New version seems to end access to PVII extensions.

Past updates have removed PVII extensions, but I’ve been able to reinstall with the DMXzone manager. But 21.8  causes DMX to report “menu.xml is corrupted”, and the Anastasiy Manager now flags the plugins as corrupted.

After removing  21.8, and restoring 21.7 I still can’t get the extensions back.

Does anyone have any info or ideas on how to restore the extensions, or is it just a lost cause?

    Update:

    I’ve been able to restore PVII extensions:

    I reinstalled 21.7,

    Removed the Configuration folder in my /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Dreamweaver 2021/en_US/, 

    and allowed Dreamweaver to build a fresh Configuration folder.

    Then I used the DMXzone app to re-add the extensions.

    For the time being I’m not going to try this with 21.8. I’ll just leave well enough alone.

    I gave up 3rd party extensions & never looked back. It’s liberating to be free from Extensions that tether you to a particular code editor & version.

     

    Manual code and Bootstrap components work in ANY code editor, not just DW.

      Yes, Nancy, I agree that’s the way to go, it’s just that the best time to do that always seems...next week, when I’m not so busy. Since the only web design I do is for my own site, next week never comes. But I really _must_ move on.
