Question

2018 dropped a site

I have about 10 site folders defined on my primary hard drive.

I was working in one of them yesterday.

When I launched DW 2018 this morning, that site was missing from my Files Panel & Manage Sites definitions.

That's never happened to me before.

All is not lost. The folder is on my hard drive and it correctly populates in DW 2017. So I am exporting my .ste from 2017 and importing into 2018.

Weird huh?

I had the exact same thing happen. I'm rather mortified that my site list is messed up when I launched 2018 for the first time.

When I tried to import the STE from DropBox, Dreamweaver crashed. I copied the STE to a local drive, and Dreamweaver didn't crash.

Mac, Sierra.

It's no big deal if you have previously exported your STE (site definitions) from an earlier version of DW. Just go to Site > Manage Sites, hit the Import Site button.

Hi Nancy,

Can you please let us know-

1. platform? win or mac?

2. If WIN then what is the version and the edition of windows that you are using, if MAC then what is the version?

3. Before you encountered this issue, did you do any changes in the specific site settings like connecting to some server for that site or changing username/password for the server already setup? and then relaunch DW?

Regards,

1. 2017-11 Update for Windows 10 Version 1703 for x64-based Systems (KB4049011). Last update installed on 11/15/17.

3. I've made no changes to any of my site definitions. I did not connect to the remote server prior to this happening.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, Nancy. Do you think there is a way in which we could reproduce this issue. I know that the team will ask me for this info when I check with them.

In any case, I will bring this post to their attention to see if they have anything else to add to this topic.

Thanks,

Preran

I don't think I can reproduce it as I have no idea what caused it.

No worries, Nancy. I think that is the challenge that the team is having as well. I have forwarded your post to them to see if they have made any progress on this one that I am not aware of.
