Fix Dreamweaver CS4 Color Eyedropper Bug

Dreamweaver locks up when using the eyedropper from the CSS
panel to select/match a color from any object in Design view.
Easiest to explain by describing a split view. Dreamweaver locks
every time -- when placing cursor in a background color code in a
style sheet, then going to the CSS panel and selecting the
background color swatch for that style, then with the eyedropper,
touching a color in the Design view part of the split screen.
Dreamweaver CS3 never locked up when performing these same
steps. Dreamweaver CS4, locks up whether selecting a color in a
bitmap or a CSS background color that is displayed in the Design
split view. Means I have to go to Fireworks to color match, and if
the color I want is in a range of a gradient, I have to make the
gradient a bitmap before selecting the spot with the eyedropper. I
even had some difficulty in Fireworks, as the selection wouldn't
show up in the color panel when I touched the bitmap with the
eyedropper. I could see the color code in the popup color selector
and clicked there for the color to show up in Fireworks' color
panel.
Kind of a hassle...would be nice to get an update fix for
this.

Dreamweaver CS4 Search Folder Bug (?)

Just curious if anyone else has this issue:
When doing a search and wanting to only focus on a specific folder within the root, I have to go one folder deeper to have Dreamweaver select the folder I actually want.
For example, if I want to search files within /root/main/ I have to actually select /root/main/subfolder/ to have Dreamweaver actually search the "main" folder.
Is this a bug or just how the search folder works?

CS4 - Color Correction Bug with MPG2 export

I just want to verify this is a bug others are seeing before I submit the bug report.
1. Create a new timeline of your choice, (size etc does not matter) Make sure "maximum bit depth" is selected.
2. Next, place a clip of your choice (HDV, AVCHD, or EX1) that has bright sceen in it so the IRE hits 110.
3. Place the Fast Color Correction or Three way color correction effect on the clip. Change somthing (like white balance or whatever)
4. Export the clip to MPG2 BlueRay. Any preset will do.
5. Now bring the just exported M2V clip back into the project and place it on the timeline. The max IRE value will be 100, not 110.
6. If you do step 4 but export the H264 BluRay, the IRE will stay at 110.
I was doing some CC and it was driving me crazy.

Bump. Has anyone seen this problem? Seems like a very comon workflow. CC a clip, then export the MPG2?

Fix for "color shift" bug

I have discovered the fix for the iPhoto color shift bug (at least with OS X 10.3.9). For those who tried the solution of renaming the Generic RGB Profile, this idea was heading down the right track, but ultimately is not the answer (nor did it even work for me).
When you import photos into iPhoto 5, it does not assign a color profile to the pictures. Then when you edit one using the internal editor and go to save it, iPhoto sees there is no embedded color profile and thus it automatically embeds the Generic RGB Profile, and if that is not the color profile you are using for your screen (and it most likely is not), you will then notice that the colors of your original image have been altered.
Before I tell you the simple solution to this, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you create a custom color profile for your Mac. You can use the included OS X one under System Preferences | Displays | Color | Calibrate, but I personally find this one difficult to use and it doesnt offer very good end results for me. The color profile creation program that works the best for me is SuperCal. This program is a little gem and after you use it, it will seem like someone gave you a brand new display. The program is free to download, but after seeing how well it works, I hope some of you will pay the $19 registration fee. On a side note, when creating your color profile, I suggest you use a gamma setting of 2.2 (not the default Mac setting of 1.8). This will make your screen match most scanners, digital cameras, printers, web images, photo labs, etc. (which are all based on sRGB which has a gamma setting of 2.2).
SuperCal can be downloaded here
http://www.bergdesign.com/supercal/
Okay, now youve created your calibrated color profile (lets call it SuperCal) so pictures will now be accurate on your screen. So now heres the fix for the color shift bug its really so simple. Go into Applications | Utilities | ColorSync Utility. Under the Preferences icon, change the RGB Default from Generic RGB Profile to your new SuperCal one. Voila! Thats all there is to it. Now when iPhoto saves an edited picture, it will embed your custom color profile. So what was once a hated annoyance now actually becomes a feature so that all of your saved pictures will perfectly match your screen.
Since the Mac is supposed to be the easiest to use computer around, Apple should fix this so that when you change the color profile for your display, OS X also changes it for file embedding, but as it stands it 10.3.9, you must change this in both places manually.

I appreciate the tip to use gamma 2.2. I'd been wondering about that.
However, as others have mentioned, tagging your photos with a monitor profile is not the way to go.
The othe thing is that under Tiger, ColorSync Utility does not have a preferences section. It only has a devices section.
It is as if iPhoto doesn't know about any profile attached to any picture, whether it's from a camera, scanner, or PhotoShop, and there seems to be no way to tell it which profile to use.
And even after replacing the Generic RGB profile with the same one the images are tagged (by renaming the other profile Generic RGB), iPhoto still displays the images with more saturation and somewhat darker.
This is on an Apple Studio 17" CRT very carefully calibrated with SuperCal.
So I have to come to the conclusion that others have in other threads -- if you're concerned about good color accuracy, don't edit the color balance of your images in iPhoto. Leave that to PhotoShop.

Css Tabs in Dreamweaver CS4 Workspace bug?/annoyance

Css Tabs in Dreamweaver CS4 Workspace. This is probably more
of an
annoyance than a bug.
When working with CSS, I use multiple CSS files and when I
make a change
to one, I hit save (CTRL S)but it doesn't save the CSS file I
was just
working on. In order to make it save that CSS file, I have to
click on
one of the others and then back to the one I was just working
on and
then hit save.
Kind of annoying, right?
I demand this to be fixed! ;)

Art,
I guess you didn't understand what I meant by "focus". Let me
try to
explain in terms of your recipe -- all you need is a slight
change in
workflow:
> 1. Open page with multiple style sheets applied
> 2. Have split screen
> 3. click on one style sheet and edit it anywhere. After
editing, the
> rounded box will be black and have an asterisk applied
At this point, the style sheet has "focus", so click Ctrl+S
now, before
you click back in Design View (which changes the "focus" back
to the
main document).
FYI, if you're clicking in Design View to update the
rendering, you can
hit F5 to update the main document rendering without giving
it "focus".
> 4. Click back to page in design view.
> 5. Click control save. It doesn't save the style sheet
that is
> highlighted and has an asterisk.
> 6. In order to save you must "save all" or click off
and then on
> to the style sheet.
Hope this helps,
Randy

Strange System Font in Dreamweaver. After I installed Dreamweaver CS4 on my Mac, it loaded this strange font as seen in the photo attached. Anyone know how to fix this? I have uninstalled/reinstalled many times. No prob w/ other CS4 programs.

Dreamweaver CS4 Code Coloring not updating

Hi,
Recently, when trying to edit the code coloring in Dreamweaver CS4, it will not update the colors after I hit "ok." Anyone know why this might be? I've tried restarting Dreamweaver, clearing the cache, and even seeing if it would work on new documents but none of that helps. Thanks for any help!
- Matt

Are you sure you're changing colors for you open document ?
I have issue with coloring too, but I thought after all this time CS5 will finally have Save option for exactly this issue. So I don't have to repeat this over and over again.

Dreamweaver CS4 attempted to free unallocated memory bug

Dreamweaver CS4 Mac version 10.0.0.4117 has a fatal bug. It is trying to free up unallocated memory. Most likely, it is trying to free the pointer twice, which ended up attempting to free memory that does not belong to it. This corrupts the system memory, and bring down Snow Leopard, causing the notorious freeze problem in Snow Leopard.
See the system log, right after Dreamweaver crashed, it corrupted the system memory, causing Safari to freeze right after that:

BUG!!! Dreamweaver CS4

This is a BAD BUG, but hopefully you save ALL of your work
prior to testing in Live View. Because if you have a JavaScript,
that you messed up and there is an endless loop, you have to FORCE
QUIT Dreamweaver CS4 (
) and lose the unsaved data since there is NO WAY to
end LIVE VIEW
Below is a sample of code to create the bug for yourself.
Note: You can see I threw the comment code in front of every
line so the message board wouldn't see it as a valid code. And then
launch the faulty code, causing anyone reading this message to
FORCE QUIT their browser.
//<script type = "text/javascript">
// //[CDATA[
// //Warning: this program has a deliberate
// // error! You will have to stop the browser
// // to end the loop.
// i = 0;
// j = 0;
// while (i < 10) {
// j++;
// alert(j);
// } // end while
// //]]>

Image Map Bug in Dreamweaver CS4

I've included a video sample of Dreamweaver's inability to
draw polygonal hotspots in Design view on an image map. The image
is inside an absolutely positioned div tag. After clicking the
first corner, the drawing tool is deactivated. A second click to
create the next corner point selects the underlying image.
In this video sample, I'm using Dreamweaver CS4 on a MacBook
Pro with a 2.4 GHz Intel processor and OS X 10.5.6. The image is
actually a transparent PNG. I'm very careful to click on an opaque
area, but that shouldn't make a difference.
The workaround is to open the image in a blank HTML file,
create the polygonal hotspots there and then copy and paste the
code back into the original HTML page. Adobe should really consider
fixing this.
The video can be viewed here:

Multiple Colored Links in Dreamweaver CS4??

Hi all, I have gone through a million articles and can't find the answer I'm looking for so hopefully someone here will help me.
I have an existing style sheet for my website, I know how to change the page preferences so that all the links can have the colors changed, but is there a way in dreamweaver cs4 to set certain links a:link a:hover ect to be specific colors from others using the existing stylesheet.
I just can't seem to get it. : /
Any help on this would be appreciated.

thank you for your reply
i do know how to set the links and such but i'm having trouble for example setting the active hover ect links for table A apart from table B in the same style sheet.   : /
i was trying something like
#table_a a:link {
     color: #333333;
#table_a a:hover {     color: #333333;
and then named the table id as table_a
yet it doesn't seem to be working, and when i did that i had to do it manually... is there not an easier way in dreamweaver cs4 to acomplish this?
i read page 3 http://projectseven.com/tutorials/css/pseudoclasses/page3.htm from that tutorial but the cs4 add rule doesn't look like the diagrams... : /

No Fix for Dreamweaver CS4 not loading?

I am seeing more and more recently that people are experiencing the crashing DW effect. Does anyone have a fix for this, or are we stuck until adobe finally corrects the issue? I have read tons of posts on here and other forums, but nothing seems to fix the problem. All I know, my DW worked fine for a very long time, and all of a sudden it no longer loads. When trying to start the program I get an immediate crash (doesn't let the program even get to the splash screen). Now this happens all the time, and I have tried every fix I have read about so far. I even formatted and started all over from scratch. I only installed adobe products after the format, and let the updater do its thing. Once I did this, DW started crashing all over again. This is definately a problem that needs to be corrected ASAP. I see a current download for CS5 to fix the crashing with that program, but nothing even remote to fixing CS4. Has anyone experience these problems after an adobe update?

Yes, I think it is the installer doing something as well. Here is what I did.... I have been using the download link from my account on adobe to install dreamweaver cs4. After numerous times of not working I tried install the new cs 5.5 and it works like a charm. After this I tried installing my old dw 8 and it also works like a charm. So, after 2 versions installed that work, I have come to the conclusion that the cs4 download from adobe has to be the problem. Once I figured this, I called support. Let me tell you, this was the most terrible experience ever. 3 and a half hours of numerous people connecting to me and transfering me back and forth to get no end result. I called again today (1 and a half more hours), another rep connects and does everything the others did to no solution once again. I say look 3 people, 2 supervisors and nothing is fixed, can you just give me another version (cs3, cs5, cs5.5, ANYTHING) so I can get back to work. Basically I am told they are going to escalate and I now have to wait for another call back and go through all the same steps as before. Adobe is seriously lacking in customer support or appreciation for buying these expensive products.
To break it down, 3 people connected...uninstalled, installed, deleted a ton of stuff, reinstalled, created a new user account disabled all start up services and installed dreamweaver and still isnt fixed. They have tried everything, and they cant fix it.... 2 of them even said the installer seems to not be doing something correctly, and the other tried to feed me a line of bull saying dreamweaver cs4 wasnt supporting vista 64??? I had to laugh and explain that I am running fw cs4 and acrobat pro 8 and flash and other progs that work just fine on vista 64 lol.

Is this the right replace to report a bug in dreamweaver CS4?

if so,
i have noticed that when using dreamweaver cs4
on windows vista business(build 6001) with multiple monitors
and dreamweaver is open on a screen that is not the primary screen
the tooltip box (that comes up when entering a function name and gives details on the parameters) that should appear above and right of the mouse location appears to stretch in the direction of the primary screen, and you cannot see the text that should be inside it.

Anyone know a fix?
Thanks,

The code is too long. Let's do it this way, did you change anything on the default css of the SPRY menu?
just my thought, why don't you remove it from the table? That might be the cause. Try to think of an alternative way like using divs and css.
