Couldn't open file after dropping onto top bar of DW CS6

Hi there,

There is some glitch in the program, i think, while i'm not able to open file (php, html or js) after dropping it onto to top bar of the panel. At start when file is "grabbed" the cusror is changed to "plus sign" - this is normal behavior, but after that, when the file was dropped onto that top bar nothing happened. As the result the referrenced file s not opened. This is so frustrating,and i have to go thru the long way - menu,open file, browse etc.
Is there any explanation of this program behavior?

    I haven't used legacy CS6 in a dog's age nor would I want to. It can't cope with responsive layouts or modern code (PHP, JS, CSS & HTML5).   That said, maybe your OS was updated recently and is no longer compatible with CS6.  😉

     

    In any case, assuming your local site folder is defined as it should be, just open your Files panel (F8) and launch your file from there.

    I do not follow what you are trying to do. The way that I open a file is by double clicking it in the File panel. No dropping or grabbing involved.

     

    As an `aside`, DWCS6 is a bit long in the tooth, being 9 years old this year. Time for an upgrade.

    Wappler is the DMXzone-made Dreamweaver replacement and includes the best of their powerful extensions, as well as much more!

    It is so simple user action sequence. Pick the file, for example, in the File Explorer (DW supported, of course).

    Drag the file onto DW panel.

    Drop the file onto DW panel and - NOTHING!!!

    I put the image below to explain the situation.
