Property Inspector in Design View (Mac Os X)

I don't think the new Property Inspector is working .. at least not on Mac Os X.
For one thing, when you select, say, four labels, in the design view and then search for "opaque" -- you can't change the opacity on all the selections anymore! You have to change each property separately..
Second, why use a drop down list for editing boolean properties. What happened to the check box?

Hi,
don't remember having seen a checkbox for the boolean value in the PI. Which technology are you talking about ? ADF Faces or Swing ? I assume Swing, but you don't say it and I don't want to follow up on wild guessing

Property Inspector list view?

In Dreamweaver 8 Help, under the topic "Making HTML
attributes dynamic," it says:
"If the attribute you want to bind does not have a folder
icon next to it, click the List tab (the lower of the two tabs) on
the left side of the inspector. The Property inspector’s List
view appears."
I can't seem to find any sort of List tab -- or any tab, for
that matter -- on the left side of the Property Inspector. Is this
Help topic wrong?
(I thought initially that maybe it meant to say Tag Inspector
instead of Property Inspector, but the Help topic then goes on to
mention the List view's "(+) button"; there's no such button in the
Tag Inspector's List view, so that's not it either.)

You add it in the pageDef:

Help! Can't paste into code view or property inspector

I'm experiencing a weird and extremely annoying bug in Dreamweaver CS6 -- I can't paste text from outside apps into DW's code view or into the property inspector (such as URLs).
Pasting doesn't work no matter the method: Ctrl + V, right-clicking or using the Edit menu. Pasting works normally in every other program. If I copy within Dreawmweaver, pasting works fine.
Does anyone have a solution for this? I'm running Win 8 and DW 12.1 through Creative Cloud. Searching the forums, I see others have reported the same issue. Some have been able to fix it by deleting the configuration file; that didn't fix the issue for me. I'd like to try reinstalling DW, but the Adobe Application Manager doesn't seem to allow that.
I began noticing this bug about two weeks ago. That might have been about the same time I updated to 12.1. Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Cory K.

Adding to my last post, I used a clipboard format inspector called nclip (http://code.google.com/p/nclip/) to see if I could find a pattern between "what works" and "what doesn't".
There are two cases where I'm seeing paste-into-Dreamweaver CS6 fail:
Paste into Code View fails, but Paste into Design View works!
Paste into either Code View or Design View fails
I went through the list of programs that worked and didn't worked, using nclip to show what clipboard formats were being saved from each working and non-working source. It appears that DreamWeaver CS6 as of January 9, 2013 doesn't accept the most basic text clipboard formats:
CF_UNICODETEXT
CF_TEXT
CF-OEMTEXT
CF_LOCALE
If these are the only clipboard formats used by an app (for example, Window's venerable Notepad.exe), Dreamweaver doesn't appear to handle them. Most programmer-style text editors output just these formats, because they are presumed to be understood any application that handles text. These fail for both pasting into codeview and design view.
Interestingly, Chrome browser fails the code view test, but it does work in design view! It outputs the four clipboard types above, plus one more:
Custom Format: HTML Format
Hypothesis 1: Any application that puts HTML Format on the clipboard will paste into design view, but not necessarily code view.
Next, Visual Studio 2010 and Sticky Notes, which doesn't include HTML Format as a clip type, works for both code view and design view. They both output this type in addition to the basics:
Custom Format: Rich Text Format
Two programs that output Rich Text Format without HTML Format are Sticky Notes and WordPad. These both work with Code View and Design View. From these limited tests on my system, it appears that for Dreamweaver to accept a text paste from an outside program into Code View, that program must output Rich Text Format to the clipboard. Otherwise, it fails. Dreamweaver will accept HTML Format, but only in Design View. Firefox is an exception in that it don't export Rich Text Format, but still works with Code View. It might use OLE, though (Chrome doesn't seem to use OLE, and it breaks in code view).
Hypothesis 2: Any application that puts Rich Text Format on the clipboard will paste into design view AND code view.
If Dreamweaver is really ignoring the basic text clipboard formats, and it's not just my system configuration, then this is a bug. Probably something that got overlooked in testing.
To reproduce on Dreamweaver 12.1 build 5966:
Try copy/pasting text from Notepad.exe into Dreamweaver Code View (DWCV). This fails for me.
Try copy/pasting text from WordPad.exe into DWCV. This works!
Try copy/pasting text from Internet Explorer 9 or Firefox into DWCV. This works!
Try copy/pasting text from Chrome. This fails to paste into Code View, but does paste into Design View
The Code View workaround:
Use Firefox or Internet Explorer for your browser if you're copy/pasting source code.
If you're working from another text editor, try copy/pasting into intermediate programs Sticky Notes or WordPad, then copy/paste from there into Dreamweaver.
So that is my experience on Windows 7 64-bit. Anyone else experiencing the same thing?

Property inspector goes blank and can't edit in design mode

I have the property inspector open but it is completely blank. This has never happened before and I have no idea how to get it back. In addition to that I have the view split between code and design but can not edit in design.

Design View Refresh doesn't work on mac CC

Hi Y'all, I'm having horrible trouble with Dreamweaver CC on mac, (10.8) quad core, 32GB RAM...
when highlighting something in design view, it does not highlight the respective code anymore like the older versions used to.
and the design view refresh does not work at all.
I've completely uninstalled, reinstalled, checked all system fonts for problems, I can't get this problem fixed, and I'm going to have to ditch CC and go back to old version, to be able to work!
here's a video showing the problem I am having:
http://youtu.be/HHSpyc2Icrw
thanks in advance for any help!

I've just watched your video, and it's clear that you're having problems. The only obvious difference between your setup and mine is that you are using horizontal split view. So, I've just tested on my MacBook Air. Refresh and highlighting work just fine in both horizontal and vertical split view.
I realize that saying "well it's OK here" isn't much help, but your problems seem to have some other cause than simply having updated to the latest version of Dreamweaver CC.
Hopefully an Adobe staff member can intervene and draw your problem to the attention of an engineer. It would be useful to know if this happens on all pages, and all sites, or if there's something special about your current setup.

Dreamweaver CS6 for Mac: Is there a way to display the file path in Design View?

Under Windows, DW's Design View shows you the path to the current file, right next to the document tab. I noticed the Mac version omits this handy feature. For those of us who work with lots of similarly named files distinguished only by folders, being able to quickly see what folder we're in is crucial. (see image below -- that's where Windows shows you the path, but is blank in Mac)
Is there something I'm missing, or some way to get that functioning? I know that I can see the path if I switch to Live View, but that is kludgy and breaks my workflow.

I use CoderPlus workspace & tabbed panels. For me, the file url is on the far right side. See screenshot.
If you click the "Page Icon" in upper right corner to tile, the URL shows on the left side.

Going back to Flash builder 4 on Mac because of the design view

I've got installed the Flash builder 4.6 in a Mountain Lion Mac.
I have imported a project that I did some years ago with Flex 3. Everything seems to be ok until I try to see the design view. I can't see anything, it is just empty. I know that it is not necessary but it helps me a lot.
I've been searching in this forum and my conclusion is that I've got to go back to Flash Builder 4.
I would be very grateful if anyone could help me with the next questions:
1- Can I work with Flas Builder 4 with my current serial from flash builder 4.6?
2- Should I uninstall 4.6 before using 4?
Thanks!

Hi Chris
Thanks for your reply.
I had already seen that post, and the answers were not applicable to me. But thankfully I have found the solution now!
I Googled the error message: "org.apache.xerces.dom.DeferredElementImpl.getTextContent()Ljava/lang/ String", and came across the following bug report:
http://code.google.com/p/alkwarel/issues/detail?id=10
As suggested in the link above, I deleted the xerces.jar located in user.home/Library/Java/Extensions/. I then cleaned my project, and FB4 for Mac finally exported the release build!
That bug has been annoying me for MONTHS. I'm so happy it's fixed now!
All the best,
Zabeen

Try to view node properties in Property Inspector

I've nodes extends CustomTextNode and a CustomEditor for this nodes.
now i'm trying view some details in property inspector.
I saw that i need to do something like this in extension.xml
<property-inspector-hook xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/ide/extension">
<inspectable-factories>
<inspectable-factory class=""/>
</inspectable-factories>
<property-form-layouts>
<property-form-layout property-model-class="">
<category-layout id="" title="${GENERAL}">
<display-group id="">
<property id=""/>
</display-group>
</category-layout>
</property-form-layout>
</property-form-layouts>
</property-inspector-hook>
i tried this but when node open, i saw changes in the title of the property inspector but then the title say "property inspector" again and nothing really happen.
is there any example about how to implement a property inspector with own nodes?
Thanks.

Thanks Mike. It's always nice to know when it's a bug and not
one's
imagination.

Problem with property refresh in code view

I am suddenly noticing a problem in CS3 (v 9.0 build 3481),
OSX 10.4.11. In Code view (NOT Split view), any change to the code
causes the property inspector to display the message "You have made
changes to the code. To edit selection properties click refresh or
press F5".
It is my understanding that this feature is intended to
refresh the Design view when working in Split mode. I have not used
DW much in the last few weeks, but I never recall having this come
up before, and I work in code view quite a bit. Also, possibly
related, the tag selector strip at the bottom goes blank at the
same time the message appears in the property inspector.
This will be a significant impediment if it continues. Am I
crazy and it's always been this way, or is there a bug or setting
that I've inadvertently changed? I understand why refreshing is
necessary in Split view but I cannot see what purpose this could
possibly serve in Code view.

This is how it's always been for me with both DW 8 and DW CS3
for Windows. Can't say with regard to the Mac versions.

Select an Image? Proportional Resize in the Property Inspector?

I'm working in Dreamweaver CS 4 on a Mac. My problem is that I want to resize a jpeg while keeping it's proportions but I can't select it (so that the resize handles appear). When I click on it, I end up selecting the div it's wrapped in (or a div further out in the code). I can select it in the code, but the resize handles still don't appear - just the info in the property inspector shows. So I have two questions:
1. Is there a keyboard shortcut that helps you "drill down" to select the item you're looking for - like in some print layout programs where you can hit a few buttons while clicking on it with the mouse and it keeps giving you lower and lower objects?
2. Is there a way to change size in the property inspector where the proportions remain constant?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Max

That's a cool trick - only specifying the width - thanks!
(Eventuallly, I would resize the image in PS so it would not require the browswer to do resizing for me).
In answer to your question, pziecina, no - it's not a background image.
One of the images has a z-index specified because I thought that might help, but it didn't.

MHR was asked to fix a “spongy” area of the floor by the bathtub in a tenant-occupied, rental apartment.
    <p>Once opened, it became clear that the spongyness was a symptom of structural damage done during installation of original plumbing. Sections of load bearing joists had been removed to make room for plumbing, leaving the floor system with critical structural deficiencies.
      Sponginess was caused by the separation in the toilet waste flange during flushing. </p>
    <p> Structure had to be reengineered but replacing the floor joists entirely would have been prohibitively expensive and time consuming. Instead, MHR shouldered the broken part of floor from the apartment beneath and then added posts in the basement which carried the load all the way down to the basement concrete slab. <strong>This re-enginneared design provided a level of structural integrity that exceeded building code requirements and was far less expensive than any alternative approach.</strong></p>

Can't edit in Design View

When I click Live View, I can see my page, and it shows up in a browser just fine, but I can't edit in that mode. However, when I click Live View again, I just get a gray, blank page with the tag, meta, sytle, script, and link icons at the top left. I've been tinkering with it for the last two hours, and nothing I try is getting the page to appear in Design, or Split view. It's driving me nuts. Any suggestions?

Here's the code.

Be aware that the CSS for these layouts is heavily commented. If you do most of your work in Design view, have a peek at the code to get tips on working with the CSS for the liquid layouts. You can remove these comments before you launch your site. To learn more about the techniques used in these CSS Layouts, read this article at Adobe's Developer Center - http://www.adobe.com/go/adc_css_layouts .</p>
    Layout
    Since this is a one-column layout, the .content is not floated.
    Logo Replacement
    An image placeholder was used in this layout in the .header where you'll likely want to place a logo. It is recommended that you remove the placeholder and replace it with your own linked logo.
Be aware that if you use the Property inspector to navigate to your logo image using the SRC field (instead of removing and replacing the placeholder), you should remove the inline background and display properties. These inline styles are only used to make the logo placeholder show up in browsers for demonstration purposes.
To remove the inline styles, make sure your CSS Styles panel is set to Current. Select the image, and in the Properties pane of the CSS Styles panel, right click and delete the display and background properties. (Of course, you can always go directly into the code and delete the inline styles from the image or placeholder there.)

Property inspector not loading

Hi
Newbie question. I am reviewing a mapping and want to see the join criteria between two objects. I'm told it's displayed in the Property Inspector, but for some reason the Property Inspector wont load when I go to View > Property Inspector. Nothing happens! All the other toolbars etc load fine.
Would this be a security issue?
Cheers

Hi,
Your OWB design client layout would have been changed. Delete the OWB preferences from your client PC and restart the design center.
Path to the OWB preferences is as shown below:
c:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\OWB
You can delete the system* folder in this directory and restart the design center.

Property inspector not working in fireworks

Hi folks,
I am using Fireworks CS 5.1 on a MAC Pro. I haven't used Fireworks in ages but I can't for the life of me figure out where the Property Inspector has gone. I'm creating a very simple button. I put a simple line of text on my page, a box and a line. I have selected each one and then clicked the Windows menu and clicked Properties. The Properties box appears but it has nothing in it. Doesn't seem to matter what I click on there are no properties showing up.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Sylvia

A lot of glitches in Fireworks can be solved by deleting the preferences file. First you will have to make sure your Library folder is viewable and you are accessing the root folder on your hard drive. In recent releases of Mac OS, it is hidden by default.
First, show your Hard Drive by following these directions:
In the Finder, choose Preferences from the Finder menu.
Click the General icon on the toolbar.
Select "Hard disks" in the "Show these items on the desktop:" section.
Close the Finder Preferences window.
Next, you'll have to unhide the library folder by following these instructions:
In the Finder, choose View > Show View Options (or press Command-J).
Near the bottom of the resulting View-Options palette is a setting called Show Library Folder. Enable this option. Your Library folder is immediately visible.
In that folder, find the Preferences folder. Then in the preferences folder, find the file with this name (or similar): "com.adobe.Fireworks.12.0.0.plist" and delete it.
Restart your machine and Fireworks and your problem may be solved.

Property Inspector for Locked Content Doesn't Set Content Dirty

I have a property inspector for my locked content. When the
user sets a new value in the inspector, the orig attribute of the
MM:BeginLock tag is updated appropriately. Unfortunately,
Dreamweaver doesn't see that change as having modified the document
in a meaningful way, so it doesn't enable the Refresh Design View
buttons. Hitting F5, the hotkey for Refresh Design View, has no
effect.
Do you have a suggestion how I can make Dreamweaver think the
content is modified?

Help Getting CS6 DreamWeaver to Allow Me to Set HTML Settings in Property Inspector

Hi,
Another quesiton regarding table layout. As I often am designing email newsletters, I still need easy ways to set old fashioned HTML elements without messing with CSS (alignment, etc) - it just works better for me for email blasts to code in HTML, plus Outlook still doesn't follow CSS very well in HTML emails.
After moving to CS6 on a Mac, I can't get the property inspector to allow me to edit HTML Cell properties in the property inspector. Everything is grayed out. I'm sure this is some setting somewhere but I can't find it. In Preferences I do have "HTML instead of CSS" set. Note that in CS6 on my PC I AM able to edit these fields and change alignment and other cell propertie.s But, see below, on the Mac, everything is grayed out and I can't edit anything.
It's got to be a setting somewhere. How do you over ride CS6 insistance on CSS and HTML blocking and go back to ability to set HTML properties in the property inspector? There has to be something set different on my PC install than my Mac install but I can't figure out what, as I personally don't remember changing anything and both are brand new installs of CS6, and both are editing the same file.
HELP! Thanks!

Hi Nancy,
Thanks so much for the response, and I understand CS6 is more standards compliant, but they did NOT remove the ability to make these changes. You’re missing that I AM able to change and edit in the property inspector to my hearts content in CS6 on my WINDOWS install. See this screen shot – I can click in the property inspector for a cell and change alignment, etc, and CS6 happily makes the code (like it should) for me. But on the MAC, it’s grayed out per my original post. There is a setting I’m missing that I can’t find, or does CS6 Mac not work like CS6 Windows? Something doesn’t add up.
