Software :: Dreamweaver CS4 Not Displaying Filenames?

Mar 27, 2009

I've just upgraded from an iBook (OS 10.4) to a MacBook (10.5x). Since my old version of Dreamweaver MX refused to open on the new system, I downloaded the 30-day trial version of DW CS4 (my time is about half up). It recognizes my website, but when I open it in site view, it doesn't display any of the file names. If I mouse over the empty white space next to the little file icons, the name appears, but it's impossible to work on the site this way, of course. I posted my problem in the Adobe forum with no response; I've googled my way through bazillions of other DW-OS 10.5 problems, but haven't found mine. Maybe I'm missing something completely obvious, but I've been using DW for many years and have never seen this weirdness before

Applications :: Using ITune Filenames / How To Rename

Sep 7, 2010

So I downloaded a bunch of audio in .mp3 format that I drag onto iTunes.

The filenames are like 213.mp3 or 23.mp3

When I plugin my ipod, the filenames are all wacky looking.

Why is that? (note: the .mp3 audio is not in english)

Can I rename them so they show up as 213.mp3 on my ipod also?

OS X :: Leopard Spotlight Ignores Filenames?

Apr 1, 2008

So I finally bit the bullet and reinstalled Leopard...I'm liking 10.5.2 much better now that I can have my list view back in dock folders...

but I've discovered a very, very stupid "enhancement" to Spotlight that makes it completely useless for the thing I most frequently Spotlight�file names.

Yes, I am serious. Leopard ignores file names if it doesn't think they are important to the search criteria.

A good example? I have a folder with all of my company's product shots in it, listed by "UPC number.jpg" so basically, things look like 135246528543.jpg or something similar. We're talking 10,000 UPC-labeled product images.

I build worksheets and catalogs and things like that using these files all day long, and the best way I've found to get the product I want is to create a new box in InDesign or Quark or whatever app I'm using, and then use the menu command to get an image. I have the UPC images folder in my finder tray, so i click on that to center my focus on that one folder, and then I would use the little Spotlight search field to search for the last 4-5 digits of the product's UPC that I need to place. I typically do a couple dozen of these at a time, but I've got a spreadsheet and it only takes a couple of minutes to get all of the images loaded into a layout.

now that's what I would do in 10.4.

When I try to do this in 10.5, I find that unless I type in the ENTIRE UPC code, starting with the very first number and all the way to the last of the 12 digits, I get 0 results for the same search. I can open the file in a finder window and stare at it, and then open a spotlight search for it and nothing shows up. Curious to see if I was not indexing something properly, I poked around and discovered that the new leopard Spotlight by default doesn't consider filenames an important search criteria, and that you have to go into the spotlight window and click the little "+" button to add "filename" "contains" to the search criteria for that spotlight window. You can check a little "always appear" box next to this, and then if you want to find a file by its filename, you use that text entry point instead of the regular search text box and it will find the files just fine.

Now, aside from the fact that this logic is stupid and backwards and completely counter-intuitive, (why is spotlight trying to deduce which files i might really want to see and hiding from the the ones it doesn't see as important enough? even if that's the default behavior, why can't i just click a "always show all results" checkbox in the spotlight preferences to change this?), it is killing my productivity for one simple reason:

The custom changes you make to the spotlight search bar (adding "filename" for example, as a default search option) don't carry over into the "open" and "save" dialog boxes in applications!

You can go in and hit the plus button each time you want to search for a file name, then scroll down through the list of a billion possible search criteria, then select "contains" because it isn't the default argument, and THEN type the 4-5 numbers of the UPC that will narrow it down to a single file, but that isn't exactly fast, now is it?

So my work-around is to minimize the document, open a custom, separate search window, and then drag-drop the results into the app. Maybe if I had more monitors this wouldn't be such a pain, but there was a very good system in place before and now it is broken. The only problem with 10.4's implementation of this function was that if there was only 1 search result, you still had to click on it to select it before you could hit "enter" and have it open in the document. If there is only one search result, it should at least highlight it for you by default...

so i was hoping that 10.5 would do that, because in the menubar it does (highlights the top hit) and I think users of quicksilver can attest to the usefulness of this.

My post's purpose is this: to complain about this broken feature and to ask for any possible work-arounds other than the back-asswards one I described above. requiring you to type in the entire file name before the search results will show anything is the opposite of a smarter search.

And to those who say "just use EasyFind" I ask you, does it integrate with Open/Save dialog windows? If not, then it doesn't really take the place of Tiger's Spotlight.

OS X :: Easiest Way To Remove Backslash From Many Filenames?

Aug 5, 2010

I've got a client who's got thousands and thousands of files which are in subfolders that contain backslashes. He wants to either replace the slashes with another character or just remove them.

Can automator deal with multiple folders that contain folders in them ..etc..maybe 3-4 nests deep? If not, then maybe a free download that can do this?

OS X V10.7 Lion :: How To Change The Way Mac Shortens Filenames

Jun 7, 2012

How can I change the way Mac shortens filenames from replacing the MIDDLE of the filename with dots so that I see the first and last parts of the name to the way Windows does it, by only showing the first part of the file name.

For example, how can I change the filename "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.doc" from "super...cious.doc" (the current way by Mac does it) to just "supercali....doc" (like what Windows does).

Info:
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.4)

Applications :: ITunes Dupes And Adds 1 To MP3 Filenames On Import

Jan 9, 2010

I use torrents to download most of my music. I download the torrents to my downloads folder. For example if the torrent is called Greatest Hits it ends up in a subfolder of downloads ... downloads Greatest Hits. To add the music to my library I open downloads in Finder and drag the Greatest Hits folder from the finder window to the itunes icon in the dock. My itunes preferences are set to copy music to my itunes library folder (which is totally separate from downloads, I think it's something like documentsitunesmusic). And I also have preferences set to keep the library organized.

This process often works perfectly. Everything is added nicely to itunes and I go ahead and drag the Greatest Hits folder from the downloads folder to the trash, and then empty the trash. But sometimes, itunes will dupe the mp3's I've just added in my library. It will, for example, add to my library a tracklist like this:

song
song 1
other song
other song 1
next song
next song 1

Where the songs with 1 at the end are dupes of their twin without the 1. I haven't figured out the rhyme or reason to what files itunes will dupe in this manner. I think it has something to do with having track numbers in the original filenames (rather than in the id3's?). But I haven't noticed a definitive pattern.

Software :: Safari Stop Adding MPG To Split Filenames

Jun 27, 2008

If I download split files named .001, .002, etc. that are done with HJ Split or similar, which can be rejoined in Machacha, Safari recognizes that they are pieces of a movie file and adds .mpg to the end. This means before I can rejoin them, I have to rename every file removing the .mpg and then confirming i want to change the extension with a mouse click-only option. Is there anyway to disable this auto-naming convention?

Software :: Using Dreamweaver 8 To CS3?

Dec 27, 2007

I do some website work on the side (my own site, weddings, and a few non-profits) never really for money, just for service in kinc or fun. I currently use 8, and have an opportuinity to pick up a super cheap copy of CS3 from a friend who is migrating back to Windows.

Is it worth $100? What are the new features. I was lead to believe it makes CSS layouts extremely managable and had some cool new stuff.

Applications :: Dreamweaver CS3 Asking For CS4 Disc?

Jan 30, 2009

So I just got Dreamweaver CS3 in the mail today and tried to install it. I bought it from a retailer online because I learned on CS3 and didn't want to have to learn a half-new interface. It was also A LOT cheaper.

So the problem is, I get 1/3 way through the install and Setup ejects the disc. A message pops up saying I need to insert Dreamweaver CS4 disc. It has an option to Cancel or Ok. I hit Ok and the message just pops back up. I hit Cancel and I message pops up saying the user terminated install by request. It then list that it successfully installed the Shared something and failed to install Dreamweaver CS3 and a bunch of other apps that came with it like how Photoshop comes with Bridge, Device Central, etc. I think this is what's causing the problem because most of these extra apps are CS4, but I don't know how to not install these things. I do want them installed, I think, but they are causing this problem, I think.

Software :: Using Dreamweaver CS4 FTP Connection?

Dec 17, 2008

I'm running Mac OS X 10.5.5 on a Macbook Pro Core Duo, 2 meg RAM.

Dreamweaver CS4 installed just fine, and starts up just fine, linking to the web site home folder on my computer just fine. Problem is when I attempt to connect to Host I get the following message:

An FTP error occurred - cannot make connection to host. Dreamweaver cannot connect to host "ftp-dom.earthlink.net". This may be due to one or more of the following reasons:...

I've made all the adjustments and corrections suggested thereafter in the error window, but to no avail. I've even did a clean install of the software, and have also did a complete wipe of my hard drive and reloaded all system software and application software from scratch, and still the same problem. The Adobe site's information and links to forums dealing with this problem have been no help whatsoever.

My connection is through a DSL protocol, both hard wired (via Ethernet) and wireless, depending on where I'm located. Have no problems with other internet related connections with other software that accesses the internet.

My Dreamweaver 8 application, on the same computer, loads up just fine and connects to the host just fine with no FTP errors whatsoever to which I'm able to do any updates, work on the site, etc, with no problem, whether I'm connected via a hard wire Ethernet connection or via a wireless connection.

The problem appears to squarely set with Dreamweaver CS4 itself. I also had the same exact problem with Dreamweaver CS3, and got so frustrated I simply dispensed with working any further with the CS3 version and have continued using Dreamweaver 8 as a result. I really need to make the change to CS4 now as my business needs are closer to requiring its use.

Software :: Dreamweaver CS3 Versus Freeway 5.0?

Mar 3, 2008

I'm finally looking to move from GoLive to something more modern and ready for the future.
I got RapidWeaver as part of MacHeist, but I find it a bit too restrictive. I'm a WYSIWYG kind of guy.

Adobe, in their infinite wisdom, does not allow for an upgrade from their old web development program to their new one. This means I'll have to pay the full $399. for Dreamweaver if I decide to go that route.

I'm intrigued with the news about Softpress' new version of Freeway, which is out this month. Anybody here have experience with this product?

I'm less than enamoured with SoftPress' own site, which is text-heavy and lacks screenshots and clean design. Not a great advertisement for the software itself.

However, the Pro version is half the price of Dreamweaver and seems to have a lot of the core functionality.
Being an InDesign user, their appeal to designers who want to engage in web design is compelling.

Can anybody here vouch for this approach? Is there any good reason to pay double the cost for Dreamweaver?

OS X :: Installing Photoshop CS And Dreamweaver MX 204 On Macbook Pro?

Sep 5, 2009

I have a Macbook Pro. I have a copy of Dreamweaver MX 2004 and Adobe Photoshop CS that I would like to install on this machine. Both of these programs are backed up on an external harddisk.

I used to to have a copy of this Photoshop working on my mac, but a few months ago, it stopped working, and I haven't been able to get it up and running since.

Here are the specs of my Mac:

2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM

So far I have basically tried copying these programs onto my machine from the external disk, but with no success.

Is there anyone who might have any idea what is going on with these programs, and how I can get them working again my machine?

Software :: Using Dreamweaver To Build Websites?

May 18, 2008

I would like to be able to build and maintain a website for my financially strapped public library as a service to them and then build a site for my genealogy. When I taught I developed our school's first website using Adobe PageMill about 12 years ago. I have forgotten most everything I knew.

I recently updated my Mac OSX version to 10.4.11. The rest of my profile is the same as shown.

I have been looking into the Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 and I have several questions. First, is this a good choice? Should I also purchase Fireworks CS3 and Contribute CS3 to make the job easier? (Or do I really need everything included in the Adobe CS3 Web Standard package?) Will my present computer system be able to handle this software? Do I need to upgrade my memory?

Also, should I consider downloading PageSpinner to work with in addition to Dreamweaver or will I be confusing myself more?

I have picked out some instruction books on developing websites and using Dreamweaver and I catch on to using software quickly, but I'm not sure about my hardware.
