Dreamweaver Crashes When Changing Sites

I feeled compelled to chime in here... and I hate to introduce myself by whining. However, after 20 years of using DW (yes, even Macromedia days)... this still happen to me regularly on otherwise very stable, clean, modern Macs. It is absolutely infuriating and I submit a bug report every time with appropriate negative feedback.

I'm sorry but "Restoring Preferences" is a band-aid solution! My preferences are there for a reason! The problem needs to be fixed at the code-level... not push the problem to the user. 

It's clear to me the Adobe puts minimum effort into improving this program and I've finally started taking my colleagues' advice to start looking elsewhere for a site editor that integrates FTP directly. Given the number of decent code/text-editors out there now, the integrated FTP is probably the only reason that I continue to use DW. This and the fact that it's simply included in a full CC subscription as I use several other programs. I honestly expect Adobe to completely drop DW in the near future anyway as it's not a featured package (ie. you can't subscrbe to it as a standalone App, it only comes bundled with other subscriptions).

Thanks for hearing me out and good luck with this maddening issue that has persisted through several generations of DW revisions.

Thanks guys, it's been happening off and on for about a year but now it happens about 90% of the time. I will try Nancy's suggestion.

Great to see some familiar names still here in the DW forums :-)

Brad, has there been an update of the OS recently? I ask this because there seems to be an increased number of complaints coming from Mac users.

Hi Brad,

In addition to Nancy's suggestion, have you made sure there are no special characters in your folder paths?
