Hi,

With this post, I would like to submit a feature request.

It would be great if users could create and use "project templates" ( a collection of html, javascript, css, php, ... files and folders). Users should be able to start a new website based on a project template.

Thanks

Ps

Another solution could be to integrate and support Maven Archetypes

The possibility of Dw incorporating the ability to create and work with projects, in which all the required 'starter' material defined by a user is available from the start, (and available/configurable across multiple projects) has been discussed since CS6, and again more recently between myself and one or two others via the forums PM system, and emails.

I don't know if it will ever actually happen, but the others involved are i think part of the Dw pre-release, (or possibly CAB group) so even though i would not recommend the pre-release too none Dw users, (not using Dw as main dev. environment) if you are interested in discussing this further then joining the pre-release would be your best option.

Inayal, in your git related post, posted a link for the pre-release, which you or anyone else interested could use. It is certainly too late to get features not already planned into a release for this year, but if you start a discussion on the subject, others are interested, and the pre-release forum is the place to get your ideas better known.

Are you aware of the Dreamweaver Starter Templates?  See screenshots.

Once your document is saved, DW creates file assets and folders for you.

Are you aware that the OP inquired about creating templates? Looking at your screenshot I do not see anything that addresses the OP's request of being able to create their own template.

Maybe you have this confused with another question

As I read this, the OP is asking about Project Templates.  If you used the feature (which I kind of doubt), you would know that starter templates are essentially a project package that DW creates.
