Question

DW 2021 won't sync settings or import from previous version

This is an ongoing problem with every DW update. I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling; uninstalling/removing all references to Dreamweaver 2021 in AppData/restarting/reinstalling. Doing all this while making sure files palette is left open (historical post on this issue). It is just an ongoing frustrating bug. 

What is the workaround? Is it OK to just copy and paste the settings from the previous version in AppData>Adobe>Dreamweaver 2020 and App settings>Adobe>Dreamweaver>20.0 to corresponding 2021 folders? (Windows 10)

  1. Go to Edit > Preferences.
  2. Import Synced settings from the cloud.
  3. Apply Updates button.
  4. Close.
  5. Restart Dreamweaver.

 

Failing that, copy settings from your old version.

Thank you. Yes that it exactly what I tried. As you can see I tried everything. So this is a DW bug then. I will copy settings in the AppData folders.
