I prefer the absence of GUI elements when editing and assigning markup - like in Design View. =========== @mistershortcut Use them both interchangeably. Use Design for quick editing, Live to check styles. But regardless of what you do in DW, previewing in real browsers and mobile devices is still the best way to check your work. I keep my browser open continuously and hit the F5 key to refresh after saving. I work different. I separate editing/markup and design. Therefore, when I edit/markup, I need "quick editing" practically exclusively. This is why I think Adobe's decision to abandon Design View is a bad one. My bad luck. When I design, I don't edit. And for that, like you, I use the browser to check if my CSS works the way I wanted it to. The reason for this thread was the value "auto". Now, unfortunately, I have to live with huge images in Design View. This is very annoying. My bad luck.

@BenPleysier You have misunderstood my initial posting. There is explicitly a relative CSS value for the width.

@Nancy OShea Thanks for confirming, that "auto" is not interpreted. OK, so I guess I will have to get used to using Live View sooner or later. For example, I'm bothered by the overlay of options to insert class or id. I prefer the absence of GUI elements when editing and assigning markup - like in Design View.

@nancy Nancy, I know that Design View ist NOT a browser. Independent of that the intended functionality of the design view is, that CSS is interpreted in the Design View. At the moment nobody likes to confirm, that "height: auto" is ignored in the Design View. It's OK. But it would be helpful for the discussion, when someone could confirm that. Thanks for your suggestion, I really appreciate, that you like to help me. But I do not want to set a width to figure, but to img. Your wrote "AUTO does not change the height of your image." That is not true. When you use my complete code of the last posting in a browser, you get an automatically calculated height. Depending on 1em. That is the intended function of the value "auto". I do not say anymore, that that does not work in Design View. You say, that I my understanding of the value is not correct.

@nancy The design view is for me the main feature why I use DW. When you don't use it and when it is not important for you I respect that of course. I need a solution for Design View and the ignored value "height". The code of my minimal test case: <!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Unique Page Title</title>
<style>img { width: 10em; height: auto; }</style>
</head>
<body>
<figure><img src="https://dummyimage.com/400x600" alt=""></figure>
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Fusce vehicula orci vitae felis congue porta.</p>
</body>
</html>

@nancy Thanks for the suggestion. It is no option for me, because I need the width in the unit "em". And display: block does not fit my needs too. Can you reproduce, that the value "auto" for "height" is ignored in the design view?

I have the following HTML sourcecode: <img src="example.jpg" width="400" height="600" alt="" /> The image is rendered correctly in the design view. Now I apply CSS to it: img { width: 30em; height: auto; } Result: The value "30em" is rendered correctly, the value "auto" is ignored. The rendered height of the picture is 600px. How can I solve the task please? In a browser the CSS works. Thank you.

To reset I have to find the file "Adobe Dreamweaver CC 2019 Prefs.plist". But there is no such file. Or does that file exist only for specific version of DW but not for all versions?

On the page https://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/kb/restore-preferences-dreamweaver.html you find the following information: The following file and folder are deleted from your system:
/[user]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Dreamweaver [version number] (folder)
/[user]/Library/Preferences/Adobe Dreamweaver [version number] Prefs (file)
/[user]/Library/Preferences/Adobe Dreamweaver [version number] Prefs.plist (file) ~/Library/Preferences/ contains: Adobe Dreamweaver CC 2019 Prefs but not: Adobe Dreamweaver [version number] Prefs.plist (file) I'm still a little bit insecure, how to reset correctly and be able to restore, if I need that.

Thanks for testing Jon. Did you used the Version 2019 on macOS? Of course I checked the tag library before I posted. But it is the default. With line breaks before and after the P element. My version 2019 is freshly installed. So it is very unlikely, that resetting the preferences can heal anything. But I keep it in mind as a possible step. I don't want to loose all my server configurations in the site management. I will wait until someone who uses the version 2019 on macOS reads this thread. May be it is a bug in version 2019?

It is a simple *.html file. I attached it. (It is impossible to attach a HTML file.) <!doctype html>

Thanks for your helpful answers. Yesterday I asked the admin of the server, if there are any processes on the server which can cause that minification. He said "no". What I really wonder is, that, when use the command in DW to upload to the site the "default.css" get's minified, but a test file "default-foo.css" (in the same folder) get's not. Further: When I upload "default.css" via my file manager (instead of DW), "default.css" get's not minified. I do not use any extension with DW. Hhhmmm. At the moment I do not know what else I can do to find the cause.

Hello. When I upload "default.css" to the site, it gets minified automatically. I couldn't find the option to deactivate that function. Please, can you give me a hint? Thanks.

@Jon Thanks a lot. I found it with the help of your screenshot. An now I know why I didn't find it before. I just didn't know that there's another option on the same level as menu commands. Sometimes I'm blind. Have a nice day!

@Jon Thanks a lot for your very helpful list of steps to create a snippet. I will try this later at night. You wrote, that the command, Nancy suggested is available in code editing section of the settings for creating a short. Please, where can I find that command. I looked at the code editing section. But without success.

Hi HARSHIKA. Thanks for your hint. I read the thread, but that does not solve my problem. I activated "notes" in DW, so the synchronisation file *.xml is saved. When you look at my screenshot you can see, that some time stamps are equal, others are not. And the difference is not "a time zone". There must be any other reason for the different time stamps. Please let me know which result do you get after a synchronisation? Are all time stamps equal after that? The label in the option of the dialog is precise: "Direction: Pull and push the latest version of a file" And further: Can you reproduce, what I described about the behaviour about " Delete files on the remote server, which do not exist on the local site" That does not work. Example: Remote: /foo/bar.html Local: /foo/ (empty folder) Expected result of synchronisation: Suggestion to delete /foo/bar.html on the remote server. Real result: No such suggestion Regards, Andreas

I have a problem with the site synchronisation. My steps: 1 I configured a FTP connection in DW 15 on macOS ("FTP via TLS - explicit encryption", which is possible with DW19, does not work with DW15, may be a bug. But that is another story.) 2 I deleted all folders "_notes" in my local site to make sure, that there are no old informations about former synchronisations 3 I choosed the command "Synchronize complete site" with the option "push and pull latest files" Expected result: Equal time stamps for alle files locally and remote But that is not the case. Some are equal, but not all. Dropbox - Screenshot 2019-04-16 11.03.35.png What can I do please to get files with equal (latest) time stamps? I can reproduce the behaviour with DW 19. Independent of that: Empty folders which exist only on the remote site, but not on the local site are not suggested for an erasure. Of course with the choosed option " delete files which only exist on the remote site but not locally" Again the behaviour of DW 15 and 19 is the same in that.
