Dreamweaver CS6 will not allow a path with a chrome profile in edit browser list

The link to a chrome profile is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --profile-directory="Profile 5"

the quotes are required. to run on the cmd line. Dreamweaver rejects this. When the Quotes are removed I still get a rejection.

the error message is "The path does not specify an existing file". I built a exe file with the link and Dreamweaver accepted it but

it opens a New Chrome profile without the html page I am creating in Dreamweaver. Does anybody have a workaround?

This happens in the File-Preview in Browser-Edit Browser List.

#1 I know of no way to make the Edit Browser List dialogue accept profiles. And that goes for any version of DW.

#2 CS6 is unsupported software from 2012. So it's never ever going to be updated to support this.

But feel free to submit a feature request below.

If your idea receives enough interest from other users, it might get added to a future release of DW CC.

In the meantime, my advice is to create a customized desktop icon in Chrome (offered when you create a profile) and use that to open the browser.

Can you use another browser like Firefox and then copy & paste the page URL into Chrome?

I can use another browser. The Point here is that Dreamweaver will not allow :" " around a path nor " " around a comment after the

chrome.exe The link to a chrome profile is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --profile-directory="Profile 5" it will not accept the -profile-directory="Profile 5" section. the qkuites are required by chrome I surmise that Dreamweaver attaches the path to the page it is loading and the profile-directory and "" get in the way. So if we go into the config file somewhere we should be able to patch in the path. I use Profile 5 for a chrome profile that is loaded with programming links and tabs.

Thanks in advance
