Save documents

Hi,

I'm new in Adobe Dreamweaver, and I should find a place to save a document from Dreamweaver. At first, I chose my Documents-folder on my MacBook Air (mid 2013), but then I got a warning from Dreamweaver that if I save that file to the normal Documents-folder, it will "crash" with my folder from Lightroom. I don't know why I got this warning, but I think it warned me that if I save that file to Documents-folder, it will cause connections problems or something problems with the connection. So I chose to save my file from Dreamweaver in a folder with some other folders, and inside a new folder in the first folder.

This seems a little bit unsafe. It's a little bit creepy for me. I'm new at this. I'm doing photography, and it's a little bit creepy that the first message I get is that I can destroy or crash / make conflict with the connection with Lightroom. I don't know I'm nervous for this, but I hope someone will help me or guide me. I have fixed it and the folder is placed inside another folder, and again inside that folder, but I'm still worried for my photos. The version of Dreamweaver is the latest, Adobe Dreamweaver CC 2017.

Is this so scary / creepy as I make it up to be, or what should I think in this situation?

Is it safe to code locally on my Mac? Does professionals code locally? This prevents me from starting with learning coding!

I really hope for help from you all!

Best Regards,

Gerhard Øpsen

All of my sites are saved under a single main folder. Each site has its own folder (named whatever you like) within it that holds all files relating to that site...

Websites (or htdocs if you are using a testing server locally)

     Site 1

          index.html

          pages

          images

          css

     Site 2

          index.html
