Why, since CS6 does DW now use ABSOLUTE image paths when dragging images into Design View from a folder in Finder?!

While I am grateful the previous issue I had with not being able to drag files into design view at all (in CC and CC2014) was resolved.
Guys (Adobe), seriously, if you're going to change the functioning of something that used to work just fine, at least supply a way for a user to revert to the old way... I absolutely loathe that I need a legacy version of DW to continue with my current workflow. Please put it back to the way it was, or at least allow a user to chose between the two behaviours.
If there is a way to do this, without using the Site Manager (which still doesn't work from Finder even with relative to document selected), I would appreciate any guidance.
As for using the Site Manager (before some smart guy suggests that I just use that) I do not wish to navigate to and create up to 20 "sites" a week and wait for DW to cache them all, when I am already in the folder with the image assets in Finder.
Also before someone pipes up and says: "You shouldn't be diving sites in design view anyway", I don't... I develop many, many newsletters every week and the folder structure is such that navigation to the actual image folder using the Site Manager would be painful at best.
I don't really like having to and replace all instances of "file:///Users/me/Work/company/Mailers/Year/wk14/mailer/dev/img/prod5.jpg". It is horrendously wasteful, time-wise.
Thanks in advance for any helpful replies

Sorry Murray, DW used to have an idea, my point is that since CS6 its developed a case of Amnesia.
The "elements" are in the "root" folder as follows:
newslettername.htm
img
     imagename.jpg
So the relative path would be <img src"img/imagename.jpg" />
However since the change: <img src"file:///Users/me/work/Company/year/week/campaign/img/imagename.jpg" />
Which is completely useless and needs to be corrected before I upload the html anywhere.
As for using the site directory, I did answer that in my initial post. I use a laptop, I really don't want a site manager taking half my screen just so I can see the folder structure and navigate with that, especially since I am already at the files I need in Finder.
Again, this is something that used to work just fine in previous iterations of DW, so I don't believe Adobe is incapable of fixing it nor am I being unreasonable asking for a choice for those that may find the local absolute paths useful in some way. All I want is to be able to chose not to use absolute paths when dragging from Finder.

  • Why can't GB let me use 'electric guitar' option when using Nio 2/4 interface - I have to use real instrument and miss out on all the effects. Is this normal for all interfaces?

    Usually effects packages are AU plugins that would have no effect on track selection. Interfaces should have no control over what kind of track you can select. I really think something else is going on her maybe something you overlooked.
    Did you choose the input channel in the track info pane. Try both channel 1 mono or channel 2 mono. Make sure the track is record enabled.

  • I just downloaded the new version of iTunes 10 and now it won't let me drag and drop any files from my computer.

    I just downloaded the new version of iTunes 10 and now it won't let me drag and drop any files from my computer into my iTunes. It lets me play the song from the folder in my computer and then it opens with iTunes and plays the song all the way through, but then if I try to play it again, it says the file cannot be located. So then I go to locate and go to the folder and all that and select it and nothing happens.

    Not sure whether for instance you initially had a Yahoo optimised version of Firefox, and have now overwritten it with an official Mozilla version. Although the Mozilla version should NOT add unwanted features, but the Yahoo version may well do.
    If you merely need to find the Yahoo emails page quickly just add it as a bookmark or as a bookmark on the Bookmarks toolbar and make sure that is visible.
    Clicking the star icon on the location bar whilst looking at your emails will bookmark the page.

    * [[Bookmarks Toolbar - Display your favorite websites at the top of the Firefox window]]
    I do not use Yahoo myself,and am not sure what add-ons are available. You could search yourself using
    * FirefoxButton -> add-ons
    ** see [[Find and install add-ons to add features to Firefox]]

  • I just uploaded my iTunes library to the cloud using iTunes Match. When I buy a new song from iTunes, is it automatically put in the Cloud or do I have to push iTunes Match. I certainly don't want to upload the whole library again. Thanks

    I just uploaded my iTunes library to the cloud using iTunes Match. When I buy a new song from iTunes, is it automatically sent to the Cloud or do I have to click on iTunes Match? I certainly don't want to start the whole upload process over again. Thanks

    It should do so automatically, if not check it's staus this way.
    In iTunes press "Command J" or select "View Options," under the view menu. In the popup window check iCloud Status. It will now appear as one of the columns in your main iTunes window.
    This column will show which of your songs are matched, uploaded, ineligible, etc.
    When you navigate to the song you downloaded you will see it's iCloud status.
    If the status says, "waiting," and you want it available on Match now, then in the iTunes "Store," menubar pulldown, select "Update iTunes Match."
    It will scan your drive, and update all status'.
    You will not have to upload everything again.
    Even if in iTunes you turn Match off, and back on again.
    Match remembers you!

    Other people have commented about the same thing - you can try leaving feedback for Apple and maybe it'll be brought back in a future update : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

  • Media Encoder CS6 does not always "Use Previews"

    I've attempted several transcodes using pre-rendered timelines in Premiere Pro. Media encoder does not always use the preview files despite the appropriate box being checked. Any suggestions what I can look for? I don't see that I am doing anything different between the times it works and the times it doesn't.

    We are all just incompetent users here.  As pointed out before this is just a user to user forum, Adobe rarely checks in.
    I was hoping by now you would have gotten to the bottom of this problem and were offering a solution.

  • Since updating can no longer use copy/paste for copying internet material into my Word documents

    There was a recent update on Fox which I automatically downloaded. Now when I attempt to copy select material or articles I find online the usual copy/paste functions no longer work when I try to copy into already established or new Word documents

    I have the same problem.
    All of a sudden, I can't drag or cut&paste anything from the Character Viewer into my word documents.
    I think it changed when I upgraded to Mavericks.
    I get the circle with the line through it when I try.
    I hope that someone reads this and has pity!
    thanks

  • Can I use my Intel-based MacBook to boot into Windows 7 from an external HDD?

    Okay, so I need to use Windows for some simple applications. Problem is, I don't have a Windows desktop anymore and while I have both Windows and Linux partitions along with Mountain Lion on my installed hard drive, I'm probably going to wipe said drive and just use the entire partition for Mountain Lion. That said, I'd like to use an extra hard drive I have lying around to boot Windows.
    My questions are:
    1. Does my MacBook support USB boot to Windows?
    2. If my laptop does support this, can someone point me to a set of good reliable instructions to install Windows onto the external hard drive and boot into it by USB?
    Thank you; have a blessed day!

    You seem to have a triple boot system that was done using the 10.6 installer disk and a copy of rEFIt.
    I know because I had the same thing once.
    I can tell you what will happen if you decide to upgrade 10.7 or 10.8
    1: The EFI and GUID is going to change, rEFIt hasn't been updated in ages since 10.7 started rolling out back in about June 2011. There will be adverse effects with rEFIt so I hear.
    2: The 10.8 upgrader is going to barf at your triple boot system, it will upgrade the 10.6 partition but warn you that the 10.8 RecoveryHD partition (10.7 and 10.8 both install) that it normally installs at the very bottom of the drive will not be installed and you can't enable Filevault.
    Intel Mac's can have only 4 bootable partitions on the drive, the 10.7+ installer is normally dealing with EFI, MacintoshHD, BOOTCAMP, RecoveryHD. It barfs at anything else it doesn't understand and will not install RecoveryHD partition, which on a non-Internet Recovery capable hardware is required to reinstall the currently upgraded OS X operating system version. But you can always go back to the 10.6 disks and wipe and restore that way or via 10.6 USB boot key.
    http://www.maciverse.com/install-os-x-snow-leopard-from-usb-flash-drive.html
    So with 10.7+ you'll have to use something like Carbon Copy Cloner for the OS X partition.
    So since rEFIt is going to be hosed, so will your ability to use the EFI based program to boot into the three operating systems at boot time.
    I assume you found this out and why you want to dump Windows on a external drive. However Apple's EFI doesn't recognize Linux as a boot option.
    There is a rEFIt fork that will allow Linux to boot on a Mac: http://www.rodsbooks.com/ubuntu-efi/index.html
    Windows as you now know can't be booted off a external drive, however if your use of it is minor, you may want to consider using a virtual machine to run it in OS X or Linux instead using the free VirtualBox.
    Windows in BootCamp or Virtual Machine?
    You should Carbon Copy Cloner the OS X 10.6 partition to a external GUID OS X Extended J (JHFS+) drive.
    You can use WinClone 3 in OS X to clone the Windows partition to a external drive, but it's a backup only, no booting capability. Restoring it will boot on the internal drive of course.
    Linux you should already know how to clone it to a external drive using dd.
    I advise you use the 10.6 install disks to set up your new partition scheme, but your going to have to uninstall rEFIt and return the machine and firmware back to basic Apple factory system as possible before doing anything.
    EFI doesn't get erased, it resides in NVRAM and the EFI partition, controls the at boot key commands to boot off OS X install disks, so it's important to uninstall rEFIt completely before upgrading OS X.
    If the Windows version your using is XP, to install that first using BootCamp in a fresh 10.6 install and reverse clone using WinClone before upgrading to 10.7 or above. It will be grandfathered in, but can't be reinstalled later.

  • Why is Image in design view but not in browser?

    Why when I insert an image from root folder it shows in design but not in live view or browser? I have opened a new blank html page and still no image will show up.

    Do you have an editable region in your main Template head tags?
    Just so you know.  Making a template out of an HTML document is just about the last step in your design process.
    First build your prototype.html page so that everything performs well in all browsers.  When you're completely satisfied with how it looks, then Save As Template.dwt.
    Add editable regions for content that will change from page to page.
    Spawn New page from template and save as index.html for your home page.  Repeat for other site pages.

  • HT4859 why can i NOT see my notes, photo's etc. when i sign into my icloud account?

    I don't understand why my notes, photo's Calendar are not availble when I log into my icloud.com account.  How do I know for certain that my photos & all are backed up???
    Thanks in advance!!!

    Data stored in a backup on icloud cannot be viewed.  Photos are never stored in cloud except when part of a backup and only those from the camera roll.  Again, while the photos may be in a backup, you cannot view them at icloud.com.
    Go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage.  Choose the device you want info on.  On the next page, you'll get a listing and size of all data store in the next backup.
