Looking for some guidance please - I have a new Mac and I want to transfer all of my settings in Dreamweaver from my old computer to my new computer - is there an easy way to do this? This would include all my prefrences, FTP settings etc. and anything else that I may not be thinking of. 

 

Thanks in advance for the guidance and help.

    If you export the sites files, you can move the FTP definitions and sites from one computer to another. You will still need to move the HTML/CSS files from one computer to the other. As for other preferences those are in your user library --> application support --> Dreamweaver {version} and you can move those files from one computer to the other as well. Just be aware if you are getting a new Mac with Sonoma there is currently a bug that causes DW to crash whenever you right click and is unfixed at this point in time, so DW may be unusable at present because of this.

      ========

      Yes.  Sonoma is a problem  Do not use right-click in Dreamweaver.

      No word yet on a fix.

       

      Dreamweaver Preferences for importing synced settings from Creative Cloud.  See screenshot.

       

      Keep in mind that Dreamweaver is in minimal maintenance status which means no new features are planned.  Use it alongside other coding tools that are in active development.
