Techy Question Dreamweaver CS6

[DulwichFox]

Hi all Techy folks...

I have an old installation of Dreamweaver 4 resides @ C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Dreamweaver 4\Dreamweaver.exe

I have now downloaded Dreamweaver CS6 Trial Version. resides C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CS6\Dreamweaver.exe

Which seems to be working fine.

However in I highlight any .HTML file and use 'open with' Dramweaver it is opening in Dreamweaver 4.

If I use select program and navigate to the CS6 address.. I get an extra DW 4 icon and it opens with Dreamweaver 4

If I rename the Dreamweaver.exe from C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Dreamweaver 4\

and then use select program and navigate to the CS6 address. no icon is created so cannot open the file.

CSS files 'open with' option opens fine with CS6. That is because .CSS file association is set to CS6.

I cannot set HTM & HLML associations to CS6 as they need to open in a Browser when clicked.

I do not want to uninstal DW4 just yet and not sure if that would solve the problem..

Any ideas Please..

Tricky one, I feel your pain. Have you tried hitting it with a stick.

Google it- there is always an answer

I'm stuck with Dreamweaver but I have a different question:

When I upload a page, it asks if I want to upload dependent files i.e. pictures.

These go up reasonably swiftly and then invariably the upload jams on the last graphic and the connection is lost

Is it just shitty Dreamweaver or the ordure that is Virgin causing the phenomenon?

Sweet Dreams Weaver.

On another subject Anyone know what to do when you get an Ora-006502?

Ditch Dreamweaver and code in a text editor like Notepad++. It's easier to get into than you think, and you'd make far more efficient pages...

Failing that at a pinch I'd try uninstalling DW4, or perhaps both then reinstalling only DW6. That might hopefully clean out any file assocations.

If you're going down the text editor route, sublime 2 is pretty marvellous.

Just spent 10 mins typing that I do use notepad++ for PHP @ C++

and the reason I need Dreamweaver as apposed to Frontpage..

Then EDF crashed. I need to type in notepad and cut and paste if typing long posts.

EDF always times out at about 8-10 mins. if I do not post message.

Really Annoying.

Hello Mr Fox, I think you'll need to enter the registry and adjust the file associations.

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\Photoshop.exe\shell\open\command, and change the (Default) from "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4 (64 Bit)\Photoshop.exe" "%1" to "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)\Photoshop.exe" "%1"

Not for the faint hearted! R/C

I was really hoping this thread was about master fabulist Garth Marenghi.

Thanks R/C

Yes I'm Ok around the Registry...

It was Dreamweaver and not Photoshop that was screwed but same basic path.

Not (64Bit) in my case..

All sorted out now..

Cheers again.

I know I'm repeating myself but...

Dreamweaver: When I upload a page, it asks if I want to upload dependent files i.e. pictures.

These go up reasonably swiftly and then invariably the upload jams on the last graphic and the connection is lost

Is it just shitty Dreamweaver or the ordure that is Virgin causing the phenomenon?

Hi stevo..

Not too sure what you are actually doing.

Are you talking about FTP to web hosting when you say upload.

It could be anti-virus preventing completion of upload.

Possible a Buffer problem. Time-out ??
