpacked InCopy assignment package goes into a subfolder within this InCopy Assignments parent folder. Each package's folder is named after the *assignment* name (not the name of the package itself, which is usually the same but not always). So if the assignment name is Chapter1.inca, then the subfolder name will be Chapter1.
    When the InCopy user repackages it for the designer, it packages a *copy* of this subfolder. This is the subfolder that Bob is suggesting they delete, after sending off the packaged InDesign file. That's a good idea.
    If you can't rely on your editors to do that ... many are very leery of throwing anything away ... then your designers should *rename the assignment* in their Assignments panel before creating an InCopy package for the second or third or whatever time. They can just double-click the assignment in the panel, the Assignment Options dialog box opens, and they can change the name from say "Chapter1" to "Chapter1-v2". They click okay, they choose Package for InCopy, and send it off.
    When the editor gets this file and double-clicks it, it unpacks into a different subfolder than before: Chapter1-v2, leaving the Chapter1 subfolder intact. So you avoid the prob of duplicate assignments on the InCopy user's hard drive.
    FWIW this was much more of a glitch with CS3. Not sure what Adobe did differently, but assignment packages are much more intelligent in CS4 and CS5.

  • DW File Names Not Visible in Local View?

    Hi, in Dreamweaver CS4 in the bottom right of the UI is the (Files > Local View) It shows a list of the files in you website. The files were appearing just fine but now all I can see is the DW icon for each file unless I hover over the file to see what it says. Before the whole file name was easily visible. I’ve never had this happen before.
    Anyone know what’s up with this and how I can fix this?

  • Css files not updating in localhost (XAMPP test server)

    I've got an issue with a web page I'm developing where the .css files that I attach to the pages will not update on my local host.  I can make a copy of the file with a different name and link it to the page.  However, if I name any file a name that I've already used then the CSS reverts to whatever was on the original documents.  This is making my php page testing a pain when I view the page in a browser.  The problem doesn't seem to occur for my other websites, and completely goes away when I select "none" in the testing server options.  I'm using XAMPP to run my localhost testing server.  I'm using Dreamweaver CS4 on a Vista machine.  Any ideas?  If nothing else it would be nice to know how to delete the old files that are stuck in the testing server directory.

    Strange thing...  I turned it off and walked away for a few hours.  Upon my return I found the issue resolved.  I blame the shoe elves.  Thanks, you little guys!

  • Essbase Audit Files not Updating

    Hi All,
    My Essbase Audit files are not updating....both .ALG and .ATX files.
    They used to update up to the last month but those are not updating.
    I checked the .cfg file and is okay with SAUDITR.

  • "file not on the local disk" warning when it absolutely is

    Using DreamweaverCC2014 for the first time. Working on an older MacPro running Yosemite.
    I define a new site, specifying the directory in which my site's files are stored. The site has a single page, called index.htm, in the root directory, which has a link to a CSS stylesheet named "main.css" in a directory called "_css." The CSS file is contained within the directory, and appears in the Files tab of Dreamweaver as expected. The link to the stylesheet is properly formed on the index.htm page.
    At the top left of the workspace, I see two buttons: one for "Source Code," which, when selected, displays the source code for the page I am working on. Next to it is a button that says "main.css," which SHOULD allow me to open up the CSS page and edit it. However, when I click this button, I get a caution icon, along with the message that says:
    "'main.css' is not on the local disk."
    Next to this is a link that says "Get," which I would assume, when clicked, would allow me to find and relink the stylesheet. However, such is not the case. Instead, I get an alert window that says:
    "'main.css is not in a defined site"
    When I look at the page in Live View, the styled sheet is not shown, rather just the unstyled sheet. Looking at it in a browser, however, does.
    The code is correct; I have checked an re-checked it. The files are all in place and show up as expected in the Files panel. Any thoughts on why Dreamweaver thinks this CSS file doesn't exist?

    As this issue was diminishing my confidence in using the software for a mission-critical project, I contacted Adobe technical support for assistance.
    This is a known issue.
    The problem has to do with DW getting "confused" if there is any other file in the site root disk that may have the same name. In my case, there was (I tend to name the CSS files for my sites with the terribly generic "main" designation). The rep suggested that I create an entirely new site root, put my file structure into that, and see if the problem resolves. I did two things:
    First, I installed a completely new installation of DWCC2014 on my MacPro laptop. No existing site files of any kind on that machine. I then created a new site, using a copy of my original troublesome site's file structure. So, with the exception of the fact that this is on a machine that has no other sites or files, I am repeating the test using the exact same files and folder structure. When I click the Source Code button, I see the HTML source code. And when I click the CSS button...the CSS file displays as expected!
    Next experiment...back to my desktop MacPro. I copy the files for the site onto a completely different hard drive from the one I was using in my earlier failed attempt to get this to work. Again, same files and structure, only difference is the physical location of the files on a different hard drive. HTML source code displays, and, when the CSS button is clicked, the CSS page also displays as expected. Problem solved!
    So, I hope that my experience (and the solution) is helpful in the event others encounter this same issue. Again, this is a known issue at Adobe, so chances are good one of you out there will have this problem. The solution is to place your files in a completely new site root apart from any other that might have similar file names, so as not to "confuse" DW.

  • Files not displaying in list view?

    I recently upgraded my MacPro (early 2008 8core) from Snow Leopard (10.6.8)  to Lion.
    At first i wanted to do a fresh install on my machine but soon realised it wasnt possible to import old accounts from another internal drive so i opted to upgrade the system instead.
    After doing so I was faced with an odd problem of files not displaying in my finder windows when switching through internal drives or changing from 'file view' to 'list view' or 'column view' etc...
    The attached screenshots were taken in sequence youll also note that the path bar & top window name dont update either.
    The relevant drives are in healthy condition with several tests run over them to ensure their healthy(Disk Utility & Drive Genius). I have also run permissions repair, and a utility to empty cahces etc (OnyX). From what i can see its possibly something to do with the Finder not updating or refreshing the window? The issue seems to be isolated to the drives however intermittently the problem exists deeper into the directory on 'TerraTank' Volume.
    The finder also crashes semi-frequently and the problem seems to dispaear for a while and revealing the contents of these volumes for a few mins.
    I have also checked activity monitor to see if any particular process was going haywire and all seemed relativly normal.
    Has anyone else experienced this problem?
    Regards,
    JP

    Onyx may be causing problems.  Don't use it on a non-backed up system, as cleaning caches may damage them, and make things not work.    Make sure your Spotlight indexes all drives you wish to be searchable.  Go to Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Spotlight and add each hard drive to the Privacy section, and then remove it again.  Then click on the Spotlight menu every half hour to see when it stops saying that it is indexing.  It might take a few hours.  But once done, it should be fixed.
