  • DW CC: Can't find a valid editor for this file extension

    Hi,
    I am using dreamweaver cc for 1 month now. I have been having difficulty opening .asp file.
    In the File panel, when i click on one of the asp files, the error message is 'Can't find a valid editor for this file extension'.
    To solve this problem, I will right click on the file and choose Open with > Dreamweaver.
    However, this is very inconvenient. Someone pls help!

    You can configure that in your Operating System.  In my version of Windows XP, open any folder and  select TOOLS/FOLDER OPTIONS/FILE TYPES then scroll to the asp file type and select DW as the editor.

  • Dreamweaver CC and Windows 8.1 - Can't Find A Valid Editor For This File Extension

    Was running the latest version with no issues and then I loaded Office 2013 .. Now when I am in the remote site and try to double click on a .cfm file, I get a dialog box..Can't Find A Valid Editor For This File Extension..
    I tried the support chat and they said Dreamweaver support was not available, try again later???
    So I thought I would reinstall the CC version and now I can see the Dreamweaver icon next to the files but still ... can't open the file..
    Any assistance would be appreciated?
    Leo

    The issue is only in Windows 8.x where when Dreamweaver CC is installed, it is not able to turn on the file type associations by default.  The workaround for now is to manually add the extensions both within Windows and then within Dreamweaver CC itself.
    Go to Control Panel > Programs > Default Programs > Set Your Default Programs and select Dreamweaver CC and then select 'Choose defaults for this program' and Select All or the extensions you want to open in Dreamweaver CC
    Start Dreamweaver CC and go to Edit > Preferences > File Types/Editors and add '.cfm .cfc' to the extensions and then add C:\Program Files (x86)\Dreamweaver CC\Dreamweaver.exe then click on Apply and Close
    That should be it.

  • Can't find a valid editor for this file extension

    When I try to open access from within Dreamweaver I get this
    error message.

    Many Thanks for any help

    Support for ColdFusion and other databases were removed from DWCC. You can add them back with the Legacy Extension, or adding a paid extension from DMX Zone...
    About 1/2 way down this page for the legacy extension: http://blogs.adobe.com/dreamweaver/
    It's a paid extension, but adds back a lot of the things that were removed...

  • I can no longer print any document in PDF format. Not sure why

    I can no longer print any document in PDF format. Not sure why? When I try to print, the document saves to my hard drive as a PDF and will not allow me to print? Never had this issue before. Any thoughts?

    Print to file is in the main print dialog (on Acrobat 9.x) as opposed to under Advanced

  • Dreamweaver as custom editor for other file extensions

    So, I'm working on a project that requires me to work on some
    files with non-standard extensions. Namely, I have some text files
    that have a .cm extension, and I have some code files which have no
    extension at all. I am connecting to my file store via an FTP
    "site" set up in Dreamweaver.
    Under preferences->filetypes/editors, I set up ". .cm" for
    those two cases, and had selected "Dreamweaver" as the primary
    editor.
    The files open just fine, and I'm able to edit and save them,
    and when I do, the files get "PUT" back up to the FTP server as I
    want. However, what I've noticed is that the first time I edit one
    of those types of files, and save it, now, from then on in that
    session of Dreamweaver, any time I de-focus the window and then
    come back to it, the IDE initiates another PUT action of the files
    in question, even if the files are unchanged.
    However, if I go back into preferences, and remove the
    "Dreamweaver" as the primary editor for those two extensions, and
    leave that list blank, Dreamweaver still is able to open up the
    files as I want, but this weirdness with FTP putting and the
    window-focus goes away.
    Anyone have any idea why?

    This TechNote explains how to add file extensions to be
    recognized by DW.
    http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_16410
    Unfortunately, DW does not handle file with no file extension
    very well.

    What's on lines 1-7 of that file?
    That code compiles fine for me on CF8 & CF9, so that's not where the error is.
    You're not trying to compile it on any earlier version of CF than CF8 are you?  The < and ++ operators are not valid prior to CF8.  CFMX7 might see the < as a stray angle bracket, and get confused.  I don't have CFMX7 running here to test the exact error that would produce, sorry.

  • I need help can i find out what device request a password reset.

    I dont check my email very often and when i did i had a email from apple saying how do i rest my password. they sent it to me on 8/15/13 at 2:30pm. also i went to my icloud account and noticed i only have 1 ipod and my sons iphone registered. i did have 2 ipods and my sons iphone. so i need some help finding out if i can get that email tracked back to the device. Also i had another email from 7/9/13.
    Your Apple ID,  was just used to download Paper Run from the App Store on a computer or device that had not previously been associated with that Apple ID. You may also be receiving this email if you reset your password since your last purchase. that is what the 2nd email said. so now i am worried. if anyone can help lead me in the right derection. thank you

    I do not think you can find out on what device the purchases was made.
    I would change the password for your account.
    You can also contact iTunes and see what they can do

  • Where can I find a user-guide for the awfull Text-Editor used to enter/edit these forums entries?

    I am desesperate to understand how quite basic functions (just as one of many examples: how can I paste text, that I have formatted in MS Word and want to paste into a Forum Post-Entry?) can be done with the primitive and awful Text Editor used to enter/edit Forum Entries. Notice, that like many other Adobe users, I am not familiar at all with HTML and it is therefore a description of the badly named "Full Editor" that I am looking for.
    Where can I find a User-Guide for this Text Editor?
    My recommendation to Adobe: exercise enough  brute pressure on the developers of this primitive Text Editor to force them to provide something more reasonable, more powerful and more intuitive.

    Thank You Jochem
    I was trying to understand how I could do things as simple as inserting text that I had previously copied. Since there are neither command menüs nor buttons for the Insert of previously copied text, I was trying a mouse right click.....and was being offered in the context menu the choice between "Insert Link", "Insert Image", "Alignement", and "Insert Table"....... but no possibility of a plain insert of previously copied text.
    Now, I realize, that Clearstream supports at least the keyword shortcut of "Ctrl V" ........that I am not using in any other software (I never use any keyboard shortcuts).
    Since Clearstream does not support reasonable choices in the contextual menus, I will need to memorize the most important keyword shortcuts.
    By the way: I detected now, that the "Ctrl V" keyboard shortcut allows me to insert formatted text.
    Even, if I will now begin to be able to use reasonably Clearstream, I am quite surprised to see that such a software provides neither reasonable Contextual Menus, nor a User Guide, nor........
    Thank you again Jochem for your patience with me.
