Dreamweaver changing file IDs (inodes) when saving over network.

I know that dreamweaver supports working over network folders (Use network shared folders in the Site Definition in Dreamweaver) but everytime that I save a file using dreamweaver over network, the file id changes, breaking all hardlinks.

If i use others programs to edit the files, like notepad, the file ID remain the same. If I save files in local folders, using dreamweaver, this IDs remain the same.

Is this a BUG from dreamwever or is there a configuration to change how the network files are saved?

BTW: I tried this in CS6 and CC and the result was the same.

Hi,

Can you please give us more details on the following pointers-

Is the site root located on remote shared folder.
Where are the hardlinks for the files stored.
Is the site created by pointing to the folder through a hardlink.
can you please paste the original link and the link which got converted through Dw?

Hi Gupta,

You answered exactly as my coworker, I am not talking about web page links, I am talking about system file links.

A hardlink is used to have multiple files pointing to same memory space, so they have same contents.

If a program alter the file contents both files contents is altered. But if a program delete the file and save with the same name, the program is actualy creating a new pointer to another memory space, breaking the link between files.

This is the walk through to reproduce the problem.

Install Dreamweaver, don't configure site or anything not required.

In a remote desktop open command prompt (cmd) as administrator.

Create a new file and create a hardlink to it.

Check the file id (also called as inode in linux systems)
