Linking Adobe Fireworks to Filezilla

So I have had my recently had my website built essexminibuses24.co.uk but i would like to be able to edit some of the images on the website with fireworks, I have seen an option in filezilla ftp program to put the path of the fireworks.exe file into, so when i click edit it will automatically open in fireworks, can anybody help me in finding the path to fireworks so i can get this running. i am running windows vista home edition and i am running adobe fireworks cs5. Also any tips about creating vector paths in fireworks as i am a newbie to computers. Thanks

1) Open Filezilla
2) Edit-->Settings
3) File editing-->Filetype associations
4) add these lines:
png "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Fireworks CS6\Fireworks.exe" -open
jpg "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Fireworks CS6\Fireworks.exe" -open
5) click OK
Now, any jpg or png can be view and edited directly in Fireworks by right-mouse clicking an jpg or png file, and choosing "View/Edit".
Editing the image and saving it, will prompt Filezilla with a question whether you wish to upload it. Confirming this will overwrite the original on the server.
HOWEVER: this is a bad idea. You should not work like that. Instead, first download the files which you wish to edit to a separate folder on your system. Then create a duplicate. Work with the duplicate, and when you are finished, save the file as a Fireworks PNG. Then export the new version in Fireworks as either png or jpg, and upload it to the server.
Working in this way ensures that you do not lose the original, or that you make mistakes you cannot correct. Always work with copies of the original files, and avoid working directly with them through Filezilla. Merely viewing files through Filezilla is not a problem, though.
If you are a complete beginner, I would suggest you read any book about Windows Vista fundamentals, and get the "Fireworks CS5 Classroom in a book" book.
http://www.amazon.ca/Adobe-Fireworks-CS5-Classroom-Book/dp/0321704487
However, you should realize Fireworks is a dead application: it is no longer actively supported or developed by Adobe since May 2013.

  • Newsletter creation and CSS export in Adobe Fireworks

    I am a new to adobe fireworks and am currently in the trial mode of my download.
    I was advised that Adobe FIreworks CS6 is the ideal program to create graphics and text to build a newsletter for my company.
    Not knowing much about the program, I was able to add graphics, text and hotspots on specific images and text with an html link for customers to be able to click to sign up for the newsletter via our website.
    The million dollar question I have is how in the world do I export this document and paste it into the "body" of an email to send to 5k contacts?
    I do not want an attachment, I want the body fo the email to be html or css coded, but I know nothing about either of the two or how to do it.
    I did find one video that walked me thru the export css process, but none of my images were shown and 90% of the text was missing.
    I believe I need to understand "layers" to get this to work properly but could really use some help!
    I am dangerously close to missing out on advertising to all 5k contacts before the holiday. Please help!!
    BTW - the reason for doing this instead of using standard mailchimp or constant contact is because I purchased my email list and those are forbidden in both constant contact and mailchimp hence why i need to create my own opt-in newsletter to get people to opt-in via my website.
    Thanks in Advance!!

    Seriously, do not use Fireworks to generate the html for your webpage.  It is graphics program with *some* html capabilites, but I would never use it for a live site.  It is always best to create the layout in Fireworks, slice it up as for use as individual images, or uses 'pieces' for background images and write the markup (html + css) in Dreamweaver or a HTML editor of your choice.
    This tutorial may help you make the transition.  Naturally it helps to have at least a basic knowledge of html and css before working with Dreamweaver, it will make using DW so much easier.

  • Advised to use Adobe Fireworks

    Hi;
    I am doing the Adobe Dreamweaver CS5  "Classroom in a book".
    It recommends, in a couple of places, using Adobe Fireworks. On one occasion for roughing out a new design for presentation to a client, and elsewhere for image manipulation. (It was also suggesting Photoshop for producing a full sized mockup).
    There is even a tip: "For years designers have started the design process in Fireworks, where they create a fully functioning mockup with menus, links and hotspots that can then be exported to a CSS-based HTML layout and edited in Dreamweaver"
    Whilst reading these excellent Forums, I'm pretty sure that I saw one that suggested Fireworks was "toxic".
    Any thoughts, please? Should I be looking to get Fireworks?
    Bob

    As already stated, use whichever graphics app you feel most comfortable with for mock-ups and optimizing images.
    Use DW to build your web site.

  • Adobe Fireworks CS6: Frequent Crashes

    Because I now have another designer working for me, I haven't been using Adobe Fireworks as much. But for a recent project, I started using it often again and it is almost unusable in the amount that it crashes.
    It crashes frequently. (Probably 10-20 times per day.) I have tried all of the recommendations I've seen online that seemed applicable. I have contacted Adobe Phone Support and they sent me here, saying they don't support Adobe Fireworks over the phone. (huh?) But they did go in and reset my Fireworks preferences, which did not solve the issue. I am on a mac, osx 10.9.4, 3.4 ghz intel core i7, 12 BG ram.
    I know it's a discontinued product, but I paid for this product, and love it and would prefer to still use it. If it wouldn't crash, it would be almost perfect in my opinion for web design and layout work.
    I've been able to recreate the crashes when switching between "Pages" in Fireworks on semi-large files. It also crashes often when I open up more than one file with a substantial size. I will sometimes get a message saying "Could Not complete your request. An Error occurred."
    Once the program crashes, I will also get a pop up that comes from the program that says:
    "Adobe has found a recent workaround for this crash. Please Click Here for the Solution." (or something to that extent) and when I try to click on "Click Here" it's a dead link - it goes nowhere.
    I am hoping that someone at Adobe knows where this link SHOULD go, and that there is an actual solution or workaround for the frequent crashing.

  • Adobe Fireworks Keeps Crashing

    I depend on Adobe Fireworks at work, yet it is becoming increasingly unstable. It crashed on me just 3 times in the past hour.
    I try to save my work frequently, but some of these crashes are caused just by saving.
    Can you please let me know the level of support this discontinued software is receiving?
    I don't see a product from Adobe that is even close to replacing Adobe Fireworks. I'm trying to switch over to Sketch.app, but they still have some catching up to do to match the power of Fireworks.
    Is there any chance Adobe is listening to the thousands of people that depend on using this software for their businesses?
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as it's getting frustrating to use a tool that is slowly dying.
    Thanks,
    David

    Please send us the .muse file at [email protected] along with a link to this thread so we can attempt to reproduce the crash and investigate. If the file is larger than 20Mb you can use a service like Adobe SendNow, Dropbox, WeTransfer, etc. (If you use a service, please include your return e-mail address in the body of the message, since not all services include it in the sharing invite they send.) Thanks.
    In general you're more likely to receive timely attention from the forum community if you start a new thread for your discussion. (This thread has been dormant for a year and a half. There's no information in it that remains relevant to the current version of Muse.) Thanks.

  • Where can I buy and upload older versions of Adobe Fireworks for my Mac? I can't afford the latest versions.

    Hi. I love working on Fireworks. I use it to tweak pictures for web letters. I had the latest full version at my previous company but is now on my own and can't afford the latest version. Is there anyway of loading an older Adobe Fireworks version for my Macbook for a bit cheaper?

    The latest (and forever last) version is CS6 - it is a dead product,and no longer maintained or supported by Adobe.
    It is actually quite hard to find the purchase link now:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/catalog/cs6._sl_id-contentfilter_sl_catalog_sl_software_sl_c reativesuite6.html?start=10
    It will cost you $299 - but honestly, I would stay away from FW at this point. You are investing money in a dead application, and there is a good chance that it will no longer function properly on your mac in a few years time.
    It may be a better idea to get something like Sketch: Sketch 3
    Or affinity Designer: https://affinity.serif.com/en-gb/
    Affinity Designer is only $49.

  • Redownload adobe fireworks

    How do i find my Adobe account and re download my Adobe Fireworks.

    To see if it is available thru your account go to the main Adobe site and sign in where it says "Sign in to My Adobe".  THat will open to your account where you can look to see if there are links for the software you own.  You can also probably download the applications else where in the Adobe site and use your serial number to activate it (the serial number should be in your account info if you registered it).  Here is a link to the main download page for older versions...

  • Adobe Fireworks CS4 freez on create album

    Hi,
    I'm trying to use Adobe Fireworks CS4 with all the latest update on a Macbook Pro computer with OSX 10.5.8.
    Everything works fine, except for the following.
    I use commands - create slideshow.
    Then I create an album and add pictures.
    When I issue the command create, everything works fine.
    But ....
    From the moment that I choose to rotate a picture, the create process freezes when it reaches that specific picture and I can only cancel this.
    Is there anyone who can tell me a solution or workaround?
    Next to that, I also have an issue with multiple albums. When I use multiple albums and use the album properties to add a description and a thumbnail to a specific album, I always see that this is removed as soon as I click another album.
    It would be very helpfull if anyone knows a solution to both these problems.
    Thanks in advance,
    Kind regards,
    Vincent

    > Now the things that I am unsure  how to do are based on the above description are:
    1) How can I  make the name of the site section only, to the left of the banner as a  link to a url when the user hovers over the name part only, the mouse  hand turns into a pointer and gets redirected to url <
    That needs to be a seperate slice. As a general rule, each link needs to be on a seperate slice.
    > 2) The same  goes for the two buttons that I have created as two individual symbols? <
    The same. Since each button symbol is a seperate slice you can add different URLs to them.
    > 3) How can I  slice the above two queries, so that I can export into Dreamweaver, so  that all the required code comes across with all the desired effects,  that is, when previewing in Firefox, all hovering on site name and two  buttons work as requried? <
    What I would do, instead of exporting code from Fireworks, is export images only, and add the code in Dreamweaver. If you must do iy from Fireworks, remember to put each element in a seperate slice. It would be easier to advise you if you could upload a copy of your file.
    > I am just undure how to slice it? Unsure if I  have to assign hotspots to the sections? <
    No need for hotspots unless you are creating an image map. Any coding, behaviors, etc will be exported with the HTML attached to the slices.

  • Some adobe fireworks cs5 panel acting strange.... how to fix it

    I try to uninstall over and over again but this don’t seem to fix this issue.

  • How do I create more than one navigation button in Adobe Fireworks CS6?

    Hi guys, 
    Apologies if this comes across as very stupid question. I am a complete beginner with Adobe Fireworks and I'm in the process of creating my first website and I have got to the stage where I want to create navigation buttons and the book I have recommends using Adobe Fireworks so I have downloaded. My problem I have encountered is after I have created my first two state button what is the next step to create another two state button which has the identical size and colour of the previous two state button?
    Here is a brief rundown of the steps I have done to do the first two state button:
    1) Edit-Insert-New Button
    2) Chose the rectangle and then specified the width and height of the button and chose my stroke and fill colour
    3) Centred the button and used the text tool to put the button as a 'Home' button for my website. I then went on Window and Align in order to centre the text on the button
    4) I went on Select-Select All and then went on Windows-States to open the states panel. I right clicked on state 1 which is Up and clicked on copy to states. I then selected the next state radio button and clicked OK.
    5) I selected State 2 and slightly modified it by changing the colour of the text.
    6) I then clicked the back button to return to the main window.
    After this what step should I take to create my another button which has the same size, colour and text style as I have created for the first button? I tried just repeating these steps again but when I do step 1 it creates a new fireworks document which means I have to create the buttons size, colour, text style from scratch.
    Your help would be greatly appreciated guys and once again I do apologise if this comes across as a silly question.
    PS Please could you let me know if the steps I have taken to create the 1st two state button are correct

    Initially you need to configure via the provider's own web based control panel multiple e-mail accounts. If they don't have one, work it out with their customer support to have three distinct mail accounts. Then you can setup multiple logins by adding new accounts to mail. Since mail checks all accounts per Mac OS X user account simultaneously, it probably is best to use different usernames on the same internet provider. If you don't want mail to show all the information from all three mail accounts simultaneously, configure Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Accounts to have multiple users on your computer, and configure each of the internet service provider accounts for each separaet user on Mac OS X.

  • Adobe Fireworks Crashes on Start Up

    I'm currently using Adobe Fireworks CS 5.0 on a mac, when I opened it up today it continously tried to open the same file (picture below) and then crashes.
    I've tried:
    - Clearing my Preferences via the Library through the "Go" menu
    - Reinstalling the product
    - removing the file it was trying to access from my computer.
    But I still have the same problem when I open the program.
    What can I do to solve this problem?

    Have you tried to reset preferences?  And no you do not have to start Bridge to do this.,
    Hold down the Ctrl key and start Bridge.  You should get a reset window with 3 options.  Choose all 3.

  • Converting Templates From  Adobe Fireworks to Joomla

    Do anyone know how to transfer templates from Adobe Fireworks to Joomla or another CMS's . Cuz i wanted to create an ecommerce site ,so i'd like to create a template by myself...

    No you can't transfer templates from FW to Joomla or Wordpress or Drupal or any other CMSs because the themes/templates for these packages have to be constructed in a specific way to make them work correctly.
    I suggest go to Joomla's Forums and ask them how to create templates for their package.  There are other forums for Wordpress and drupal as well to deal with questions like yours.
    Good luck.
