Hi,
With this post I would like to ask a question.
Is it possible to add a custom (Javascript based) file type to Dreamweaver? Will Dreamweaver support auto-completion?
If so, how can this be done ?
Kind regards
To add support for something like Adobe extendscript, (which does not work for Dw extensions) you would also have to create the syntax checking and code hinting, as it would be adding something that is not already included in the supported code types. It is very similar to js but does contain a large number of non-standard js functions and syntax.
Your best course of action to add these would be to create a Brackets extension, and then convert the extension to work in Dw's implementation of Brack

Below are the file types that DW supports. What kind of file type were you thinking of adding?

Hi,
It we be very usefull if Dreamweaver would support the JSX (Adobe Extendscript) format. Adobe's development application for scripting (Adobe ExtendScript toolkit) is a real nightmare. The last 10 years there were no updates and a bugs are not solved. If developers have experience in products like intelliJ IDEA, WebStorm, Visual Studio and Netbeans, the EST is a frustrating application to use. It would be great if Adobe, or some else would like to try to add JSX support to Dreamweaver. If only a decent code completion would work without debugging capabilities, it would be a huge improvement. Others are trying to solve this issue by writing a workaround in Sublime Text, but maybe staying in an Adobe environment would be something to consider. Is it possible to add a new file type support in Dreamweaver ?
