Batch series find and replace in Dreamweaver 2017

Hi,

I've updated my Dreamweaver version for the 2017 one. I used to clean my html files by using the "Find and replace" with my .dwr documents that I've created. Previoulsy (DW 2016), in the "Find and replace" window, I clicked on the folder (up right), selected my .dwr (somewhere on my desktop) and got all the elements I wanted in Find to replace. Also I think it was pratical to be able to find some specific tags with styles and replace with some other tags, etc. Did DW 2017 lost all of these functions ? If not, is there a tutorial to learn how DW 2017 works with it ?

Is there someone that could help me with this batch thing in version 2017.

Thanks

Hi everyone,

UPDATE: Feature changes to Find and replace will be available later in 2017. The latest version has some critical bug fixes.

See Dreamweaver 2017.0.1 is now live  for more info.

Thanks,

How easy were bulk edits (Find and Replace) in the entire folder in old version of Dreamweaver.

Sometimes I do not understand who invented it? Uggrade 2017...terrible. I hope the next version will be back!

Find & Replace is different now.

Search for specific tag was removed.  Hopefully, it will be brought back in some future update.

In the meantime, use your previous version's Find & Replace.  If you did not keep the 2015 version, you can get it back from your CC Desktop App.  Click on Apps > Find Additional Apps > All Apps > View Previous Versions.
