Hi everyone,

I'm testing DW Beta and a couple of day ago I got the message for the new update, then I go to the prerelease site and click on download button for Windows 64 bit ... but the downloaded version is 17.9

there's something wrong in link attached!

Thanks a lot

@Giordano,

Can you access the Pre-Release forum?

That's where you should report the problem so the DW team can fix it.

How can I roll back to previous version? I had no idea I was installing a "work in progress."

Anyone know how to change the syntax colors in latest beta? Can't seem to find the option and default colors are atrocious to me.

Hi, I'm an Adobe Creative Cloud member. If I download and install the Beta version of Dreamweaver, will it overwrite my existing Dreamweaver CC 2015 version? It may seem like a dumb question, but I thought I'd ask first before trying to potentially dig myself out of a hole.

Thank you, M. Mead

No, it won't interfere with your other DW. It installs to a folder on your Desktop. That said, I don't like to use Beta software on production sites unless I have redundant backup files I can revert to just in case something goes wrong.

Is there any way to preview different pages in different browser tabs, as usual?

I'm using DR beta 4 and in the past (or full version), we can make a page change and preview that version of the page and then compare the changes in each tab.

Now it seems that previewing propagates the new page in all of the open tabs. So, we can't compare the design differences per tab.

Thanks if this is a simple setting, or not.

Short answer: No.

Long answer: you will need to type the address into the browser, similar to localhost/yoursite

OK. Thanks for your reply.

I hope they address this. It seems an obvious oversight, to me anyway.

Is there a way to unlock the Code View Options? These settings are grayed out, and I would like to change them.

Not everything has been enabled in the Beta. It's still a work in progress. As far as I know, Code View Options are currently disabled.

The best place to discuss the beta is in the dedicated forum: https://forums.adobeprerelease.com/dwalpha/discussions. It's monitored by the engineering team, who are keen to get feedback on features that are important to you. It's a much better place to get definitive answers about the beta and what's planned for the future.

There is no option to change the live code background. How can you change the live code background color in Beta?

I think you have misunderstood the question, Ben. Your solution provides a background colour to the page in Live View. I think that juleskab is referring to Live Code, which is now accessed from the View menu in the Dreamweaver Beta.

There is currently no way to change the background to indicate the difference between the raw code in the file and Live Code as generated by the browser. The options to change the colours in Code View are severely limited in Dreamweaver Beta at the moment because the Preferences panel hasn't yet been updated.

juleskab, go to the Dreamweaver Beta forum, and post your question there. The Adobe team will be able to tell you if changing the background colour of Live Code is planned for a future build. You might be asked to file a bug report to get it on the radar for the engineers.

it doesn't have to be an extension per-say... Its not rocket science to remember a user id… we already sign in to our Adobe account when ever we use any of the products and automatically get linked to BC when pressing the publish button from Muse but Adobe can’t find a coder able to link-up a BC sync button for Dreamweaver so that people don't need the silly 'web address' / 'email' /'dw' system… that’s too hard?

I am not an Engineer, and there were probably other dependencies that weren't conducive to the workflow. I will check with the team when I meet them next. Having said that, I haven't received too many requests on forums or on social media requesting for the extension.

Thanks Preran, perhaps the old timers are just happy to put up with it… in any event Adobe can decide for themselves and I’m just putting it forward as my recommendation.

Is there any word on if Adobe will bring back the Business catalyst extension?

the loss really hurts Dreamweaver as a tool people are willing to learn ime.

Hi

The BC extension was developed and maintained by the BC team, so it would be better to ask this question in the BC forum, as it is them that dropped development and not the Dw team.
