Template child pages not updating - clearing cache

Hi everyone,

I need to clear Dreamweaver’s cache because the template child pages aren’t updating. It has happened before, but I can’t remember where to find the cache and which files need to be tossed.

With the ALT key pressed, I select “Library” from under the GO menu. In the Cache folder, I see the following three files related to Dreamweaver. Are these the files that need to go? If not, what should I be looking for, and where?

Cache.db
Chache.db-shm
Cache.db-wal

Still waiting for an update for Dreamweaver. It pains me to see Adobe abandon the program.

Thanks.

Mark

Sometimes the links between the child pages and the template page get corrupted, and I didn't know that cache cleanup could repair these artifacts.

As far as I'm concerned, if the child pages are simply affected in a slight way, from the context menu of the assets palette, the "update site" menu item often allows a real refresh.

Otherwise, the most categorical approach is to reapply the parent/child relationship by reassigning the template to the child pages. Generally, only a few child pages may fail to update, so simply open the child page that has become "detached" and reapply the template simply by dragging and dropping it from the assets palette onto the preview of the child page concerned.

Hi, and thanks everyone.

The problem is intermittent, but I may have found a way to resolve it.

I close and restart the program. It usually reopens with several files — between 4 and 8 — in the document window, some of which I had recently worked on, others not. I close them and then restart the program again. It reopens without any files in the document window, as you would expect. From then on, the child pages update without problems.

Somewhere, there is a glitch, but all that matters is that it works.

Lena, where exactly is the "update site" menu item?

Thanks again.
