Dreamweaver Crashing [Branched from old topic about Manage Site freezes.]

I have the same issue with Dreamweaver crashing in Version 21.2, but I see this when I'm running a full-site search.

Agreed that this is super-annoying.

@MPindaHouse,

Which OS do you have? 

 

Crashes are usually indicative of something deeper like corrupted Preferences or bad user permissions. 

Please Restore DW Preferences and see if that helps.

If DW continues to crash, check your crash logs (aka Windows Event Viewer) to see what faulting module is causing DW to crash. 

 

In some cases, app crashes are caused by Creative Cloud Desktop App. And reinstalling CC Desktop App solves the problem.

Thank you both.

 

I have removed the contents of the preferences folders in my Users directory and (apart from losing my workspace setup), it does look like searches are currently no longer crashing the application.

 

Sorry I missed including details of my OS - I currently run Windows 10.

Well, I *was* up and running again... Now the application is crashing again...

 

It's kinda hard to write decent software when the software that you're using to write your own software isn't stable...

 

I will remove the preferences folders again...

Third time today deleting the preferences and Registry settings for Dreamweaver and the crashes keep coming...

 

I'm beginning to think that this issue is everything to do with the application itself, not the preferences or Registry settings...

 

I can't believe I'm actually paying for this software... 😞

@MPindaHouse,

As I said above, in some cases, app crashes are caused by corruptions in Creative Cloud Desktop App. Reinstalling CC Desktop App may help.

 

If you're on a Teams or Enterprise plan, contact your IT dept for assistance.

 

For individual plan members, use the Adobe Cleaner Tool below to wipe Adobe apps from your system and restart your computer before reinstalling CC Desktop App, DW, etc...

https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/cc-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html

 

Failing that, reach out to Adobe Technical Support for assistance.  Crashes are NOT normal.  Something deeper may be going on with your system.

@Nancy OShea , I thought that @MPindaHouse is talking about a crash when DW was doing a search ... isn't it ?

did I missed the question,... probably my frencglish played again with my reading... 🙂

 

so never mind... but if we're really talking about crash during search... calling anyone internal IT.. or Adobe support won't be of any help... as I said above it's a know bug... that's a FOL... a Fact Of Life as used to said some engeneers during the prerelease session... 🙂

Read the text @B i r n o u .  Use the language translator if needed. 

 

Teams & Enterprise users must work with their IT dept to a) reinstall software and b) submit a support ticket to Adobe. 

 

Please don't turn something simple I said into a 5 hour-long opera.  There's no need for it here.

@Nancy OShea what do you mean... why are you talking about Teams and Entreprise...? sorry I really miss your point... I was refering to the thread of @MPindaHouse

By @B i r n o u

=============

We don't know WHAT TYPE of membership plan the OP has.  I'm covering all bases here because problem resolution is different depending on what type of plan the user has.

  • Teams & Enterprise users must work with their respective IT department.
  • Individual plan members can contact Adobe directly. 

Does that make more sense now?

nope, not really...

 

I'm sorry...

 

because I have exactly the same problem than @MPindaHouse  (and unfortunally we're not alone), which is that when you launch a strong search (on a heavy file, as well as on a large site) DW crashes... and nothing helps.


friends at Adobe have tried everything, including in video to see what was going on... retrieved dump files, tried installation modifications... in short... they finally recognized that was a big bug... check the bugbase... you'll see all the thread and the conclusion...

 

so, as you recommand,  what would be the use of
1 - Teams & Enterprise users to work with their respective IT department?... to do what... correct the search bug ?


2 -  to Individual plan members who would contact Adobe directly... to be redirected to this forum.

 

Is it your turn to understand better what I mean by my question 😉 or should I write it in french that you could use deepl to help you... </joke>

You're on a crusade I guess.  Like I said above in another thread, whatever....  

 

This question was added to another topic about a completely different problem which just adds more confusion. I have since moved this question to its own topic.  But because we still don't have much information, we can only guess what all is going on here.

 

I think I've said all I can at this point.  We'll just have to wait and see if the OP comes back with more information.

@Nancy OShea does this response, allowed to the question of @MPindaHouse as it seams to be loacted in the thread in exchange for his words, or to @NetHawk who is the OP and has a definitely different question...

 

or both ;)... like Coca Cola which entered the US as a cure-all remedy... 

 

because reseting, restoring, re-creating, reloading, redrawing, resinging, re-amazing, reallocating... re what ever Incantation I done with regard to preferences settings... never... never helped DW to not crash on a large scale search... it's a long long time knowed bug that was never fixed by folks @adobe, and which seems to be well on its way to being a DW prerogative

I can confirm that nothing I do appears to make any difference to fixing this bug - reset preferences, reinstall the program, throw my PC across the room at a wall...

 

I have however found a workaround - open an SSH console and use grep.

 

Please let me know when this bug is fixed, Adobe. 😞

although a new version is in preparation, I think that Adobe has entered as previously announced in basic maintenance mode... and heavy bugs like this one will not be studied anymore.


as I said in a previous post, it's been a few years since it was put on the table, studied, analyzed... and that it was filed without follow-up... 🙂

Thanks for the update. I will wait for the new version with eager anticipation and hope they fully test the new software before they roll it out...
