New collapsing (folding) code in Dreamweaver cc 2015.

As long as were on the subject of Adobe CC's depreciated functionalities, perhaps others may have a persuasive rational for reinstating the FLV export in Premiere and Encoder. those flash cues come in super handy. Please bring that back. Twas the bomb-diggity being able to read the cues in the flash player.  On the recommendation of an adobe moderator,  I had to resort to previous versions for this, which the Cloud makes available, which is great...but still.BRING BACK FLV!

It's so frustrating to work with this limitation now, it was a great feature I rely on it daily to get through mountains of code. I'll certainly go back to my 5.5 if it's not reinstated soon and ditching my subscription to CC!

Wow... the numbers goes 140+...

I find it really interesting where the vote is for "new idea"...

This is an very old and very useful features... how can you treat them as "New Idea"?

Anyway... Please any of you felt the same... vote... I'm going back to CS6 anyway or PHPStorm maybe...

Add "collapse code" selection BACK into Code Toolbar to Dreamweaver CC 2015

Even I up-voted for this feature, and I do not use DW anymore - but several of my students still do, and they would very much dislike the new folding which was introduced in 2015.

I suppose the reason this code fold behaviour was changed (not saying this is good or bad!), is because the old version had no sense of the code order and organization.  This allowed for arbitrary custom code folds based on selections. The new version does have advantages (otherwise other mainstream code editors and IDEs would not have implemented the same system), but really needs simple shortcut keys to control the feature, and must be extended with other options which are readily available in the other editors and IDEs.

For example, both PHPStorm and Netbeans allow for custom code folds to be set, which can be controlled with attributes which decide whether they should be collapsed or not when loading the file.

// <editor-fold defaultstate="collapsed" desc="user-description">

  ...any code...

// </editor-fold>

This snippet inserts a custom fold in your php which collapses when the file is opened in Netbeans: very handy under circumstances.

Other handy options are automatic folding of html comments.

In a nutshell, I see the current implementation of code folding in DW to be at its infant stage. It is an unfinished feature.

Hey all,

I also complained about this feature...

Note: in CC you can roll back to previous versions of the software. While adobe clearly has their heads up their butt on this one, I don't use any of the features in the new software, so I rolled back to the previous 2014 release and my code collapsing is back.

Someone also mentioned PHPStorm - Brackets (Also be Adobe... insteresting) is pretty good and there is a code collapsing feature someone released as an extension, although it doesn't work well.

I strictly use Dreamweaver due to the code collapsing ability of the selected text, so rolling back is my only option at this point.

After several months of struggle dealing with strange editor changes our design team is phasing out the use of Adobe products for their work. We have found many other IDE's that are far better at doing all the above and do it intelligently without causing problems with each update. Adobe has refused to even acknowledge countless bug inputs by our team and thus because of their actions we have chosen to move on to various other IDE's such as phpStorm, Sublime Text. Most other web/php IDE's that focus more on a coder versus a designer have improved our design's team performance significantly.

Dreamweaver is good for someone first getting into web development I'm not denying that - but for real coders who develop back-end php systems you will be far better off moving on from this software to systems designed with you, the coder, in mind.

The new collapse is terrible.

Can't get used to it and is not helpful at all. Want to collapse a one line tag? No luck. Want to collapse a custom selection? No luck. Want to delete a collapsed fragment? Not as you'd expect - expands the selection and deletes a character from the selection. YAY!

Absolutely terrible

The new colapse is a bad idea from adobe in cc2015. Was a nice tool and very hepful until 2014. For me it's impossible to use a code editor without versatile colapses. I use it too much. If this tool don't return, I will considering to change to another code editor.

1 week after using Dreamweaver CC. I felt really frustrated without the select code folding.

They even removed the collapse shortcut key. Seriously? I to click on that little triangle thingy?

Also, I cant collapse 2 nested codes in same row. Because... they cannot have multiple triangle thingy on the left side...
