DW 2019 macOS: "default.css" will be minified with uploading it to the site

Hello.

When I upload "default.css" to the site, it gets minified automatically.

 

I couldn't find the option to deactivate that function.

 

Please, can you give me a hint? Thanks.

    Thanks for your helpful answers.

    Yesterday I asked the admin of the server, if there are any processes on the server which can cause that minification. He said "no".

    What I really wonder is, that, when use the command in DW to upload to the site the  "default.css" get's minified, but a test file "default-foo.css" (in the same folder) get's not.

    Further: When I upload "default.css" via my file manager (instead of DW), "default.css" get's not minified.

    I do not use any extension with DW.

    Hhhmmm. At the moment I do not know what else I can do to find the cause.

    The solution was in thread you posted:

    When I change the linebreak type from "macOS" to "Linux LF" everything is fine.

      Or possibly you installed a 3rd party extension that minifies scripts??

        Dreamweaver doesn't do anything to auto-minify that I am aware of.  Have you confirmed with your server administrator that there is nothing on the server side doing this?
