Hi All,

I was wondering if someone can tell what is in the extension that makes the extension compatible in windows and mac?

I have an extension that runs in windows, but when I installed it in mac, I couldn't click on the menu to execute the extension. It seemed that the menu was disabled (was gray).

Does someone know what went wrong with my extension?

Thank you for the help 🙂

Dreamweaver was never fully compatible with OS X. While most things work,
there are lots more glitches on OS X than on Windows. You could take some
convoluted measures to work around the Mac issues, but our feeling is that's
Adobe's and Apple's job. That said, if you install the command linked below
and
then restart Dreamweaver, you might gain access to your menu. Let me know.

The extension worked in my mac.

Now another problem though, I tried my extension on mx2004 and CS3. It didn't seem to be error, was installed perfectly, but when executed, it didn't do anything.

The extension heavily uses dwfile.copy(), is it the reason it doesn't work on those version?

Hi,

I've been checking my extension. It seems that it doesn't work on CS3 and MX2004 because the menu doesn't really execute the file that should be executed. So the javascript in the file is not executed.

Do you think this is the best way to execute the file?
