Dreamweaver 21.3 bogs down with many files open can I increase performance or memory allocation?

Question

I am doing a global find and replace on in excess of 80 files at a time with a 16 gig windows 10 desktop cpu.

If I add more than 80 html files to do global find replace, dreamweaver becomes very unstable and slow, and even crashes.

I can not see any area to increase memory allocation like in photoshop.

Is there a way to increase memory allocation or other suggestions when opening a large number of files.

Thanks Adobe community for suggestions

Cheers

Alan

Dreamweaver doesn't use Scratch Disk and RAM like Photoshop. Therefor, there is no option to allocate more memory to DW. It will use whatever your system has available. Maybe you need an equipment upgrade.

In the meantime, restart your computer to reset RAM. Close all non-essential apps & background processes. Open only one or two files at a time. If your site is properly defined, Dreamweaver can search unopened files in your local site folder.

Hope that helps.
