Newbie help with editing files in DW CS3

I am new to using Dreamweaver, and I am having trouble with
trying to edit existing files using DW CS3. When I open an existing
file on my local site, DW converts some of the code using &.
This is a problem because I need to edit the file just as it was
originally written, so I can save it after editing and upload to my
website.
In my Preferences, I have Code Rewriting set to:
-Rewrite Code: Fix invalidly nexted and unclosed tags
[Unchecked]
-Rewrite Code: Rename form items when posting [Checked]
-Rewrite Code: Remove extra closing tags [Unchecked]
-Never rewrite code: In files with extensions .as .asr .asc
.asp .ascx .asmx .aspx .cfc .cfm .cfml .config .cs .ihtml .js .jsp
.php .php3 .vb .xml .xsl .xslt .xul
-Special characters: Encode <, >, &, and " in
attribute values using & [Unchecked]
-URL encoding: Do not encode special characters
-Active Content: Insert using browser-safe scripts [Checked
by default]
-Active Content: Convert tags to scripts on file open
[Unchecked]
Today, I opened a file with an .xml extension, and DW rewrote
the special characters > and '. Since I have in my preferences
to Never rewrite code in .xml, I don't understand why DW is
rewriting the code. Also, in my preferences I have unchecked the
Special Characters, so why is DW still rewriting the code?
Do I have some of the Code Rewriting preferences set wrong?
Is there another place I need to tell DW not to rewrite
existing code?
Thanks for your help!

It imported both, but only shows you the raw file. Ever. What you see and what you edit will only be the raw file. The associated JPG file will follow the raw file around if you move it or rename it using Lightroom, but other than that, Lightroom will ignore it. You could safely delete the JPG, and Lightroom wouldn't complain--probably wouldn't even notice.
There's a preference you can set that will cause JPGs to be imported as separate images. Then you'd be able to see both of them and edit them separately. That preference won't take effect on images that are already in the catalogue, but will affect all future imports.

  • Newbie, help with .AVI files!

    I am trying to put .AVI files on my imovie hd, but when they eventually load there is nothing there but blackness. I am trying to get these files on imovie hd so that i can make my own dvd. I really dont know what i might need to do. Do I convert the avis to something? If so, what program would be used?
    Thanks
    Nick

    Hi Nicholas,
    ffmpeg is a very mighty conversion tool (besides the pro $$$ tools as Compressor), but as you experienced, no that convenient; indeed you hav eto install manually all that libraries, on ffmpegs webiste that is all discrbed in detail.. I can't guide you, I'm using an older version and it was a painstaking process of trial&error... ;-))
    BUT...
    you haven't told us, what codec is INSIDE the avi... avi is, as .mov, just a media container, containing many flavors of compression codecs, from sorenson, to mp4, from pic to divx....
    you haven't told where these avis come from (... or you don't dare to tell us ), but there's a high chance, that it contains just plain mpeg1/2....
    in that case, there's some other, much more convenient tool on the market,
    have a look here for Streamclip, it accepts .avi containers too....
    it's free, for mpeg1 it works "as is"; I would give that a try, before juggling with encoders... ;-)))
    you would help us with diagnosis&therapy, when telling us where these avis come from...

    Thanks in advance,

    R_Owen ,
    One possible way of how to do it in JSE8 is:
    1. Put all necessary lib jars to some place under src folder.
    2. Add those jars into Compile-time libraries list (Project properties -> Libraries) for correct compilation
    3. Switch to 'Files' JSE8 tab, open manifest.mf file (it's in projects root) and add your lib jars to it.
    Syntax is:
    Class-Path: relative URLs
    That's it.
    And Class-Path attribute description from JAR File Specification:
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/guide/jar/jar.html#Main%20Attributes:
    �Class-Path:
    The value of this attribute specifies the relative URLs of the extensions or
    libraries that this application or extension needs.
    URLs are separated by one or more spaces.
    The application or extension class loader uses the value
    of this attribute to construct its internal search path. �

  • Newbie Help with TS files

    Thank you in advance folks!
    I have a Audio TS & Video TS files and I want to bring into iMovie to slice/cut part of the video at the end.
    Can I convert Audio/Video TS files to a format I can bring into iMovie to splice the end and send to iDVD.
    I want quality to be as good as Audio/Audio TS files.
    Again many thanks!!

    You need to convert the VOB files back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
    which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
    which is a mere $20.
    Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
    http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
    which costs $25.
    Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.

  • Help with editing a template flash file..

    FIRST OFF..please don't shoot the noobee..I know some folks
    don't like the templates and I appreciate that.
    I have done some reading but not a whole lot about Flash. I
    certainly don't want to BUILD a flash (not yet), but want to edit
    one that is included in a template. I only want to edit the header
    that drops down. It says The Web STudio. I, for example, want it to
    say Marks Studio.
    Ok..the temp comes with Flash/non flash.
    I open w/flash and have a 3 folders: flash, psd and html.
    -flash folder has Images, fla doc and one flash html file
    -PSD folder has 3 psd files
    -html folder has flash folder, images folder, css file and
    one single index.html file.
    I opened the flash folder and found the image.jpg I wanted to
    change to Marks studio.
    I opend the PSD and found the slice that is the same as that,
    then edited it like I want it in PSD, then saved to replace the old
    image. top1. jpg
    Still, it is the same ole one that came with the temp.
    as I said, please don't shoot the noobe. I just wanna edit
    the flash file.
    Thanks for any help.

    You'd need Flash to edit the FLA file.

  • Can some help with CR2 files ,Ican`t see CR2 files in adobe bridge

    can some help with CR2 files ,I can`t see CR2 files in adobe bridge when I open Adobe Photoshop cs5- help- about plugins- no camera raw plugins. When i go Edit- preference and click on camera raw  shows message that Adobe camera raw plugin cannot be found

    That's strage. Seems that the Camera Raw.8bi file has been moved to different location or has gone corrupt. By any chance did you try to move the camera raw plugin to a custom location?
    Go To "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS5\File Formats" and look for Camera Raw.8bi file.
    If you have that file there, try to download the updated camera raw plugin from the below location.
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=5371&fileID=5001
    In case  you ae not able to locate the Camera Raw.8bi file on the above location, then i think you need to re-install PS CS5.

  • Help with Editing Raw in Lightroom 3.6

    Hello everyone!
    I am new to the forum and also to using lightroom. I just need some help with editing my RAW files. I shoot in RAW + JPEG and I just imported the files to lightroom. It didn't show me the jpeg files for importing so I only imported the RAW files, which I needed. After editing, I realised it said CR2+JPEG. Which means that both files were imported but combied into a single one. Now I basically want to edit my RAW files only. Does that mean I have edited a jpeg or a mixture of both files? How to edit only the RAW file?
    If my picture says CR2+JPEG, does that mean it isnt a pure RAW file and the editing would affect the image quality?
    I will really appreciate some help!

    It imported both, but only shows you the raw file. Ever. What you see and what you edit will only be the raw file. The associated JPG file will follow the raw file around if you move it or rename it using Lightroom, but other than that, Lightroom will ignore it. You could safely delete the JPG, and Lightroom wouldn't complain--probably wouldn't even notice.
    There's a preference you can set that will cause JPGs to be imported as separate images. Then you'd be able to see both of them and edit them separately. That preference won't take effect on images that are already in the catalogue, but will affect all future imports.

  • Help with editing audio files (please)

    hi there,
    firstly sorry for posting in this section but i had no idea where else to do it.
    i recently went to an acoustic gig and recorded some songs from it using a sony ericsson phone. i have blue-toothed the files to my mac. there are a few songs on each recording are two things i would like to do with these files.
    1. i would like to split the files so they are separate for each song.
    2. i would like to try remove as much background noise as possible i.e. crowd making noise, or at least focus it on the actual music being played.
    i have download audacity but have no idea. i am looking for a possibly free way to do this and simple too. i am not going to go hardcore with the editing, just want to do it quick and easy.
    any help much appreciated, thanks, ravi.

    You need to import your song to iTunes first.
    Than open Garage Band and click on bottom Right button (View/ Hide media browser).
    Click on Audio>iTunes>Music, and choose the song you want to edit. Then Just drag to your board and this will open new track, you will see line running vertically on your screen, this is showing you at what measure your song will start, just move to the beginning of a track (if you drop it too soon, just "pick" it up again and move it). This is very useful when you are trying to merge several track (e.g. for your iMovie, as you have only two tracks on it).
    Than Split and delete portion you don't want any more.
    To Slit a track, adjust your measure where you want to split it and go to Edit>Spit.
    Hope this helps.

  • Lightroom 2.1 History Bug with Edited File

    I downloaded Lightroom 2.1 and now when I edit a file in Photoshop and then it comes back into Lightroom, if I click on one of the Presets, such as a B&W preset, then there is no way to get back to the edited file in color. The first entry in the History is the B&W preset, and I can't undo past that point to return to the color version of the edited file.
    Seems like it's not making a "edit in photoshop" history item that allows me to return to the original.

    I'm back trying to sort this problem out (got distracted for a couple of days by trying to get my monitor calibrated).
    Rearranging the folder structure didn't help. But I now have a better organized catalog, so that's ok :)
    What I did find is that if I import files into lightroom using the "file/import photos from device", then I can edit them normally afterwards (that is, when I save the file in photoshop cs3, the new file gets picked up correctly by lightroom and gets correctly stacked with the original). This is true even if the new files get added into the same directory structure that I'm having troubles with.
    So it looks like the directory structure is a red herring. It looks like the problem is in the catalog, with the way that lightroom originally imported my files. I created my original catalog by allowing lightroom to read my elements 6 catalog.
    It seems that I have this edit problem with all catalog entries that were imported from elements 6, but I don't have any problem with catalog entries that lightroom brings in directly (either through "import photos from device" or by adding a new folder to the lightroom catalog).
    So right now it looks like there is a problem with the elements catalog conversion.
    Is this a problem that anybody else has seen? Any suggestions for getting around it?

  • Help with finding files

    I would really appreciate any help on this! I have my itunes library on an external hard drive. The power adapter to that drive failed. I replaced it, but now when I open itunes it doesn't recognize where any of my files are. A friend told me to try to go into Edit>Preferences and find the drive of my hard drive and reset that as where the files are. That didn't work. I can go in manually and click on a song where the window pops up that itunes can't find the file, and I am able to find it and then it will play. But to do that with all files in my library would take forever. Thank you so much for any help!
    (I have itunes 8)

    Try This. Hold the shift key down, and open iTunes. Do not let up on the shift key until you get a window that asks you to choose a library, or create a new library. If iTunes opens without giving you that choice, just close it and re-open it with the shift key down. Nine times out of Ten it works on the first try. Click "choose a library". You will get another window that allows you to navigate to your hard drive and show iTunes where your music is stored. In a folder called iTunes or iTunes Music, choose "iTunes Library.itl" This should bring back your entire library the way it was when you last used it.

  • Help with referenced files and importing

    This might be more complex than can be addressed here, but I'm struggling with the organization of aperture.
    Because I'm not sure I want use aperture forever, and because I occasionally like to use other photo editors, I've opted for a referenced file setup. I typically arrange my pictures into year/month sub folders, with additional folders for special subjects, like my kids. I've been doing this for a long time, it works for me, and I don't want to change.
    Problem #1 - avoiding duplicates when I import. When I stick the card in my computer I want to copy just the new files to the directory I specify. Image capture only looks for duplicates in the target directory, which is no help if I'm importing files to "November" from a card that has files that were previously imported to "October." The easiest solution would be to delete the images off of the card after importing, but I can't do that - my wife also wants to copy the pix to her computer and she may not copy for several weeks or months at a time.
    I tried using aperture's import feature to copy files directly from my camera's memory card. The import worked, but when I tried to locate the files on disk, aperture told me there were no referenced files. Any idea where they are?
    Problem #2 - import. Is there any way to make Aperture watch referenced directories and automatically add new files to the the appropriate project? It's a pain to keep manually importing files.
    Problem #3 - Organization. Is there any way to set up aperture so that a project = a physical folder on my drive? I get that Aperture is trying to abstract the physical location of my files, but I don't want them abstracted. Also, why is my aperture primary library 6.2 GB when I do all my work with referenced files? Where are my edited files stored? Are these in the primary library? Where are the files from my photostreams (from my phone) stored?
    Would any or all of these issues be resolved by moving to a managed file set up?
    Finally, if I can't get Aperture working the way I need it, any insight into how I'd use it as an external editor to something like Picasa? I really like the aperture editing tools - that's why I bought it. But the workflow is just killing me.
    Any insights would be appreciated. Thanks.

    It is not as complex as you are making it.  Aperture is not per se an editor.  It is for storing and organizing, and quickly decoding RAW images.  It is a pretty good editor, but it has the feature to allow you to specify an External Editor to which you can send images for more complex editing, and back -- all from within Aperture.
    You don't want to have your images referenced so you can also edit them with other programs.  That destroys the non destructive design of Aperture.  If you want Referenced images, you mostly want them so they can be on a different hard drive from that used by the Library for keeping track and storing the adjustments, and not so other programs can access them.
    You need to read further as to how and why Aperture works the way it does.

  • Help with Exporting files in Aperture

    Hello looking for your help (first time poster)
    My problem is when I export using Aperture the file size almost triples . I Import Nikon RAW file, make my adjustments and export by using export version- TIFF original size 16bit.
    The file size in Aperture is 50mb and when I check it in photoshop the file size is 143mb this is killing my hard drive!!
    Cheers Dan.
    Message was edited by: d4an

    In either 16bit TIFF or PSD - esp if you have multiple bitmapped layers you are going to end up with big files, that is all there is to it. Are you sure you need PS to do your "tidying up" In most cases the answer is probably not depending on what "tidying up" means.

    Hi Steve - thanks for the reply - my question was a bit vague as I wasn't entirely sure what I was working with but I think your point about the new linked image scaling to the same size as the existing file has helped me understand it a bit more.  What I want to know how to do is to make an entirely new file with a clipping mask that I then link an image to.  I made a file with a clipping mask on the page and then chose file>place but the image I import is not being clipped (I ticked the link option when importing it) I see it working with the existing file I'm working with but I need to know how to make a new one myself.
    If this makes it clearer here's what I want to do ...
    I am making a banner, I have 3 flat jpegs of t-shirts that I want to place on the banner without their white background.  I made a clipping mask the same shape as the outline of the t-shirt and now I want to import the jpeg so it is a linked file and is clipped by the clipping mask and so I can use it in future to import different t-shirt image in without scaling and clipping them each time.
    REally appreciate your help, thanks.

  • Need help with editing flash

    Hello everyone, I'm really new to flash and I have some problems with editing my flash file. Currently, I have a small flash application  in a folder, containing various kinds of files such as AS, SWF, FLA, HTML. What I want to do is to change the text inside one of the buttons in the application. After doing some reasearching, I realized that I should probably make some changes to the FLA file(Quiz.fla for example) since Quiz.fla is the only FLA file in the folder. Therefore, I opened it using Adobe Flash CS5.5, what what I found out is that the Quiz.fla file  is really different from other FLA files. It only shows a plain background when I open it, without showing the actual interface of the flash application. It does contain all the buttons and contants under the Library section on the right side of Adobe Flash . When I try to change the text inside the button then save-publish, the newly published SWF file  would just be a static picture of the button I've changed and everything else is gone. Any help is greatly appreciated!

    ya, that's why I'm confused. I've actually tried editing some sample flash FLA files and all I need to do is to edit them in the Library and it would work out. But this one seems to have some weird problems. I could actually send the application folder to you if you have some time to take a look at it. Thank you very much again for the help!
