I use Dreamweaver 8 at work, and recently I've been having an issue with open files. When I move focus away from Dreamweaver to another piece of software (usually firefox for testing the results of uploaded files), and then move back to Dreamweaver I get a prompt saying: "This file has been modified outside of Dreamweaver. Do you want to reload it".
Edit: this is for every single file I have open in Dreamweaver so is quite unbearable!
Clicking yes or no both show exactly the same page! Nothing's changed, and nothing should have!
Any ideas why this might be happening? It's causing some issues because I work with another developer at work and I don't want my work overwriting. I assure you that he's not working on any of the same files or anything, and we've worked together for months and this has never happened before.
I'm very well aware that I can turn this prompt off, but in cases where files have actually changed, I'd want to be prompted.
I know Dreamweaver 8 is a joke.. but it's what we've got, and it's been fine up until now.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! :)
That behavior exists in CS5 too, so I'm pretty sure it is a bug. Are you working off a shared network drive?

I've been having this problem for two or three weeks now.
Any file I create with ActiveX controls that must run a code for example clicking on a button, will work fine on my computer, but on any other computers will not work.
If you save the file, from other computer, it will show a Unexpecter error 32809 and after you close the file and reopen it, the controls will work.
Note that this happens for every file I save from my computer. Even if I get a working macro, I open it and save it with no changes, on other computers will not work.
I deleted many times *.exd files as a suggest from Internet, but still no good.
Can anyone help me with this problem, please ?
Thank you
Do a wildcard search for exd files (search for *.exd) and make sure you are not searching for exe!. Delete all the exd files returned from the search. That will do it.
I am not sure why but sometimes my SVN project seems like it is not synced to SVN: the exclamations (!) on the folders go away and now i can't tell which folders I have made changes to.
I can still commit my files, but it makes it difficult to keep up with the changes I have made on the files. The files seem like they aren't even added to the project as if I copied/pasted them in there but haven't added/committed them yet.
Has anyone had the same problem?
Yes I have that problem all the time. I don't think there is a solution for it. Sometimes if I refresh the folder it updates it to green check mark but this is something tortoise needs to work on. I definitely feel your pain.
After restarting my computer, the icons showed up again..originally i restarted and it did not work, but after a while i restarted again and this time the icons came back.
I've had this issue several times and usually I can just shut down the program and restart it. But this time I have a bunch of windows open and I don't want to restart Dreamweaver.
My problem is that Dreamweaver brought up a code hint, but the code hint box now won't go away. It just sits there floating in the middle of the page. It doesn't matter if I click to Preview or any other tab in Dreamweaver, it still just sits on top of everything.
I'm working on a Mac, Dreamweaver CC (cloud, fully updated). Anyone else have this problem???
This has been a HUGE PAIN for me as well! You can make the code hint disappear though by finishing out an element that is in the code hint box. For instance if the code hint box appears and you can see class in the drop down... create a <div class="xyz"> real quick and the code hit box will dissipate after you close the quotes on the class because you used an element in that box. As to why this continually happens on the Mac version I have no idea, but I hope they fix it soon!
It's a known bug since years as you can read here: https://forums.adobe.com/message/7745689
Someone suggests as a workaround to set the Coding Hint delay to 0 (as said here: https://forums.adobe.com/message/7745689#7745689) but for me, in Dreamweaver CC 2015 Windows fully updated via cloud app, this bug still occurs while I code JS files.
Awaiting for a final fix, I hope this suggestion can be useful for you on Mac. :)
This is probably bordering off-topic-ness here, but not a lot of people on SuperUser use GVim, as opposed to here, so I'm leaving it here.
The problem is simple - I'm using GVim 7.3. from vim.org, downloaded it in the form of archived binaries (the two archive files) like always and replaced the older version. However, I can't get Windows to recognize it and to associate a file extension to it.
From windows explorer go to, let's say, .py file, Open with ... / Browse / gvim.exe in its directory and ... nothing. Like it never happened.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this behaviour? It's mighty annoying to have to open every file from within Vim manually.
I think the default installer ("self-installing executable") from vim.org lets you register shell associations; this means you get an entry "open with vim" in every context menu from the explorer. Did you not use this file?
I'm looking at this page and I'm thinking about this download.
This doesn't answer your question, but it's a different way to edit with gvim from the context menu.
Create a .reg file with the contents below (adjusting your path to gvim.exe) and execute it. Then whenever you right-click on a file in explorer you will have an "Open with GVIM" option.
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Unknown\shell]
#="Open with GVIM"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\*\shell]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\*\shell\Open with &GVim]
#="Open with GVIM"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\*\shell\Open with &GVim\command]
#="C:\\Vim\\gvim.exe \"%1\""
I gave up trying all kinds of tricks through the registry, but this solution works for me just fine. I might add, I'm having the same issue on Windows 7. Since Windows seems to be able to do the association with vim.exe just fine, and this is apparently tied to the file name, I moved vim.exe off as say vim.ex$ and made a copy of gvim.exe to vim.exe. Cheap and easy way around this goofy problem, and I can't say I ever use vim.exe on purpose.

Dreamweaver Keeps Getting Dependent Files
I'm using Dreamweaver (CS5) to manage files on a webserver. I have it set so that when I save a file (locally or not) it uploads to the server.
The problem is that when I save/upload a file that links to other files (images, js, css, etc) those files have to upload (or at least check to make sure they are the same) as well.
This becomes an big issue when I'm editing a CSS file with 2000 lines of code and links to hundreds of images.
Is there a way to prevent dreamweaver from uploading everything?
Is there a better Rich text-editor/FTP client for windows
Go to: >Edit on the main toolbar, >Preferences, >Site
Then Select "Prompt on put/check in"
Once you save / put you will get this dialog box:
Select "No" for the "Put dependent files"
Select "Don't show me this message again"
Go to Edit -> Preferences -> Site
Then uncheck "Prompt on put/check in".
nope. there is no friggin' way. Dreamweaver is an intransigent bastard when it comes to that. you can see my comments on the Adobe Help forums...
YOU CANNOT STOP DREAMWEAVER FROM TRYING TO UPLOAD DEPENDENT FILES.
the best thing i've managed is to indicate the files i don't want by setting the 'cloak' flag. 'cloak' doesn't actually work (seriously, Adobe? WTH?), but it does pop up a dialog that let's you say 'No to ALL'. quite frankly, it's a bloody joke, that...
as for a better RichText editor, do you mean a color-coding IDE? in addition to being a great editor period, Notepad++ also has an FTP plugin that is really great. if you want a standalone FTP client, can't do better than (Filezilla)[http://filezilla-project.org/]. and if you're balls-of-steel brave, willing to smash your way through the godawful uptake period, (Aptana Studio 3)[http://aptana.com/] is exquisite. just don't expect a lot of useful tutorials on getting this stonkblonker configured without a lot a head smashing, loud cursing and google-till-you-puke. once you do, however, it's pretty rockin'. but my fave is still Dreamweaver because of the wicked smart ability to load all the referenced files in the header. remember, it was designed for VISUAL development, so that's where it's focused. but it's the best damn IDE i know of for Wordpress, MooTools and Smarty.
anyway. there you go. whew
WR!
