Preview in new window

Is there any way to get Dreamweaver to stop using the last IE
window I opened as the preview window? For example, if I have a web
page open already and then preview a page in Dreamweaver it uses
the window I already had open as the preview window. Can I get it
to open a new window instead of using the last one?
Thanks.

It's under the Advanced options in IE (TOOLS | Internet
Options > Advanced >
Reuse window for shortcuts).

Preview - A new window every time?

Is there a way to set the preview up so that it will reuse the browser window/page when doing a preview?
When I work on a page I like to preview often. Especially since most of my coding is for PHP page/apps. The problem is that every time I use the Dreamweaver preview it opens a new browser window. This is a real pain. It would be more useful for Dreamweaver to use the reuse the page and browser window instead of adding to the clutter by opening another browser window to an already crowded desktop.
I know that this may not be feasible for some developers, so I would suggest a switch in the preview preferences where we can turn on / off the ability to reuse a preview page.
Yes, I know I could simply press refresh on the browser, but I'm thinking of a more efficient way of working. I open my previews using a keyboard shortcut in Dreamweaver. This is a lot better than leaving Dreamweaver, selecting a browser window and clicking on refresh. I like things to be as few clicks/presses as possible.
It would even be nice to tell the preview to use the same browser, but just add a tab instead of opening another window.
If there is already a way do any of this, please let me know.
PS: I'm using a Mac with CS4

I agree it can be a pain having a new window open every time you hit Alt>F12, especially if you don't close the previous browser window and then have to decide which was the latest edit. I do that to myself once in a while.
Having said that, I don't know of any way other than "F5" to do this without opening a new window in the browser. Even in Firefox with it set to open new pages in tabs, it opens a new window instead. I believe this is because the preview function works a lot like double clicking an HTML file from a folder. The OS selects the designated default browser, and opens a new window for the file. The Dreamweaver command does the same thing. I can live with it though.
"This is a lot better than leaving Dreamweaver, selecting a browser window and clicking on refresh. I like things to be as few clicks/presses as possible."
It never ceases to amaze me anymore these days how many people don't have a single second to spare in their entire day for an additional click or keystroke. It scares me to think what classic art would be if Michelangelo or DaVinci decided that their works should be done in fifteen minutes or they weren't worth the effort, or if the Wright brothers had only spent a single afternoon on the airplane and then gave up because it was taking too long. You're designing a website. It's a creation from your mind. In some ways that is the same as invention or art. If that's too much work, perhaps you should just hire someone to do it for you.

Preview iView / Open iView in new window not properly working

Hello,
I've got a question regarding previewing an iView (by pressing the "Preview" button in its properties) or opening an iView in a new Window by clicking on a button for instance. The problem is that when the window is opened, the iView cannot be displayed and a Portal Runtime exception is thrown, with the message "Cannot find iView" iView: N\A. This is very strange, since sometimes it works, when i test it on a different browser, but even on the same browser on which it works , sometimes it still fails, and displays "Cannot find iView". Does anybody have any clue what this problem can be? Basically it happens most of the time, but sometimes (randomly?) it works. I guess it may be a problem with caching, but i haven't resolved the reason yet. Thanks very much.

Try playing around with the load settings. Specifically, try turning off client-side caching, your browser might be getting confused depending on the kind of iview you are previewing.
A couple of questions:
1. What kind of iview is it?
2. Does it work if you stick it on a page and preview the page?

Hi everyone from the Build 2015 conference happening right now in San Francisco! If you haven’t already, check out Terry’s blog post about all the Windows 10 announcements we made today. If you’re at Build this week or at Ignite in Chicago next week – keep your eye out for me and say hello!
Today we have a new build available to both the Fast and Slow ring for Windows Insiders (that means we’ll have ISOs available too for those of you who like a clean install.) With this build we continue to evolve the features and design for Windows 10, and you’ll see a lot of subtle changes and improvements, many of which were influenced directly by Windows Insiders. One of those changes is the reintroduction of some Aero Glass elements in the UI, but there are many more things throughout the product as well. We continue to use your feedback directly day to day in how our feature teams operate, and we hope that Windows 10 will be the best version of Windows yet because you had a direct hand in its creation.
One other subtle change that you’ll notice is that we’ve changed how we talk about the builds from “Technical Preview” to “Insider Preview” to reflect the importance of the Windows Insider community in how we’re building Windows 10.
And speaking of Windows Insiders, we were super excited to host the 10 winners of our Windows Insiders to Campus contest in Redmond last week and hear their thoughts on the program and the product. We’ll share more on that soon.
Here is what’s newSome of the things that Joe demoed on stage earlier today during the Build keynote are not yet included in this build and will be in future builds. But we still have a bunch of new stuff for you to check out!
General UX improvements: We made a bunch of UX improvements with the last build and you’ll see even more in this build. For example, you’ll notice a new Live Tile animation for Start in addition to in addition to some performance and stability improvements for Live Tiles.
We’ve done work to better support high DPI displays. And we know many Windows Insiders are running multi-mon setups – often with 2 monitors with different DPI. You will start to see some work we’re doing to make sure core UX components in Windows scale correctly on both your monitors so things look nice regardless of DPI.
We’ve also heard loud in clear that many Windows Insiders want to see Aero Glass from Windows 7 make a comeback. We’ve been working out how to satisfy this request, and are trying some things out with this build to see how you like them. We’re running a little A/B test with this build. 50% of you will normal transparency on the Start menu and taskbar while the other 50% will see a blur effect on the Start menu and taskbar (like frosted glass). If Windows Insiders really like the blur effect, we will add it to more areas and even consider making it the default instead of standard transparency. Which one did you get? Send us feedback about it via the Windows Feedback app!
Even more improvements to Continuum: We’re continuing to make Continuum better and invest in a simplified taskbar. Additionally when you close an application in Tablet mode, we take you back to the Start screen instead of the desktop as you would expect when using a tablet. You will see general polish on snapping, and the shared divider between two snapped windows now let’s you adjust the size.
Multi-tasking improvements: We’re continuing to refine and complete our mulit-tasking experience with Windows 10. Check out Alt-Tab, Task-View, and Snap Assist. Snap Assist also now supports the ability to close a window during Snap Assist.
New default Windows sounds: We’ve heard a lot of feedback from people that they want some fresh system sounds for Windows 10. Check them out and let us know what you think.
Visual refresh for Cortana: You will see a visual refresh for Cortana in this build that makes the experience feel more ingrained into the overall Windows experience. Start and Cortana are now more tightly integrated. As you start to search for an app from within Start, Cortana can seamlessly take over and bring back the right result. The new Windows split view control has been added to Cortana’s left rail, offering quick access to key Cortana functionality like the Notebook, Reminders or Feedback on how Cortana’s doing. This split view control helps anchor Cortana to the rest of the Windows UI and provides navigation consistent with many other Windows first party applications.
New experiences in Cortana: We are making available some new and updated experiences in Cortana powered by Bing Instant Answers. Cortana will aim to answer your question while you’re still typing. Here are a few questions you can try:
Weather – “Seattle Weather”
Finance – “MSFT stock”
Dictionary – “define astounding”
Calculator – “48*92”
Flight Status – “UA 238”
Reference – “how tall is brad pitt”
Showtimes – “movies near me”
Tech Help – “memory in my computer”
Time Zone – “time in London”
Unit Conversion – “42 ft in meters”
Chit Chat – “tell me a joke”
Updates for the Music and Video Preview apps: We’ve also shipped updates to these apps. The Music Preview app (3.6.999.0) has some UX improvements including a more immersive Now Playing experience with a true full screen mode. With the Video Preview app (3.6.999.0) – you can download movies, TV shows, and TV seasons and check progress, pause, resume, cancel the download. You can also download, delete, and even re-download videos as many times as you want on up to three devices (we’re planning to increase the number of devices you can download content too!). Closed captioning for purchased content now appears. You will see a list of new features when you first launch these app after each update!
Xbox app April 2015 update: The Xbox app for Windows 10 has been updated (your version number should be 4.4.9014.0 or higher) with new features like Game DVR for PC games, screenshots, a Live Tile, user profiles, and real-name sharing. Oh and the drivers for Xbox controllers are now included with Windows 10, so you no longer have to download and install controller drivers on Windows 10. For more on this month’s Xbox app for Windows 10 update as well as the new Avatars app – read this blog post.
Windows Store Beta improvements: We’re excited about delivering a single unified Store experience in Windows 10 which we’re talking more about this week at Build. We’ve made some improvements to the Store Beta which is now a blue tile instead of grey. Xbox Live games should be working and so are in-app purchases. Apps you purchased on a PC running Windows 8.1 will now show up in the Store Beta on Windows 10 as owned (and vice-versa). We’re also expanding the Store Beta from 41 markets with the addition of these new markets: Afghanistan, Åland Islands, Albania, Algeria, American Samoa, Andorra, Angola, Anguilla, Antarctica, Antigua and Barbuda, Armenia, Aruba, Azerbaijan, The Bahamas, Bangladesh, Barbados, Belize, Benin, Bermuda, Bahrain, Bhutan, Bolivia, Bonaire, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Botswana, Bouvet Island, Cyprus, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Georgia, Ghana, Guatemala, Iceland, Iraq, Kazakhstan, Malta, Pakistan, Qatar, Sri Lanka, Jordan, Lebanon, Nicaragua, Oman, Panama, Puerto Rico, Paraguay, Trinidad and Tobago, Uganda, Venezuela.
Discovering features and apps in Windows 10: We are investing in easy “bite-sized” learning and discovery experiences so that users can get more out of Windows 10. This ranges from tips and tricks on the Lock screen, to helping users discover high quality apps through Start, the Lock screen and Cortana. Be confident that you won’t miss out on new features and enjoy the ease of having high quality apps curated for you. It’s optional, and if anything doesn’t strike your fancy, you can provide feedback directly, such as whether you like an image or an app. These new experiences will be rolling out over time, so you may not see them in your market yet.
Here are some things we fixed
You can now launch Win32 (desktop) apps from the Start menu again. Sorry about this bug!
You should be able to download music in the Xbox Music and Music Preview apps.
When you minimize an app playing audio, it should continue playing in the background.
Here are some known issues
Developers cannot enable Developer Mode in the Settings app for installing and testing apps on this build. We’ll enable this in an upcoming build. In the meantime, you will need enable your device for development using the Group Policy Editor.
There is an issue in this build preventing some games from playing in full screen mode. We’re working to get a fix out via WU as soon as possible.
The People app continues to crash. We’re planning to release an update for the People app through the Store Beta that fixes this.
We hope you’ll agree that 10074 has some nice improvements and is another step forward towards delivering a great Windows 10 release. Please put it through the paces and keep sending us feedback on the things that you like and the things you want us to keep working on using the Windows Feedback app. I hope that you’ll also download the development tools released at Build and will build some terrific Universal Windows apps as well!
Thanks,
g

When I click on firefox in taskbar, it does not open in a new window and shows previews.

I have firefox 14 and windows 7. firefox is pinned to taskbar. When I click on the firefox icon in taskbar, I want it to open in a separate window and not show preview.

Yes. Thank you. Tutorial solves half the problem. The firefox icon no longer shows previews but I am still unable to open a new window by clicking on it. I would like the icon to open a separate window every time I click on it. Instead, it opens only 1 window. Please help. Thank you.

How to set the default location of a new window in Preview?

Opening a new document in Preview always results in a new window that is located at the upper left of the screen.
I'd like to have all of my Preview documents open in a second monitor, but this doesn't appear possible. Does anyone have any insight to offer?
Thanks.

HI,
Open Preview/Preferences and select the General tab.
You can make a selection there but unfortunately I don't think Preview supports a connected monitor.
But don't give up hope. Go here and post in the Apple Technologies forum. Perhaps a Terminal guru can offer a command to use to do this for you.

How to decide new window position?

Hi
I work a lot in Logic Pro X, but I think this question belongs in the Maverick OSX department.
Every time I open a plug-in window in Logic it defaults to the position in the upper left corner of my cinema display, forcing me to drag the window in center, where I can view best.
How can I tell the system that I want's the window to open in the center of the display and not in the upper left corner?
I have the same problem with Preview!
I go nuts to be forced to do the same thing over and over again!!!!

Hello,
You may disable the options for tab and new window in browser setting. For IE, Go to Tools-> Internet Options->General
Check the settings under tab section
In order to have the settings at global level, please check with network admin to disable the setting for all users.

OPEN IN NEW WINDOW is not working

when I chick on "OPEN IN NEW WINDOW" all I get is a blank page;
This was not a problem in MF3x

I was able to narrow down the add-ons Shareaholic and CoolIris Previews as the culprits in my case. If you have either of these, try disabling them. It solved my problem. My guess is not all add-on publishers have their stuff working in FF 4. In any case using the safe mode and disabling all add-ons, then going through them one-by-one goes a long way to fixing this issue...annoy though it may be.

Preview and TextEdit windows continuously lose focus

Preview and TextEdit windows keep losing focus.
In other words, I select the window, but them moments later it deselects itself (title and traffic light buttons grey out).
The app's menu is still visible (ie it still appears as if Preview or TextEdit is the active app).
But if I do single-app-expose, no windows appear at all and I just see a blank screen (ie as if the app doesn't have any windows open at all).
So it's almost as if the app isn't aware it even has windows open?
Anyone else have this? Any ideas for a fix?

I'm not sure of the name or if it is even accessable from system monitor. I had the same issue with the daemon relanching the app and ended up uninstalling everything until there is a fix. I believe the last update is from 2009 so it's not in active development and chances of an expedited fix aren't great. I wrote an email to axiotron the same day as my oruginal post here and have not received a response yet.
While a complete uninstall is more of a trade off than a solution it may be the only 'fix' for the time being. To uninstall you may need to run an app from within the installation dvd or disk image.
I'm not near my mac right now but will double check some things in a bit and post if I discover anything new and useful. In the mean time you can check for options within your app that may disablethe autostart feature. This doesn't exist in Quickscripts so I was forced to either uninstall or deal with the bug and not use textedit and preview.....I chose to uninstall of course.

Opening a new component/view in new window

Hi there,
I'm sure this question has been asked before, but I can't find it for some reason. I am trying to open a component in a new window using a link. Even opening a different view in a new window would be suffice.
I however read somewhere that some of the past features of "createWindow" only open the new view/component as a Modal.
Please Help.

Michael,
What are you able to do is 2 options only:
1. Open a separate browser window with new WD application / arbitrary url.
2. Open so-called pop-over in same browser window. Well, it is not "pure" window, but it walks & quacks alike
For second option you can use smth. like this:
final IWDWindow window = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createWindow
wdComponentAPI.getComponentInfo().findInWindows("MyWindow"),
true
The latest parameter is "isModal" flag. As of sneak preview it is always should be modal (true).
I'm working with SP6 and it seems to be possible to define this parameter as false, and resulting window really modal-less (I can click on elements outside pop-over).
Regards,
VS

Opening PDF in new window

Hi all
We want to generate a pdf at runtime in new window on click of a button suppose 'Show PDF'. We have written following code using MVC module.
In HANDLE_EVENT for the button we are calling a controller method say 'Preview_PDF' which is generating a pdf and it opens in a new window too.
But at the same time we are getting blank screen or view from where the event is triggered. I want the parent view should remain undisturbed and pdf should open in new window. Please advice where am I going wrong.

Please advice

Capture the generated url for the PDF document into a variable w_url and then use the client click event of the button SHOW PDF to open it in a separate window.
something like this
<htmlb:button id="btn1" onClientClick="window.open(w_url)"
this should open your pdf in a new window.
hope this helps.
Cheers

PDF in Frame - Open Web Link does not open in new window

I actually have 2 problems.
1. Acrobat 7.0.9. Added a link to open a web page. When the pdf is viewed from within a frame on a web page, the web page link in the pdf does not open in a new window but replaces the pdf in the frame.
2. If I download the pdf to my workstation and open it and click on the link, it does open in a new window BUT opens up 2 browser windows where the 2nd one opened is blank (yes, I am single clicking on the link)
Issue 1 occurs in both IE 6, IE 7 and Firefox ?.??

Try Ctrl-Y for preview.

PDF's do not open in new window

I am attempting to open a series of PDF files as part of a
Captivate program using click boxes. Although I have selected "New"
in the pulldown menu, the files open in the same window in which
the SWF file is running. Consequently, if the user closes the file,
the entire program closes.
Any ideas?

Thanks for both replies!!
I'm using Captivate 3.
It is opening in the same window (using IE6). Previously, the
link was to a Word doc, but we wanted to use PDF's to improve user
download speed. I changed the click button hyperlink back to .doc,
and a new window opens for the user as expected.
I haven't yet mentioned that even using PDF's, everything
works fine in preview mode. It seems like there may be a publishing
issue.

Button is not opening URL in a new window

I have set the action and the URL and the NEW window ...but nothing opens in Preview or once published...can you help me?

See if the link below helps with that.

Url iView: passing user/pass as get variables. Launching in new window

Hi,
I pass username and password as get variables from a url iView, and want a page containing this iView to open in a new page using the "Launch in new window" property set to "Display in a separate window".
When previewing the iView or page it is on, it works fine. But when launching it from the detailed navigation, this does not work. A new window is opened, but the user is prompted for username and password.
The page to display is an external site, and we have only got the url with user/pass to access it.
Any ides on what can be wrong?
Best Regards,
Bjorn

Hi,
Using the url in IE works fine. It seems to work everywhere but in the portal menu.
I have the appintegrator in the back of my mind, and will start to have a look at it. We are also considering a OSS message - this must be a bug in the system as far as I can see.
