How to make DW see Templates and Library items

Question

I imported a site from another computer. Now it cannot see templates as templates or library items as library items. I am downloading the files from the server. The templates folder is there, but they are not showing up in the assets panel. They are also not updating when I save them.
How do I make DW see the templates and library items? It is a large site and I really don't want to have to recreate everything.

Answer 1

I just had this problem and this is how I solved it:
1. Create a brand new template (can be empty) and save it
2. See where dreamweaver puts it in the files panel(more than likely will create a new template folder)
3. Completely move all templates from your previous template folder to the new one DW just created.
4. Voila - now check you templates under assets.
Caution:
1. First only copy one template to the new folder and check assets to test this theory before deleting the ones in the previous folder (if it works do be sure to delete the others)
2. To tell if a template actually works, select it then hit delete, if it simply warns you this can't be undone the template is NO GOOD. If it gives you  a  list of links you will destroy THAT'S THE ONE YOU WANT TO KEEP.  The templates in the new folder should give you a list of links, any templates any where else will just give you a regular delete/warning message.
Hope this solution works for you, I'm just trying to help.
