Fw CS5 Properties Panel question

Can I control the way the PROPERTIES PANEL titles my internal pages in the pull down LINK menu? The problem is, by default, all my internal pages are named with their extensions capitalized, ex: ".HTML" (please see the attached .png)  I can not link to these pages when in "View Page/All Pages in Browser" mode until I manually change the link's extension to ".htm"  It took me several days, of mind-numbing searching and going over past tutorials/videos, to come to the realization that this was the cause of my inability to preview properly in a browser. I was never able to find info that discussed this problem.
I'm a newbie, so possibly I skipped a very important tip early in my learning process.
Please help - thanks

Thanks folks... I figured it out. The answer was in the OPTIONS side menu of the EXPORT menu.

  • CS5 properties panel - poor performance

    Hello,
    I have recently started to experience an issue in Fireworks CS5 where the properties panel is very slow to update.
    Once I have selected an object, I can select other objects of the same time with no delay. For example, from no selection, if I select a peice of text there is a 2-3 second delay while the properties panel updates to show the font type, size, leading, etc. Now if I select other text, the properties update accordingly, with no delay.
    If I change the selection to a bitmap, there is another 1-2 second delay while the properties panel updates again.
    All other panels and functions seem to be working correctly with no delay. Can anyone help with this issue?
    Thanks.

  • Properties Panel Question

    Hi, I really dislike the
    "Properties Panel" on the bottom of the DW UI. Is there a
    way to have it run vertical on the left of the UI or make it
    collapsible like all of the other panels?
    Thanks

  • CS5 properties panel interface

    is there any way to change the properties panel back to the way it was in CS3? i always keep my properties panel below my timeline at the bottom of my screen and now i have to scroll to see all the properties if i dock it there.

  • CS5 Timeline Panel Question.

    Seems I always have a few stray "timeline no sequence tabs" in my timeline panel whenever I start a new project. Anybody know the reason for that? Only a minor annoyance to x them out. But what might I be doing to cause this?
    TIA points will awarded.

    Right. I think this only affects new projects; if you were to open a project that only has one sequence after your project with six sequences, you'd get only one sequence tab. However, creating a new project would create a timeline panel with as many sequence tabs as were open in the previous project.
    Note that this also affects the Project Panel: if you open bins into tabs, you'll get much the same behavior. Drove me crazy the first time I saw it--my new project opened up with something like 8 Project Panel tabs!
    Thanks for the points. I think I'll redeem them for a milkshake.

  • Properties panel vanished and other new installation questions

    I have installed CC 2014 in a new computer including DW CC. When I open a file, the properties panel, normally at the bottom of the page is missing and I have been unsuccessful at restoring it, which leads to question one: How can I resetor the properties panel? Secondly, for most of the other programs I have found a way to move/copy/ preferences, etc. to the new computer. I have not found that for DW 2014. Can someone steer me in the right direction?
    Thanks in advance to those who know more than me,
    Joe

    Murray, the AHA moment!  Ctrl-F3 does the trick. I looked for properties in the Window menu previously but it did not show. Ctrl-F3 puts it back.
    Thanks a million!

  • Still can't dock Properties Panel at top in CS5

    While I'm pretty happy with the improvements to Fireworks CS5 what I'm most annoyed with what Adobe didn't fix: Allowing the Properties panel to dock to the top!
    This was something that you could do in CS3 and earlier, but was removed with the CS4 UI redesign, supposedly for suite consistency. I was hoping it would finally come back in CS5 but no luck.
    Seems ridiculous to allow the 900-pixel wide Properties panel to dock to the sides but not the top! Not to mention, most other CS products (except Dreamweaver) have similar Options or Property inspectors at the top...so if they're going for consistency, they should allow the Fireworks Properties panel to dock the top. And, yes, I wish I could I move the Dreamweaver Properties panel to the top as well.
    Thanks for letting me vent...submitting a feature request on this wasn't enough.

    What would be the advantage of docking it at the top? I cant find one myself.
    What kind of answer is that
    What is the advantage of having it docking at the bottom ?? Surely it's a matter of personal preference ? Why have it dock at all if you think it should always be at the bottom ?
    I've been using Fireworks for years and (for reasons I can't remember) have always had the Properties panel docked at the top.
    Now, after paying lots of money to upgrade to CS5, I really can't believe that it won't let me have the panels arranged like I want them !
    This may seem like a trivial issue, and I'm obviously not a normal user, but it's annoying me so much that I don't even want to use FW CS5

  • Workspace - Properties Panel

    .... but this is a very "newbie" question!! 
    I just downloaded the Dreamweaver CS5 (Trial) and am getting a "feel" for how it works. I've been using Frontage 2003 for years (don't laugh).
    I want to display a text-edit type toolbar on my workspace. I see there is a "Properties Panel" but it does not have all the commands I am use to, like; center-text, left-text ..... that sort of stuff.
    Is there a way to modify the Properties Panel to add commands, or is there a "Text Toolbar" that I can add to my workspace?
    Thanks for help!!

    Back in the day there used to be such option(s) but it really produced bad HTML code (not compliant with the latest HTML standards) so Adobe removed these "features" for the sake of better web development. Instead you should use CSS to style your document. If you're not very familiar with HTML and CSS, now is a great time. Dreamweaver really rewards those who are familiar with the underlying medium and can really punish those who don't.

  • Motion tweens from keyframe vs properties panel

    When motion tweening a grouped object in either Flash 8 or
    Flash CS3, I get different results depending on whether I use the
    keyframe or the properties panel to set the tween.
    If I right-click the first keyframe and select "Create Motion
    Tween," I get two graphic symbols named Tween 1 and Tween 2 in the
    library .
    If I select Motion from the Tween drop-down list in the
    Properties panel, I do not get those two graphic symbols in the
    library.
    Question #1: Which is the better way to create motion tweens
    -- using the keyframe or using the properties panel?
    Question #2: What other differences are there between
    creating a motion tween (or shape tween in CS3) between using the
    keyframe or using the properties panel?
    Ken Elder

    1) either is fine, however you should not try to tween
    multiple object at the same time, put them in a moveclip and tween
    the clip, or on separate layer and tween them individually. This is
    why the symbol shows up in the Library, because it's not quite the
    right way to do it, and Flash needs to make some things to try a
    keep it straight. The best way to tween is to use the Tween class
    and script the tween.
    2) no difference, they both fire the same method. Like using
    key shortcuts vs. the menu.

  • Properties panel still a major issue - so is overall CC interface

    Hi, I have just bought into the whole Adobe CC apps things after years of working with CS4, 5 and 5.5 and remaining compatible with most of my clients, few are taking the leap to CC right now.
    Anyways, I am extremely disappointed in the interface, and completely amazed that the Properties panel in Dreamweaver is still ridiculously underwhelming.
    Case in point, the URL field.
    Why has this field remained limited to just 30 characters when the Property panel extends the full width of the screen and is completely empty from the walfway mark over to the far right?
    Can't remember the last time I had such a simple URL it even fit in there, mostly dealing with enewsletters with externally-hosted content... need hard URLs that are lengthy, this limitation adds too much time to my work and is annoying beyond belief.
    In addition, all CC apps now leave a hideous solid background that covers all other apps, and the Finder, this to me is reverting back to 1998 standards, not Mac OS X standards at all.
    Are the recent Adobe CC apps all Windoze ports? The dialogue boxes look hideous, the progress bars, etc, etc. all hideous, nothing like the slick CS4 look that was a major improvement over previous versions.
    And in any dialogue box you have to tab through every single option in the dialogue box... what?
    I used to love Adobe apps, I use them daily, several hours a day. Now I just don't want to have to deal with them.
    Please Adobe, what happened? Tell me you're working on fixing these issues and making these apps usable again.
    Right now I'd rather become a manager and not have to look at InDesign, Illustrator, PhotoShop, Dreamweaver ever again.
    Thanks.

    Hi David, thanks for the Application Frame tip... although in InDesign [the app I use most] it is also in prefs which was confusing, isn't in DW's prefs, or Ilustrator's or PhotoShop's... but the interface colouring is... the inconsistency here is annoying. There are so many issues leftover from previous versions of these apps which I have pointed out to Adobe that it's disappointing, having "upgraded" to CC and not finding any real improvement. I remember when apps moved a full version they were exciting to use and explore, just not happening any more with so much room for improvement - I could understand if the apps had everything needed and were the absolute best possible... but not the case, truly disappointed, could have stayed with CS5.5. Thanks.
    PS - that form you pointed me to is the one I used to file the request - and they replied it wasn't a bug it was a feature request, even though the title of that forms states "Feature Request/Bug Report Form" Weird.

  • Defined rule not seen in Properties Panel

    I am a novice, using DW CS5, trying to learn the 1 column liquid, centered, header and footer layout provided.
    The following rule is seen in Code View, as well as in the CSS Panel:
    ul, ol, dl { /* Due to variations between browsers, it's best practices to zero padding and margin on lists. For consistency, you can either specify the amounts you want here, or on the list items (LI, DT, DD) they contain. Remember that what you do here will cascade to the .nav list unless you write a more specific selector. */
      padding: 0;
      margin: 0;
    However, this rule is not available in the Properties Panel, as are the others to apply, e.g. .content.
    I'm sure that the answer is simple, but it eludes me.
    Thanks,
    Sonny

    Exactly what do you mean by "not available" in the Properties panel?
    Are you looking at the HTML properties or CSS properties inspector?
    And what are you trying to do with the list elements?
    If you're trying to insert a list, use the HTML properties inspector and click on the bullet (unordered list) or numbered (ordered list) icon.

  • Properties panel doesn't show dimensions

    Usually when I create a rectangle I can see the dimensions and coordinates in the properties panel. However on my machine at work the dimensions and coordinates are not showing in the properties panel. I think someone has turned off a configuration but I don't know how to turn it on again. Please can someone help me with this because I need to measure a design. Thank you

    Good call. This question seems to come up regularly. You're viewing the "collapsed" version of the Properties Inspector. If you double-click the tab, or single-click the arrow in the upper-left corner, you'll see the full, "expanded" version, which includes the dimensions and coordinates that you're missing.

  • Properties panel

    Silly question, but how do I keep the properties panel from disappearing each time I use it? I just want it to stay available.

    Keep in mind that the Properties Inspector is context sensitive, and changes depending on your focus within the document window. Iif you are using CS4, you have the opportunity to see either the HTML or the CSS Properties Inspector via the buttons on the left side of the Properties Inspector.
    It should 'be there' persistently, but it will look different in different contexts. You may only see a grey bar labelled "Properties"; click on the bar and it opens the panel. If you are not seeing it at all, either closed or open, go to Window > Properties to bring it back.
    Investigate the workspace layout; become familiar with the interface. You'll be glad you did.

  • Xcesius properties panel not visible

    Hi Experts,
    I have a very basic question. I have been working on Xcelsius for quite some time and I have suddenly noticed that the properties panel in my xcelsius has disappeared. I have not made any upgrades.
    In the 'View' menu, I have the option 'Properties' checked. Is there anything else that I need to take care of.
    Thanks,
    Sreeni

    Check the size of the Properties window , I think u might reduse the size of the Properties window.

  • Symbol Properties panel not updating or refreshing

    Y'all,
    I'm running FW CS5 under Windows 7 Pro (64-bit), and my Symbol Properties panel has stopped updating when I select a symbol to modify. I have to close and re-open the Symbol Properties panel to force it to refresh.
    If I have the panel open and select a symbol on the page, the panel remains blank.
    If I have edited a symbol then deselected it, that symbol's properties remain visible in the Symbol Properties panel after the symbol is deselected.
    If I have edited a symbol then select another symbol, the first symbol's properties remain visible in the panel and it does not update to show the properties of the newly selected symbol.
    In all cases I must close and re-open the Symbol properties panel to force it to refresh and update.
    I've also noticed two other peculiar refresh problems lately - when the rulers are visible and I either zoom in / zoom out on the document or change the application window size, the top ruler often vanishes. I have to minimize then maximize the Fireworks application window to force a refresh and get the rulers to re-appear.
    Finally, the little document info boxes at the lower right corner of the canvas showing document size and zoom level often go blank or vanish when I either zoom in / zoom out on the document or change the application window size. I have to minimize then maximize the Fireworks application window to force a refresh and get the info boxes to re-appear.
    It seems that the problem may be related to some larger Fireworks screen refresh problem. It did not behave this way when first installed - it began happening recently, and the only thing that has changed was a minor update to all of the CS5 design tools (including FW) about the way that image metadata is handled.
    Is anyone else experiencing odd refresh errors? Is it possible that an extension could cause this?
    Any help and advice would be appreciated, because it has become really cumbersome to use component symbols.
    Thanks,
    Dave

    After digging around and looking at what has been updated or installed on my computer since these weird refresh problems began, I may have identified a possible cause.
    Adobe installs the Java runtime with the Creative Suite (I'm not sure why, but it's there), and a few weeks ago the 1.6.20 update installed itself, but it failed multiple times before installing, then Windows 7 informed me that a component was improperly installed with the incorrect privileges. Last night the 1.6.21 update installed itself without any errors, and this morning Fireworks seems to be working normally again.
    I'll keep monitoring FW for weird refresh problems, and if they return I'll post an update. It is possible that the 1.6.20 update broke something that was fixed by the 1.6.21 update.
    Can anyone tell me why the CS programs require Java and what it is used for?
    Thanks,
    Dave
