link with editor

[pham_mn]

Hello,

There is a feature in CF Builder called "link with editor".  I am new to Dreamweaver and wonder if there is such a "Link With Editor" feature in Dreamweaver?

Thank you

What does "Link with Editor" do exactly?

Hello,

In the DW screen, on the left side it shows all of your files, when you click/select a file, it will open the file and show it on the right side.  Let say you open so many files, by go back and forth between opening files, you just click on the tabs, my quesion is when I click on the tab, I like DW shows my where is that file located on the left side

I hope it makes sense to you.

Thank you for your time.

Hello 

I found it in DW.  But I have to do it manually.  It is not allow me to set it to be selected/checked at all time.

To use Dreamweaver, you must define a local site folder first.

Go to Site > New Site and tell DW where your site files are located on your primary hard drive.

Once the site is defined, you can see a tree of files and folders in the Files Panel (F8).

Dreamweaver IS a code editor but support for ColdFusion was removed from it years ago.

Look at Visual Studio Code or Eclipse with CFML extension.

I thought Dreamweaver is the IDE that strongly supports ColdFusion?

Thanks

[Nancy OShea]

Nope.  Modern DW supports the following: (see screenshot)

You are right and thank you for that, but that is not my question is about.  Please see above my reply to Jon Fritz

Thanks again.

CFBuilder recomends you use CFEclipse.

Dreamweaver is not a CF IDE.

Thanks for the information, but we use DW at work as CF Editor

[Nancy OShea]

Why don't you ask the ColdFusion community which editor to use?  You'll likely get better answers there as nobody here uses ColdFusion anymore.

"....there as nobody here uses ColdFusion anymore...." You meant ColdFusion Builder or ColdFusion?

Thanks

[Nancy OShea]

I mean Coldfusion programming code.
