Hi

My Mac Dreamweaver CS6 opens html files in about 1-2 minutes! It is very very slow. It all works when the file is open but it is the actual opening that is slow.

I have turned off external files but no change.

Any ideas??

Thanks

    I too have been running into this problem. Would appreciate hearing of any fixes coming up. Also, don't know if it's related, but I've also had a number of spontaneous crashes of DW, always occur just after I've selected a command of some sort in DW.

    Does this occur with all files?

    To test for sure, please create a new document using one of the preset layouts (e.g. 3 column fixed), save the file, quit/restart Dreamweaver, and then try opening that file.

    If it's not happening with the new file, can you share a link to a page you are having this issue with? Or at least the code from the page if it's not yet live?

    Hi Carey

    Thanks for you answer.

    It seems that Dreamweaver struggles with anything it thinks is 'complicated'.

    It opened the above (your suggestion) pretty quickly. However, when I opened this index page (http://www.digitaldeluxe.net) it took approx 30 seconds.

    Also when I changed site from the Files page, changing from one site to another takes a long time too. Like 30-60 seconds if the site is reasonably big (I am a web developer with 10 year experience with Dreamweaver).

    It's fine in CS5.5 but terrible in CS6.

    Thanks
