Question

"Auto push on save" for files not edited by DW

"Auto push on save" is very convenient. But there are types of files that DW does not deal with. I would like to do (1) edit some files using other software (2) save the file to the directory that DW works (3) DW runs auto push. Is it possible?

    nope unfortunnaly Dreamweaver doesn't propose any watch function.. but you can set a grunt, gulp or any npm runner for that purpose

     

    well, I just google the subject to find out a tutorial,

    so here are some tracks where you can start from

    of course... it's a NodeJS independant system. it seams obscur and complex, but it's really pretty easy to set it up and make it runs

    Hi @20240603 ,

     

    Thanks for writing to us. The workflow mentioned is not possible with Dreamweaver 'Auto push on save' option since Dw will push the files edited in Dw only. We see 'File Synchronization' feature would perform the workflow you are looking for where new files or file content changes will be listed in a dialog for review before pushing all the required files/folders to the server. PFB the article for more info on File synchronization feature.

    Have a pleasant day!

    "We see 'File Synchronization' feature would perform the workflow you are looking for where new files or file content changes will be listed in a dialog for review before pushing all the required files/folders to the server."

    What does it mean? What is the difference from "Auto push on save for all files"?

    Hi @20240603 ,

     

    File Synchronization workflow will list the edited or new files in comparision to local and remote server files. In this case, after you edit the file using other software, you can switch to Dw and perform File synchronization to see the files listed are the right set of files and click Ok to push all the files to the server at once. This workflow will have to be done as and when you need to push the files but will not be auto pushed to the server.

     

    Thanks,
