Stopped putting related files in CS4

When I would upload files to my server, CS4 used to put related files as well (images, stylesheets, scripts). It suddenly stopped doing that and I can't figure out what setting needs to be changed to get it to continue doing that.
Can anyone help?

You must have disabled the Dependant files prompt.

How do I see related files in CS4?

In the past we used Websphere for file management and Dreamweaver to edit the files. We have moved one of our sites to Dreamweaver CS4 to manage. I am looking for an option to view the files that are linked to from other files in my site. In Websphere, there was a relations view. This view listed all the files that were linked to from the file I selected. Is this option available in Dreamweaver?

Thank you for your response, but no the link checker is not what I am looking for. Let's say I want to see all files in my site that home.html links to without opening the actual file. I guess that might be an easier way to describe it. I think maybe it was a site map feature in past versions.

Actual and relative file paths - CS4(mac)

Is there a way to save your file so that it ALWAYS looks for the relative paths of all its content?
My issue is that when i xfer the prproj file to another computer it asks me to reconnect everything. The other computer has exactly the same folder structure as the one i'm copying from minus a different harddrive name. (I just copied and pasted the whole project from computer to computer).
Its really getting to become a huge hassle....any work around and whatnot would be great....thanks!

I deal with this often (yesterday in fact). Things get ugly when you try to re-link a project that has media placed in multiple folders within the main project folder. Even worse when there are a hundred cryptically named P2 mxf files.
Try this:
Open the *.prproj file in Notepad and do an "Edit" "Find" for the word: filepath
Keep searching down till you get a drive letter.
This will show the original drive letter the project was last saved with.
To save time, and avoid relinking everything, do one of the following two... your choice:
1.) Do a find and replace in Notepad of a short "phrase" of code containing the original drive letter, in the document. Replace it with the identical phrase containing the currently assigned drive letter.
For Example:
Find: <FilePath>E:\
Replace With: <FilePath>G:\
OR:
2.) After noting the original drive letter in the *.prproj file by doing the "filepath" search in Notepad, simply assign the original drive letter back to the drive in "Computer Management"/"Storage"/Disk Management.
*WARNING: Premiere is unforgiving of even the slightest error in a *.prproj file.
ALWAYS EDIT A COPY OF YOUR PROJECT IN NOTEPAD

How to deactivate Related Files in Dreamweaver CS4 (totally)

Hello,
how can I deactived the Related Files feature (not only the Bar).
We work directly on the Server. We don't want Dreamweaver to donwload the related files and save them back!
Our wish is that Dreamweaver CS4 save only the file we have open (without the related files).
Axel Neswadba

When you use "Save" with Related Files, whichever document (either the main document in the Design View, or the Related File in Code VIew) that has focus is saved.
You can disable Related Files in the Preferences General Tab. You will need to shutdown and restart DW for the change to take efffect.
HTH,
Randy

Finder has stopped putting my folders and files in alpha order. What happened?

Finder has stopped putting my folders and files in alpha order. What has happened?

When you check and reset that file setting back to alphabetical order, does it stick?
Sometimes a user permissions issue may cause a slight problem, so if this is the
only issue, you could try to 'repair disk permissions' in Disk Utility, However if there
is some other problem and this is only a symptom, something else may be the cause.
If files have been moved between user accounts, then previous account settings &
user permissions may be included with the moved file, so this matter may require
you to look into the settings within each file, via Get Info on the highlighted file name.
You can change permissions and privileges to some extent within this area.
And at times, a simple restart may be required, if the unit has been on awhile. Given
a portable computer, unlike a desktop, your use may not include leaving it on for
months at a time; so it probably has been restarted more than occasionally. Mine,
set to automatically sleep & spin-down the HDD when not in use, is up for months.
Good luck & happy computing!

Dreamweaver CS2 stopped putting files

Dreamweaver CS2 (Toshiba, XP Home) stopped putting files
using either up-arrow or Ctrl+Shift+U put command. After both
repair, then uninstall-reinstall, same symptoms. Deleting or
renaming remote file on server in side-by-side view, followed by
drag-drop of modified file does upload, but any attempt to upload
with overwrite is failing...without error message. The dialog
appears, disappears normally...but nothing happened on the server
(godaddy...they checked their end to be sure). Referring to common
HTML, JS text files, etc.
Suggestions anyone?
Thanks, Doug ([email protected])

It's a common problem that people run into with FTP issues.
Unfortunately, rather than walking someone through the steps it is
easier just to point point people to the KB articles they need
because sometimes files or preferences get corrupted and they just
need to be fixed which was obviously the case that there was an
issue with the site preferences not working.

Encore CS4 never stops importing a file

Hi @all,
I have got a serious problem with Ncor CS4. I want to import an m2v file (5,6GB). Ncor imports it, the progress bar goes up to 100% but then it restarts to import the file and it takes again 5 Minutes, then, at 100% it restarts again and so on. It never stops importing the file.
When I hit the cancel button, Ncor crashes immediately.
Does anybody know a solution for this really annoying problem?
My system is:
C2duo @ 3 Ghz
3,5 GB ram
Win XP SP3

Well, in the meanwhile, I have read here that nvidia graphic cards may cause the problem, so I updated the driver (Nvidia GeForce 8600GTS). Then I deleted the Media Cache directory within the registry and I could import the file for the first time. But then, when I tried to add chapters, Encore crashed.
So I restarted Encore and again I could not import the file due to the infinite loop. The Media Cache directory was there again.
It can't be, that I have to delete something out of the registry everytime I want to use the program. That's really disappointing.
Well, 3.5GB is normal for a 32 bit XP system when you use 4GB ram. XP is only able to address 3.5GB out of 4GB - that's why. It is hard to say how different my PC is - I would say, it is quite standard - I have no plugins and other applications. The only hardware I installed was an E-MU 0404 Soundcard. But that's it...
I even tried it, using a completely new image (purely fresh Win XP SP3, no other software) installed Encore CS4 and had the same problem.

How to stop DW putting Dependant Files?

I've never found a solution that's worked for me, but today
I've had enough!
I have setup site access via RDS, so there is no 'Local' set
of files, I'm working directly on our development server and saving
the files, and testing changes immediately.
I like to save often and keep checking my changes so that I
don't break anything, but everytime I save, DW spends 20+ seconds
putting dependant files.
My dreamweaver preferences for dependent files are set to
Prompt, which it certainly isn't doing.
How can I resolve this? thanks.

As long as you use an FTP & RDS site, there is no such
thing as PUT. There
is no local site. Edits are immediately saved on the server.
But - check your preferences for Site and make sure that the
PROMPT on
PUT/GET is ENABLED. Then save, and when prompted make sure
you a) click the
don't show again, and b) you click NO. Does that help?

Editing CSS, related files requires save (cs4)

You know what really Grinds My Gears? (family guy reference,
lol)
When I edit the CSS in the right hand panel, sometimes it
makes the CSS file in the Related Files toolbar not saved with a *
next to the filename. Sometimes it goes ahead and just saves the
changes right away. Like most, I'm constantly switching back/forth
between browsers so CSS has to be saved to see changes.
Kindofa pain to have to click the css file in the related
toolbar and Ctrl+S to save before each preview...I haven't been
able to find out why it "dirties" the CSS file sometimes and other
times it directly saves to the CSS file.
Does anyone have any ideas? How to get it to always just save
to the file?
thanks

avibodha,
Ah! Thanks for the additional details. I see what is causing
this behavior.
When a document is opened, DW determines what the Related
Files are, so
it can show the list of buttons for each one. But, for the
sake of
performance, we do not actually load the files until you
click on a
button to view a file. Note that the file may already be
loaded as a
top-level document or as a Related File of some other
document.
Since you have the "Open CSS files when modified" setting
turned off,
then the CSS gets automatically saved to disk *if* the file
has not yet
been loaded. Once the file has been loaded, then DW will not
automatically save it (to avoid writing something on disk
that you don't
want written).
So, you'll need to disable the Related Files feature to have
DW always
automatically save the CSS to disk.
HTH,
Randy

Lost option to upload related files when using testing server.

I used to get a dialogue box when I was previewing files on my local machine using my localhost testing server setup. It was kind of annoying having to click yes every time. Last week I accidentally clicked the don't show this anymore box and now when I preview a site on my localhost related files and updated files are not uploaded. I have to manually upload the css, php, and any other related files to the testing server's folder.
I tried deleting preferences, re-installing Dreamweaver CS4, and everything else I can think of but I can't get this option back. Is there some way, other than using the same folder for the testing server and the site to avoid this problem?
Thanks.

DW CS5 Missing Related Files Problem

Hello
Hoping somebody may be able to help me with a missing related files problem in CS5. I've tried Adobe phone support but they couldn't solve the problem.
*Some* of my sites (but not all) are not showing all the files related to that page. My pages are typically in .asp vb server model and contain .asp virtual includes (header, nav etc) plus .js and .css linked files
However DW is only showing the .asp includes as related files and not css or js ones. In design view the CSS is displaying correctly, and all styles appear in the CSS inspector but not showing as a related file in the bar. In CS4 it works fine.
I've tried deleting the site and recreating it, copying the files to a new folder and setting up a fresh site, creating a new folder and downloading all files from the remote server but no joy. I've also tried refreshing related files. if I click on the filter in the bar it only shows the asp includes and nothing else.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated, this is a great feature when it works
Cheers
MB

UPDATE:
Managed to solve this problem, this is a new issue to DW CS5, previous versions do not seem to exhibit this problem
It occurs when you use site root rather than document relative paths for js/css etc files AND don't have the remote site url (web url) specified in the site setup | local info dialog, or do not have it fully qualified with http://
ie. ../js/file.js works fine without a remote web url but /js/file.js does not show the related file in the bar unless a remote url is defined.
Hope that helps anyone else that encounters the same issue!

Can't open canon raw files in cs4

I recently had to rebuild my pc after a problem that stopped a few of my programs working (I'd installed xampp so I could use wordpress on the pc but it stopped cs4, firefox, video studio and a bunch of other stuff working - removal and reinstalling did no use, I had to build a new disc).
I reinstalled cs4 and got all the updates but now I find I can't open can raw files with cs4 or bridge. I tried replacing the Camera Raw.8bi file with the latest file from adobe as per their web instructions but it still doesn't work. So I tried the adobe dng convertor (version 8.3) and ran the files through that, still no luck, I can't open the files.
I could open them wwith canons own software and save as a tiff, but then I'm losing a lot of information.
I'm still running vista home premium - no I can't upgrade to windows 8.1 and use the latest photoshop and lightroom software because 8.1 doesn't work with my nikon scanner or my epson large format printer. It doesn't like a few other items I have either.
I remember I had to download a few files a couple of years ago when I first bought the pc (a whole 3 years ago) as I was having trouble with photoshop and raw files then but I can't remember the name of the file or where I got it from.
Anyone able to help? much appreciated if you can.

Hi John,
Adobe told me to replace the relevant file, which I did. The trouble is that went I do this then 'camera raw' disappears from the 'help / plugins' list and there doesn't seem to be any way of getting back other than uninstalling and reinstalling cs4, and once I do this it overwrites the files again...
I can't remember having this trouble when I first installed it a couple of years ago but I do seem to remember having to replace a file somewhere but that may have been on an earlier version.
I have an old EOS 5d mk1 & a 7d mk1, so it's not as though the camera is unknown to cs4.
Regards,
Doug

How do I get all the dynamically related files to show when working with wordpress files in DW?

I have set up MAMP on my Mac and have set up a user in phpmyadmin. I have downloaded wordpress and put it in the mamp folder. I have defined the site at MAMP/htdocs in Applications. I have started to look at the files through the index.php files near the root folder. I pressed 'discover' underneath the document tab to discover dynamically related files. However, this only results in five extra files being shown in the document tab as can be seen in the screen shot provided. Apparently I should have loads to play with. What am I doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Josh

Keep getting error message about Dynamically-related files when trying to view in "Live" mode

I'm very new to all of this, but I have been following Adobe tutorials to try and get everything working (Setting up a PHP development environment for Dreamweaver | Adobe Developer Connection) . The database connection test in this section goes through fine, but then when I go to view the final step, viewing comments.php in "Live View," I get an error across the top. I have played with it a bit, so the error message changes somewhat, but basically it tells me that I have dynamically-related files that can't be loaded. Currently, it is because they can't be resolved, previously, it was because they could not be discovered. (I tried the "Discover" option which failed, after which I resorted to the "Setup" option, in which I changed my root folder from htcdocs to htcsdocs/kitchengallery — where I had all my PHP and site files — and tried again to no avail. So then I changed the settings in MAMP to correspond with the change from htcdocs to htcdocs/kitchengallery. Still no luck).
I am using Dreamweaver CS6.
I'm not sure what information someone might need to help me dig deeper into this issue, but I'm all ears!

Usually this is caused when antivirus "Grabs" the drive to scan it in the background, and/or windows itself "Grabs" the drive for indexing and things. It also happens if you play a song off the ipod thru iTUnes, then stop it.
Usually rebooting will force it to let go

Html files with included php: related files, code color?

Hi there,
Wow, what an active forum!
I have two questions about html files that include php.
Almost all my html files have this structure:
<?php
(php stuff)
require_once 'somefile.php';
?>
(html stuff)
My first question is, is there any way for DW CS4 to display the files included this way? At the moment, they don't show up in related file view.
My second question is, is there any way for DW CS4 to display the html and php code in the file in a pleasant way? The php is not red as it is in pure php files.
Definitely not wanting to change the way I code or to change the file extensions...
Instead, wanting to change the SW settings to make my work easier.
With gratitude,
Smiles
Andy

Hi Brad,
Thanks for your reply!
> The PHP coding in a regular HTML page likely won't even work in a browser
That's a standard coding technique...LOL... Maybe I didn't explain correctly...
My hundreds of pages validate XHTML transitional...
You are quite right that browsers do not interpret php code, but the browser never sees php code.
I will try to explain again
The html file starts with <? php (code> ?>
When the browser calls the html file, the server knows to process the file as php.
It processes the php, then returns some html headers, and follows up with all the html that is after the <? php (code> ?> section.
Thousands of php coders work like this.It's a very efficient way of building a modular website while keeping html extensions.
By the way, related files already show in CS4 if they are in the html code.
Are you 100% sure you are correct about the CS5 inclusion situation? You won't know unless you have built an html file that looks like this.
<?php
require_once 'myfile.php'>
?>
<body>
hello html
</body>
Your myfile.php might look like this:
<?php
echo 'hello php <br />';
?>
If you have never used php in an html file, you will probably need to add something like this to your .htaccess file:
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php .htm .html
It tells your server that php processes not only php files but also html files.
Warmest wishes to all,
Andy
