Apply source formatting not works good in the last version (2018)

[-Michele]

Hello,

I've a problem with the last version of Dreamweaver (2018) about "Edit->Code->Apply source formatting".

If I use it, the js code isn't formatted correctly.

For example, this is the correct code from a PVII extension:

<script type="text/javascript">P7_SOMop('p7SOM_1',99999,2,1,600,1,1,0,1,400,1,1,0)</script> 

This is the code after that I've applied the source formatting:

<script type="text/javascript">
              P7_SOMop( 'p7SOM_1', 99999, 2, 1, 600, 1, 1, 0, 1, 400, 1, 1, 0 )
        </script> 

For Google Analytics this is the results.

Before:

window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
  function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
  gtag('js', new Date());
  gtag('config', 'UA-');

After:

window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
function gtag() {
  dataLayer.push( arguments );
  }
  gtag( 'js', new Date() );
gtag( 'config', 'UA-' );

The code works good but I'd like to have the code formatted correctly.

is there an extension that can correctly format the code (in the same way as it was done on the previously DW's versions)?

Thanks

we need to add voice to the FR that will implement a better code format... are you involved in alpha ?

Hi Birnou,

I opened a post on "prerelease" forum.

[B i r n o u]

cool.. but if you check on the prerelease forum, I've already opened two thread ... one about code formating, and one about code coloring... be careful not to over-sweeten the subject by scattering it through different discussions

[B i r n o u]

one is

Road Map 2018 - code formating details

and the second is

Road Map 2018 - code formating and code coloring

[-Michele]

Don't worry Birnou, Adobe doesn't read our posts .

Adobe now is an Indian company and their culture is different from ours (American and European) and they don't give much consideration to these "details" (for example, formatting code).

I have more confidence in extension developers, maybe someone makes one for this purpose.

[B i r n o u]

I haven't the same vision than you do.

plus why should we pay an extra money to get a code format in within a code editor that should handle it natively ?

[-Michele]

Because the problem with "formatting code" is there from the first version of the new Dreamweaver (2017) and Adobe never fixed it (a lot of requests are also made on dreamweaver. uservoice. com).

Maybe the extension's developers are faster...

For the "India" discourse is obviously only my/personal vision/opinion.

[B i r n o u]

I agree that a lot of polish are still waiting to be done... but I don't think that it is up to the developers of extensions to correct them, or to implement them, because that it will necessarily generate a cost, (that I do not context in itself) but that should not be a supplement to the cost of the IDE

This bug is still there in the last 18.1 version.

Adobe doesn't seem very interested in giving a future to this software.

Sadly, this has been pretty obvious for a long time.  I've been redoubling my efforts to convince our higher-ups to make the switch to Lucee for primarily that reason.  Also, there seems to be a lot of explaining away in an effort to avoid actually doing anything that users ask for, things that should have been in place from the beginning.

I checked with the team, and they said that they weren't able to address the bug in this update. This bug is still live, and will find a fix in a future update.

Thanks,

Preran

I'm sorry Preran but now I've lost all hope in Adobe.

Release a software with serious problems of stability/functionality, identifies a bad management.

Hi Preran,

the bug is still there also in the last build downloaded today.

Please, could you ask to the "team" about this issue (for me is very important, I'm still on CC 2015 because of this)?

Thanks,

Michele

Hi Michele,

Am checking with the Dreamweaver team. Will get back as soon as I hear from them.

Thanks,

Preran

The DW team let me know that this was a bigger fix, and did not make it to this update. They are planning to fix it in the next. Stay tuned for updates.

Apologize for the inconvenience meanwhile.

Thanks,

Preran
