Stop dreamweaver using split view

Hi all,
I love the fact that dreamweaver CS4 shows included files such as a style sheet when I open the main HTML file, anyone know how to stop dreamweaver using split view when I click on one of these included files? I never use / like split view.
Thanks

That's correct Brad.
Thanks for the tips, especially right clicking to open as a separate file!
I never noticed that it was only splitting the screen when I was in design view.
I do actually use code view more than anything, I write PHP in dreamweaver and that is why I was getting annoyed, sometimes I can have several files included in a single PHP page, and flicking through them was getting annoying if the screen auto split .
I actually discovered vertical split view and I like it a lot! Works really well on my dual monitor setup;code view on the left monitor, design view on the right.
Still think there should be an option to disable auto split.

  • Dreamweaver CS3 Split View Issue

    Hello All,
    I just got the new dreamweaver CS3 and when working in split
    view nothing is refreshing correctly. What I mean is, if I click on
    some text in the design portion of dreamweaver to try and change
    the font, css assignment, or whatever I cannot. I have to click on
    the text, hit refresh (f5) and then the correct information in the
    properties panel shows up. I have the same problem when selecting
    something in the code portion of the split; it does not select the
    portion in the design section. What is the deal? Dreamweaver 8 did
    this fine.
    Anyone else have this problem?
    Alex

    What OS? Does the problem happen with all files and all
    sites, just some,
    or just one?

  • Viewing in split view

    I am having trouble getting dreamweaver to work in split view.  When I click on it nothing happens.  Any suggestions?

    Which version of DW and which operating system?
    Are you opening a HTML file to use Split View?
    There is no Split View (or Design View) with CSS and JS files since they're code only.

  • Vews keps switching to Split View

    I rarely use split view. Mostly just code view and
    occasionally design view. However, quite often Dreamweaver will
    just decide to switch over to split view with out me telling it to.
    When it switches to split view the split is at the bottom, so I
    can't see the design part. I don't want to ever be in split view
    unless I tell it to. Is there any way around this? Has anyone else
    had this issue? By the way I've had this same issue in MX, MX 2004,
    and Version 8 so I don't think it's just my system. I'm currently
    using version 8.

    There are certain operations that require Code View to
    provide the
    necessary feedback, so if you are in Design View, DW switches
    to Split
    View as a compromise of sorts.
    The only way around that is to make note of what operations
    cause DW to
    switch from Design View to Split View, and always perform
    them from Code
    View.

  • Split-view temperment?

    So it seems that me or dw are misinformed in a particular css file. Heres the scoop:
    I have a css file that contains global styles.
    I use split view to edit this file, and watch the results immediately in design view before testing in multiple files.
    For some reason unknown to me... The file in split-view only has started being treated as plain text. In otherwords, I've lost all my code-hinting, and more important for my legibility (because I'm used to it lol) my code coloring.
    I have section-specific css files, and css files for other files being imported to the document.. etc etc... and they all function perfectly in split-view.
    I've checked all the settings that would make sense to me... but alas, I find nothing pertinent or effective...
    Attached you will see the file in question, with no code coloring... and you will see a spry css file with code coloring, etc..
    I hope this all make sense, and I appreciate what advice you can provide!
    Best Regards,
    Dan

    That is pretty strange...
    I am sure as you have written that you have checked all setting but still just to confirm once -
    You have gone to DW preferences and (Edit > Preference) and looked at following sections:
    If already done...any clues of when this actually happend...was it on some command you executed...or all of a sudden...

  • DW code view custom highlight color from design view (split view)

    I would like to change the "Code view" highlight color from it's default to something more contrasty ... so while using "Split view" - when I select an element in "Design View" the corresponding code in "Code view" would be easier to find ...
    Anyone knows how to customize this setting wit DW CS5??
    Thanks!

    DW Code View uses the Selection colors defined for your Operating System.
    If you don't know how to change that, which OS and version are you using?

  • Split view changed

    I am creating a photo book, and I was using split view to place my photos into the photo book.  Originally, the photos I was placing into the book were on the bottom so I could scroll across and place pictures in photo book where I wanted them (photo book was above). 
    Then something changed with the split view, now the photos are on the left hand side and I scroll down to place photos into the photo book on right side of screen.
    This view is extremely fustrating and I can not figure out how to get split view back to the original format. The other issue is that with this "newly" formated split view I can not use the pictures more than once, with the "old" split view I could use a individual photo more than once to use for background etc...
    If someone knows how to change the split view format please, help.  I do not understand how this changed and I can not get it back.
    Thanks!
    Happy Aperture User!

    Aperture is large, complex, and powerful.  Before using it to store or manipulate any valuable data files, you should read and understand at least the first seven chapters of the User Manual.  The UI and the general workflow are laid out pretty well.  Spend some time with it, and ask here for clarification of things that don't make sense to you.
    (Added:)
    The chapter on using the Book Album to create Books is here.

  • Split view pausing when updating code

    HI, I love split view, can live without it, but in the latest version 5 and up, it seems when i change the code in code view side, the wysiwyg side pauses for a few seconds to update what i've changed, almost flashes asif reloading, maybe it is, but it seemed to do this more seemlessly, I could go back and forth and updates were instant. I am not in live view, that takes even longer when changes to the code view are done.
    Just curious is there are ways to speed this up, or anything anyone has run into that causes the split view window to pause when changes are made.
    It only happens, in split view, and i update something in code view, even just text <p> and when i click back to the wyysiwyg side, it pauses for a few seconds before reflecting the change.

    Yes, same scenario, when I click back to design view, it usually updates quickly, but now it takes 3-5 seconds before it refreshes. It's noticeable, and hard to work with when I am updating alot of content peices,
    I've tried other sites thinking maybe it has something to do with related files or something, but same thing, Its noticeable, but I can't seem to figure out when it started or why. Been using split view since it was available, always quite fast... I don;t have any data connections, or testing servers setup that could cause lag. I hope its a simple toggle of something I inadvertently toggled? 

  • How do I change Dreamweaver CC default view from split to code?!

    In Dreamweaver CC, everytime I edit a .html file it defaults to the split view; I want it to open everything in code view! I have tried EDIT>PREFERENCES>FILE TYPES/EDITORS and added it to the open in code view option. But when I do this there is no option to switch between code-split-design when editing the file. I just want it to open everything into code view by default. I never had this problem with any other version of Dreamweaver and its driving me insane. I am only trying CC but this is a deal breaker for me, I would rather keep using CS6 if I cant get this changed. Please help! Thanks.

    This is Adobe. They are too busy adding really obscure features to worry about your ability to control the work interface simply.
    I too have this problem.
    I think however, the best way would be for us to exchange lives as I have code view as the default and cant change that.
    I think it would be simpler for us to exchange lives then it would be for adobe to fix the problem with their live cloud based software that you cant own and constantly reminds you of that fact by forcing you to register your product again and again.
    No point in troubling their development staff who all seem to live in India even though I thought Adobe was a US company.
    I hear they are busy with a module that allows people that use SASS and LESS at the same time as Fluid grids to make tea remotly thats dispensed via the USB 3.0 socket of any SkyLake equipped 14nm processor based laptop.
    Im holding my breath.
    Meanwhile, i'll send you a letter with my address so you can move to my address and take up my identity and me vice versa. I think the letter will be faster than using this forum as I see this responce has already taken Adobe 2 years to ignore it and not sort it out.

  • How do I stop Dreamweaver from replaceing " with È while in code view

    Here is my problem (DWCS5 Version):
    I open DreamWeaver and all is fine. I only use code view.
    As I work I might open .cfm files, or even (it seems) open a browser - and when I return to writing my code, when I type " Dreamweaver types È
    " is typed as È
    ' is typed as è
    The only way to stop is is close Dreamweaver and reopen. Then the coding works great for that file until I visit another file I opend or even a browser that was open. It's not every file that I open or page that I visit. I've yet to determine what is happening.
    It feels like dreamweaver is somehow changing character sets.
    For example, DreamWeaver is currently messed up replacing characters, but it works fine filling out this post.
    Help!

  • Dreamweaver closing when split view selected

    I'm seeking assistance with the following issue:
    I been using Dreamweaver MX 2004 for 2 years and now whenever
    I click on split view to view a file the application closes
    automatically without any warning. This is a recent occurance. The
    only modifications to my machine have been in the form of Microsoft
    XP updates but I don't believe that any of the recent updates I
    have installed should affect using the "split" feature in
    Dreamweaver. I've tried unstalling, rebooting then reinstalling
    Dreamweaver with no luck. Has anyone else experienced this problem
    or have any information as to how to fix it?
    Best,
    Tyler

  • Dreamweaver 5.5 and split view

    Split view doesn't work in Dreamweaver 5.5, was working but now it's not. Did I hit something to make it stop working, or do I need to reinstall. On a Mac 10.6.7.

    CS5 and CS5.5?
    Yes, no problem at all.

  • Aperture stopped showing pictures in viewer and split view

    Suddenly Aperture 3 has stopped showing any pictures in viewer and split view (except for the bottom fim strip) but I can see them all in browser view. I have tried using Aperture Repair and have reset Aperture (using Clean My Mac to delete the user setup files). I also tried creating a new library with just a few files to see if the size of the library was an issue. I also tried opening the libraries in iPhoto and have the same result. I can browse the minatures but not open the larger pictures. 
    The only thing I have yet to try is to delete and reinstall Aperture. But since iPhoto has the same problem, I don't see how that would be the issue.
    Aperture is version 3.5.1, OS is OSX 10.9.2.

    I would have to redo the cleanmymac step but essentially it is like creating a new install before using the app.
    If you do not know, what exactly will be uninstalled, by a general cleaning application, don't use it. That is risky.
    Using a different user account makes no difference.
    That means, you are having a system wide problem. Fixing your Aperture library or settings in your account will probably not help.
    First thing to try, reinstall Aperture.
    And if that does not bring your split view back, reinstall Mavericks. You may have missing caches and necessary configuration files, since iPhoto is having the same problem.
    Did you run CleanMyMac to uninstall other applications, before the problem first occured? Usually it is much safer, to use only the uninstaller, that come with an application. Otherwise, you are risking to uninstall items needed by other applications or the system.
    To reinstall MacOS X 10.9.2, boot into OS X Recovery, see this document:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718

  • Custom Split views don't work like the use to pre- Project 2010

    Hi
    Either we've lost some functionality along the way, or there must be another way of doing the following...
    Up until and including version 2007, I was able to create multiple custom split views in a file (or global.mpt) where the I could specify a different Task Form (e.g., "Predecessors & Successors" or the "Work") depending on which custom
    split view I selected.
    In 2010 and 2013, you have to manually select the Task From you want; the custom split view won't can help you get the specific Task Form you want ((e.g., "Predecessors & Successors", "Work").  At least that has been my experience...
    does anyone have a solution apart from needing to write a VBA event handler?
    Thanks in advance,
    \Spiro Theopoulos PMP, MCITP. Montreal, QC (Canada)

    I agree with Dale. Project remembers the last set of details applied in form views such as Task Form. Using VBA event handlers you can change this behavior.
    1. Open the project file on which this change should be applied.
    2. In the View ribbon, click Macro command and select Visual Basic
    3. If you want the details displayed in the Task Form to be applied to the current file, double click "ThisProject" node under the VBAProject(your file name) or else double click "ThisProject" node under ProjectGlobal (Global.MPT)
    4. Paste below lines in the Project_Open event handler. Save the code.
    Private Sub Project_Open(ByVal pj As Project)
        ViewApplyEx ApplyTo:=1, BuiltInView:=pjViewTaskForm
        WindowActivate TopPane:=False
        ViewShowPredecessorsSuccessors
    End Sub
    5. You can replace the last statement ViewShowPredecessorsSuccessors with another statement that is compatible with Task Form view
