Dreamweaver 2017 - How to refresh local files

[Garrzilla]

I just updated to the new Dreamweaver 2017, and now the refresh button pops up this box:

All I'm trying to do is refresh the local files...

[BenPleysier · Accepted solution]

You pressed the Synchronise button. To refresh local files

[Garrzilla]

Hmm thank you. thats an odd place to put that button

Especially when it's been at the top for over a decade... one of the many changes made without any consideration of exiting users.

In all fairness, Dreamweaver has been totally re-designed with Brackets code engine.   It's worthwhile to take a few moments and read what's new in CC 2017.

But really, why change stuff like that? It was fine where it was...

[Nancy OShea]

Change is hard, I know.  But it was inevitable.  DW had not been fully overhauled since Macromedia owned it.  And it was way overdue.

OMG, thank you! This has been frustrating me for months!

Thank you!!! This was driving me nuts for months. I think it's finally time to review the new features as suggested above. I do wish, however, that Dreamweaver could automatically refresh as soon as a new file is added to the local folder. Is there a way to edit the refresh rate?

I simply hit F5.
