Issue expanding SIT files on MS Windows

Some MS Windows users may be unable to decompress SIT files. Please post files as SITX or ZIP instead; and repost any existing SIT files as SITX or ZIP.

  • DW CS5 "Get" bug in expanded site files view

    Hi,
    I just installed the CS5 Design Premium trial and have been playing with Dreamweaver. Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing the following issue...
    When in expanded site files view (showing both local and remote), selecting a file on the REMOTE site and trying to "Get" the file does not download the remote file. It instead tries to retrieve the remote copy of the file(s) selected in the LOCAL file list pane.
    If no file is selected on the local file list, pressing "Get" after selecting a REMOTE file from the list brings up the "Are you sure you wish to get the entire site" dialog.
    Steps to reproduce:
    1. Open expanded site files view (local and remote)
    2. Click on a file in the remote file list. For testing purposes, click on a file in the LOCAL list first, then select a remote file
    3. Click the Get button or right click on the remote file and choose Get.
    DW should download the selected REMOTE file if that was the last selected file prior to executing the Get command. (this is the action that DW CS3/CS4 does)
    I have submitted this bug in the official Adobe bug reporting system, but I'm curious as to whether others can reproduce this bug.
    Thanks

    @Murray, I think I have discovered exactly where the bug lies and how you may be able to reproduce it yourself...
    @quantumlight - do you happen to have your Site Files panel UNDOCKED and in its own floating panel??
    I work with Dreamweaver on a dual/multi monitor setup. I have my split design/code view on one screen, and the site files and code inspector on a DETACHED Files panel on the 2nd monitor.
    I did a full DW prefences reset and everything went back to the factory setting, with the Files panel docked to the right hand side of the DW program window. With it docked, I opened the expanded/split site files view and IT WORKED NORMALLY as is expected.
    However, as soon as I UNDOCKED the Files panel into its own floating panel and expanded the file view, the bug appeared and selecting a REMOTE FILE and pressing Get, asked to either download a copy of the selected LOCAL file, or if no local file is selected it asks "Are you sure you want to get the entire site"
    Redocking the Files panel back to its original position makes the bug disappear.
    I have tested this on two Windows 7 machines and one Mac Snow Leopard machine, both with the CS5 11.0.2 updates installed.
    It seems it's a Windows version only bug as both Win7 machines produced the bug, with the Mac machine NOT presenting the bug in either docked or floating panel state.
    Hopefully the Adobe DW guys see this soon and can work on fixing this bug in the next update.
    Do you think i should re-submit my previous bug report with this updated discovery?

  • Stuffit Will Not "Expand" .sit Files

    Please help. Every time I double-click a ".sit" file (or, select Stuffit from the "open with" menu item), a small windows opens for less than a second, then closes. Nothing else happens. I can't tell what the window is because it only flashes on the desktop.
    I am experiencing no other problems on my PM. I have deleted all the Stuffit files I could find using Spotlight; Repaired Disk Permissions and Repaired Disk (no problems found in either); re-booted, and re-downloaded and re-installed Stuffit Expander -- but, I get the exact same results.
    It must be something simple that I am overlooking, as I am fairly new to the Mac world. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    maclover - thanks again for the response. What does "you could have a trawl here" mean?
    I went to the support link you provided and followed the instructions (even though it appears the problem described in this link is for when Stuffit crashes upon opening - Stuffit opens fine for me, but crashes upon attempting to expand a file). Anyway, I turned off "version checking" in Stuffit (I was able to do that without going through all the steps...all my other settings were as described), but the results are still the same: Stuffit crashes the moment it tries to expand a ".sit" file. More suggestions?

  • Issue with font files on japanese Windows 8 OS

    We are currently facing an issue with the fonts on japanese Windows 8. While doing a normal compilation of a painter screen that is part of our application we are facing compilation issues on japanese version of Windows 8. The same operation goes perfectly
    fine on english version of winodws 8. While investigating the compilation issue, we could figure out that manually reinstalling msgothic.gcc files  at times helped in successful compilation of painter screen file. Could you please help us understand
    the exact impact of manual reinstallation. Also please advise on how to address this issue.
     Please keep us posted about why there is difference in between windows 8 japanese and english versions from the gothic files perspective.
    Thank you,

  • What is the best way to open a .sit file?

    I downloaded my first .sit file today and thought double-clicking on it would open it with Stuffit Expander (which I also thought was included software, but apparently not -- at least not according to Spotlight). Instead, it for some reason defaulted to Microsoft Word to open it. Since the .sit file is a program that of course didn't work.
    When I checked VersionTracker I noticed that Stuffit Expander has a pretty mediocre user rating.
    *Is there a preferred way to expand .sit files?*
    Replies appreciated.

    Expander has been working great for many years. Has something changed?
    I don't know but its MacUpdate rating is 3 stars (out of 5) and its VersionTracker rating is 2 stars (out of 5), so I concluded there must be something about it people aren't happy with.

  • Can't read site files

    I just got a new computer and installed DWMX2004. My old site
    files are also on the new computer. I used the Site Wizard to
    create a new site, leading to the folder that contains the files.
    However, while I can see the folder defined as a site, I cannot see
    the folders and files under that folder. I am on local view too. I
    can see files under different folders on my computer. I can also
    see my site files using the Windows file manager, so I know they
    are there. Probably something very elementary, but I can't figure
    it out yet!

    It will not let me download the file. I get the following messages when I click on "View Image" I get the message:
    I then click on save, save as and I get the message:

  • Which application should I use to open .sit files?

    I'm trying to open a .sit file but a window pops saying that there's no application with which to open it.
    Help please,
    Thanks

    Are you trying to install from the original CDs, or a copy someone gave to you?
    I have only CS1, but I would think Adobe CS2 should have an installer application not dependent on Stuffit since it doesn't mention anything about that in the support doc.

  • Switched Views in Site Files window [DW MX]

    I'm using DW MX (not 2004 or DW8), and somehow the Site Files
    window's display of Remote and Local files got switched around. Now
    Remote files are on the left, and Local files are on the right. Not
    a huge deal, but it's counterintuitive to me, and I'd like to
    restore the normal setup.
    How do I reset the view to the normal scheme? (Local on left,
    Remote on right) I can't see any way to do it.
    TIA,
    steve
    PS: I'm on Mac OX 10, if that matters...

    For DW MX 2004 on Windows, go to Edit > Preferences >
    Site. Set the
    "Always show" menu to "Local Files on the Left". I think it's
    the
    same for DW MX.
    Hope this helps,

  • Shifting entire site file structure! (and other issues!!)

    Hi Folks
    I've been working on a totally new look for my site and have pretty much finished it off. in my site file structure within my httpdocs folder I have my current index page and associated files, also within here I have a folder called Beta2 which is home to my new site (within this is the entire new file structure).
    Now I'm ready to launch the 'new' site, but how do I get all the files from the Beta2 file to the main httpdocs folder without buggering all the links up!
    Every time I've tried so far all my includes fail and all the links become defunct.
    I should point out I'm not running a test server all my testing is online so I have a local copy of the file structure and an online copy.
    On a slightly different point (an html one) can anyone work out why including this - <span id="msgbox" style="display:none"> in my form causes it to stop submitting! (it calls up a box displaying if the entered membershipno already exists or not, the function works fine, and the form submits fine, but when you put the two together only the function works, the forms doesn't submit!)
    <p>Membership Number :
        <input name="membershipno" type="text" id="membershipno" maxlength="7" />
        <p>   
        <p><span id="msgbox" style="display:none"></span></p>

    This is partly a shameless bump, but also to say ignore the code issue I just really need to change file structure pretty quickly (by the 11th March!!)
    If anyone can offer an explaination I'd really really appreciate it
    Thanks a lot

  • New SIte FIle/Old Site/Synchronise Issues

    Hi All
    Okay so, my .site file became corrupt...again! So I built a new site file from the web content folder, however GoLive now wants to upload 19000 items every time I want to add an updated file via the upload button, if I synchronize with publish server it finds only the updated files and uploads these.
    But synchronizing every time takes ages.... is there a way of making the site file "learn" that it is the same as that at the publish server location so that I can just click the upload button and upload only new or edited files....
    J

    Yes - going from memory, but the command is under something like this:
    Site > Publish Server > Sync Modification Times > All

  • HELP! First time connecting to web host. How do I download my site files!!

    Okay! My site is on my web host! I am a little lost since my web host gave me not totally clear directions on how to do this. I had sent him some of my pages including my home page he connected to their web server along with a dating software that was connected to the pages I sent. This is what he wrote after the comments in bold and so I am little lost.
    Putting this here to show what I can access. >> Here is how you can access your control panel of the dating software: with my sign in and password info given
    Putting this here to show what I can access. >> Here is how to access your control of the site itself on my web hosting server: with my sign in and password info given
    IMPORTANT!!!!!
    Be sure to download the entire site into your Dreamweaver and place a backup copy of it on an external hard drive or someplace else secure.
    That's where I am lost, how do I download to DW? I previously loaded locally since I was working on my site on my lap top, so I know I have change those setting in DW. I can look thru my DW book. It's the download part I am a little confused about.
    Thanks for responses to help me!

    Remote view, local view shows the files on your computer (thus the name local).
    Just a tip, you can expand the files panel to full page by clicking on the expand icon on the far right hand side, (click on this again in expanded window to return to the main DW program).

  • Site files moved to new (identical) server; now iWeb gives "Publish Error"

    Our school district just replaced the web server where our teachers publish iWeb sites. All user accounts, passwords, IP addresses, and content moved over just fine, but now when teachers try to publish updates to their existing sites on the new server, iWeb throws a "Publish Error: Unable to communicate with FTP server..." error. Test Connection in the publishing settings works fine, as does logging in to the server using an FTP application, so we know the user accounts are okay.
    An interesting twist: I published my existing site (that was experiencing this issue) to a local folder on my desktop, and used a standalone FTP application to upload and replace my iWeb site files manually; when I went in and set the iWeb publishing settings back to FTP server, it was again able to publish updates to the site without issue.
    We're looking into a permissions problem on the files that were moved from the old server but so far have not been able to find any differences.
    Does anyone have any ideas what may be going on? We have a couple hundred people this is affecting and if it's something we can fix on the back-end instead of having to manually replace all of those site files, that would be a great thing!

    The only time that I had to move a bunch of sites to a new server I was instructed by tech support to download all the sites/files and upload them to the new location.
    I would assume that, if you don't do this, the permissions could get messed up.
    My hosting service uses Webshell4 to manage files on the server. To change permissions you need to select the site folder in Webshell4 and click the "CHMOD" button to get a window that allows you to do this.
    Read permissions should be checked for User, Group and Other.
    Write permissions would normally be set for User only.
    You could try this with one site to see if this is what's required but your hosting service tech support should really help you with this. That's what they are there for.

  • What is an "sit" file?

    I have pictures in an Olympus RAW format (.ORF I think) from an Olympus 5050 Zoom Camera. I installed the Camedia Master 4.1 software and then went to the Olympus website to download the latest update (4.2). The file downloaded and displayed in the download window. I double clicked on it but it would not open as there is no application to open it with. Does anyone know what I need to use to open this file? Is there another application that can read this file? iPhoto will not open it (I didn't think it would).
    Thanks

    .sit files are those compressed and expandable by Aladin's Stuffit Expander.
    You need to DL Stuffit, and then all supported-file formats (and .sit is but one) will be automatically expanded when they are DL in the future.

  • DW 4 not seeing GoLive .site file!

    I have several sites created in GoLive 7. I downloaded the GoLive 9 free trial, brought them over into GL9. Then I did the "Convert Site to New Structure" command as I have seen suggested. Downloaded the GoLive to DW migration extension and installed it. So far so good.
    But when I go to Import GoLive Site, and navigate to the folder where the site file is (there are actually several, only one is the current one), Dreamweaver does not "see" the .site files, even though when I look in the window in explorer, they are there. All I see are the web-content, web-data, and web-settings folders, but no .site files at all.

    This is an issue that I have never come across before. You're
    using a
    non-standard filename extension, so it doesn't particularly
    surprise me
    that Dreamweaver ignored it. Have you tried entering
    .properties in the
    list of filename extensions, as I suggested? If that works,
    your problem
    is solved. All that's needed is for the documentation to be
    made more
    explicit.
    On the other hand, if your filename extension is likely to be
    in
    widespread use, perhaps it's something that should be added
    to the
    standard list of files that Dreamweaver handles. Submit a
    feature
    request to the Dreamweaver team.

  • Unzipping Mac .zip files on a Windows PC

    Does anybody know of a Windows program that will decompress Mac .zip (gz) files reliably? I've Tried StuffIt Standard for Windows but it quits every time with a warning, "Engine Error:Internal Error." Sure, I can make .sit files on the Mac and use Stuffit to expand them in Windows, but that's not the solution I'm looking for. If I already have a Mac .zip file on my Windows PC is there any way to open it without using a Mac?
    I've searched these forums but all my searches come up with answers to the opposite question: How do I open Windows .zip files on my Mac?

    A .gz file is not a "Mac Zip file" but a GNU Zip file, which is commonly used on Unix and Linux computers (OS X is a form of Unix).
    You can get a gzip application for Windows here, or Google for something like "gzip for Windows".
    Archives made by the Finder on a Mac are regular zip files (.zip files), just like the ones you would see on Windows.
