Files panel disappears when clicking Point-to-File icon Dreamweaver CC

I am trying to create a link using the Point-to-File technique.  Unfortunately, when I click on the Point-to-File icon the Files panel closes so I cannot click and drag from the icon to the file.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Jerry

I personally have never seen the behavior you describe (or heard of it in the forums in my time here) in any version of DW. I use DWCC daily and can't get it to do what you describe.
The Program Cache, when corrupt, can cause all kinds of weird issues with DW. Clearing it is just one step in the troubleshooting process and since the program creates a new version when it's started up, it's a pretty painless operation.
As for restoring preferences and the Edit > Preferences menu, I'm not sure where that came from. Did you not have a chance to take a look at the Restore Preferences link I posted above? If your preferences have become corrupt, it can also cause all kinds of strange behavior in DW. Restoring them to factory default is a bit more of a process than choosing a menu option, that process is explained in detail at this link (also posted above) Restore preferences | Dreamweaver CS4, CS5, CS5.5, CS6
If clearing the cache and restoring preferences doesn't fix the issue, a full reinstall using the cleaner tool available here will kill any corruptions in your program and give you a factory fresh installation of the program...

Beyond that, if the problem persists, I would try creating a new admin level user account on the computer to test whether your user account has somehow become corrupt and is causing some kind of conflict with DW.

    I have Mac OS10.4.11 with MS Office 2004 for Mac, installed. Yesterday, when clicking on the Entourage icon, in the dock, to receive my Email, the icon disappeared and I lost my Email service from the HD and from Spotlight, as well. Word, Excel and PP are still OK. Could this be a virus?

    Just thinking, if things are really missing...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Tiger Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."

    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

  • When clicking on the Finder icon in the dock the Main Menu grays out ... what's wrong ... how do I fix?

    Product: iMac, OS X 10.9.5 (13F34)
    Processor: 3.5 GHz Intel Core i7
    Memory: 32 GB 160 MHz DDr3
    Storage: 3.12 TB Fusion Drive
    PROBLEMS:
    1. When clicking on the Finder icon in the dock, the main menu grays out and the window with documents, applications etc., does not pop up.
    2. iMac is not showing up in iCloud.com and, not syncing with my MacBook Pro, iPad Mini and iPhone.
    This situation seemed to appear after doing updates on my iMac.
    TROUBLESHOOTING I'VE TRIED:
    1. rebooted,
    2. repaired permissions,
    3. booted in safe-mode and let the basic tests run then rebooted to normal mode. Afterwards, the problem seemed to be corrected, however, it re-appeared shortly thereafter and still exists.

    Go to the Finder's General preference pane and reset the New Finder windows show: option.  Try changing it to some other folder, try it and then back again.
    If that doesn't jump start it try moving the com.apple.finder.plist file from your Home/Library/Preferences folder to the Desktop, reboot and then reset the Finder preferences.
    For Mavericks and Yosemite go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:

  • Is it possible to trigger an event when clicking context menu trigger icon?

    When opening a context menu on a UI element, is it possible to trigger an event to handle, eg. set the lead selection for this context element to which the UI element is bound, when clicking the menu trigger icon ?

    First, these NW04s menus are not really context menus. They are static menus that are rendered within the view layout. Real context menus will come later.
    There is no "onMenuOpen" event for an application.

  • I updated my Itunes the other day and now, when clicking on the itunes icon, the program does not open?? I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, resetting the computer, checking permissions, running as adminstrator.. nothing is working?? Help!!

    I updated my Itunes the other day and now, when clicking on the itunes icon, the program does not open?? I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, resetting the computer, checking permissions, running as adminstrator.. nothing is working?? Help!!

    Amazing steps you've done so far! The great news is this is very unlikely an issue with your iPhone.
    I've run into a similar issue lately as well. I narrowed it down to one song that was causing 30 songs not to sync. I removed the song from the sync list (unchecked it) and all 29 songs were able to sync.
    You may be running into a similar issue. This may be a problem with this version of iTunes, an issue with one song or a group of songs; hard to know for sure. It's important to narrow down and isolate the cause. Most imporantly get that music back on there!
    The way to narrow down the casue add just a few songs at a time (even 1, just to get that first sync finished). Manually syncing is what you'll need here.
    Plug in your iPhone, on the Summary screen (shows a picture of your iPhone, the iOS version, Restore iPhone....; etc). Under the Options area at the bottom choose to Manually Manage Videos and Music then choose Apply in the lower right. The music that's on your iPhone now should be removed from your iPhone now. You're now able to sync music manually.
    The link below explains how to drag the songs from the iTunes library on the computer on to your iPhone which will start the sync. Add just one song just to see if you can get 1 of those hundreds of songs on there. If you can, awesome! Keep adding until you find the song or group of songs that are causing this issue.

  • A tool-switching panel disappears, when a dialog is displayed.

    We are currently developing the plug-in of Adobe Illustrator CS6.
    Our CS6 Plug-in displays a modal dialog in tool selection.
    Modal dialog appears when I change tools, and the tool-switching panel disappears.
    I do not want to display a modal dialog on changing tool.
    In the case of CS5, such a thing does not occur.
    Do you have any solution?

    After a bunch of grumbling, head-scratching, research, and experimentation, I identified a solution that works for us.
    The consistent condition for users with this problem was that they had Acrobat (any version, near as we can tell) installed.  The browser used the Acrobat print dialog to print .pdf, and that dialog is the one that doesn't work.  Those who had only Adobe Reader were OK, since its print dialog worked.
    The fix is to make the browser use Reader to process pdfs rather than Acrobat, and the Reader print dialog works great.
    In the cases where no Reader was installed (only Acrobat), we installed it, and the Reader install reconfigured the browser to use the Reader with pdfs, instead of Acrobat.  The Reader install also makes itself the default application for all the standard pdf file types.  We initially thought, where both Reader and Acrobat were already installed, we could just re-associate the files with Reader and that would also correct the browser behavior.  But the browser explicitly associates an application with a file type, and does not rely on the computer associations to make that determination.
    Unfortunately, we weren't able to figure out how to manually change that for IE 10 or 11.  Probably a registry hack for that, but we're not terribly interested in going there.  So, if the computer already had both Acrobat and Reader installed, we just removed and reinstalled Reader.  Presto, browser uses Reader and printing is fixed.
    Of course, the down side is that after a Reader install, double-clicking a pdf file will bring up Reader, not Acrobat.  We told Acrobat users to run Acrobat first and use File/Open, or to right-click the file and use Open with.  If they want to play around with the file associations themselves, well, that's up to them.
    TSN, thanks for the response.

  • When clicked on Yahoo weather icon, Safari default search changes to Yahoo search. Would there be a fix for this?

    Hi Apple,
       When I click on the Yahoo icon on weather app, it takes to safari as expected, but it changes the search engine to Yahoo (i have to go back to settings and change the search back to google). This for me is a usability issue. Do you have this issue in pipeline to be fixed?
    Thanks,
    Aditya

    I'm not getting that behaviour at all.  It looks a bit like it's changed to Yahoo because you get a Yahoo search box in the webpage and it says "Yahoo search results..." at the top, but the search box within Safari is still Google.

  • Icons occasionally disappear when clicked on with mouse

    The Case of the Disappearing Icons:
    From day one on my new iMac, icons of all types (folder, document, image, etc.) occasionally disappear either from the desktop or from an open folder. I can usually get the icon to reappear by doing the following:
    1) clicking on "Get Info" for the file;
    2) looking at the thumbnail of the lost icon (invariably the thumbnail in "Get Info" appears as a thumbnail of the icon used by the Macintosh HD);
    3) selecting the incorrect HD thumbnail in "Get Info" and then hitting the delete key. Bingo! The missing icon then reappears in its correct form both in "Get Info" and in its location within the folder or on the desktop.
    Alternatively, I can force-quit the Finder to correct the icons.
    However, when a custom icon or a photo thumbnail disappear, I cannot get them back using the procedures above -- they're gone for good.
    This is a continual and annoying problem; it happens maybe five times per day. It is unlikely to be a file conflict, because it began happening to my iMac right out of the box -- before I installed any of my apps. I did the usual stuff -- Disk First Aid, Repair Permissions -- no luck. Anybody else have this problem? Any of you Sherlocks out there know of an "elementary" solution?

    After double checking my code I have resolved the issue myself thanks

  • Dynamic text disappears when clicking bold button.

    Dear friends,
    I have dynamic text inside a movieclip, that I can make it rotate.
    the dynamic text properties are : anti-alias for anmations and I emdedded all characters.
    When I click on the bold button the the text disappears.
    bold_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.Click, on_bold);
    function on_bold(e:MouseEvent):void
         var my_format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
         my_format.bold = true;
         my_mc.my_txt.setTextFormat(my_format);
    How can I solve this problem.

    the easiest (and not very elegant way) is to add textfields that contain those fonts (and embed them).  you can remove your textfields from the display list or otherwise, make them not visible on-stage.

  • Front panel disappear when executing

    I have made a VI with some CAN functions. The application worked OK, but now suddenly a strange function has come.
    When executing my application, the front panel nearly disappear. The window is being minimized to a vertical bar and can then be maximized again.
    The only thing I have modified is that my Labview has been reigstred with licence. First I run a demo.
    Any suggestions?
    Test technican

    Hi,
    First, installing more drivers than you have hardware should not cause problems; I do it all the time....
    Your problems is (most likely..) either:
    1.  Your VI is corrupted, or
    2. There's something wrong with your LabVIEW installation
    If this problem only occurs running this application, then your VI is propably corrupted. 
    Maybe the easiest solution is if you contact National Instruments directly so we can look at the problem for you?  Your service request number in this case is 329222.

  • Is there a way to place a button on the front panel that when clicked gives a pop up dialog box with more info in it?

    Hi Everyone,
     The simulations that I am creating are very simple themselves but are intended for use in a classroom setting to help students learn more about the theory being demonstrated.  I am hoping to be able to place a "Help" or "more info" button on the front panel so that if a student wants more info about the theory they can click on it and a pop up appears with background info on it.  It should also have a second button to close it and return to the main front panel again.  Can anyone lead me in the right direction?
    Thank you!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Use an event structure on the main vi that when the button is clicked, launches a "Help" sub vi. Inside the sub vi (with the properties set to load front panel when called of course), use another event structure to wait for the button of the subVI to be clicked so you can return to the main VI. Do you need help with using event structures?

  • Top menu bar icons disappearing when clicking on Spotlight (wi-fi, date, user, spotlight) on Mountain Lion?

    Hi!
    Something very strange started happening. When I click the spotlight icon on the top bar, all system apps icons disappear and then reapear.
    I've also seen this happen without me clicking the spotlight icon.
    I'm using a iMac 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7 with 8 GB of RAM using Mountain Lion (10.8).
    Any idea of what this is?
    I've attached a screenshot:
    Thanks!
    Patricia

    Well, I self-answer.
    Following advices found on very old threads here (like this), I understood one possible cause could be some incompatibility of the extras in menu bar. I tried removing Bluetooth extra and also the volume controller (that I never use), and it seems, after a few days, the problem is no more present.
