Hi Preran,
please send a message to the developer team to remove jQuery Mobile/UI as mobile platform on Dreamweaver, this framework is discontinued from several years... anyway, a small bug is in the "indent" (preferences -> code format -> indent), not works.
I suggest for the next version (as long as there is one in the timeline) to works on the new technologies support as PWA and/or more integration with Adobe XD.
The latest years for Dreamweaver seem a path to the inevitable death.

Hi Michele,

 

Thanks for your valuable feedback, we will highlight it to the team.

Regarding Indent issue, can you please share the indent preference (screenshots). Also, is this specific to a particular file. Could you please share more information like file type, size and the workflow to reproduce this issue locally to investigate further.

I've resetted the DW preferences and now the "indent" behaviour returned to works good. Thanks

A little underwhelming for a major release. #RIPDreamweaver

I'm going to stick my neck out now, (translation for Birnou - its like saying 'put my neck into the guilotine, and hope no one pulls the lever'). I don't contribute to the forum much anymore, but over the holidays, I did speak with a number of people looking to start out in web development, and what I learned was -

 

No one who intends to make a career in web development uses Dw anymore. However some did use Dw whilst in Uni, or further education, simply because of the student discount, and 'other' adobe products being requiered for the course(s) taken. This I think leaves Dw as something only used by none coders, (read not large or enterprise requierments) or those who would have to use other adobe products anyway.

 

In that respect, I think Dw is actually all that is required. Simply because it meets the requirements of the small site builders, working for themselves, or only building sites on a casual or personal basis, and not requiering anything more than a basic rwd site or newsletter creation.


I think the problem with Dreamweaver is that in the last years has lost its identity, it's neither fish nor fowl.
It's not a tool for web developers and neither for web designers (its original target when it was developed from Macromedia). It would be enough for the Dreamweaver's Team to go on the Wappler's forum to understand what people really want.

Hello ELK2010,

Have you tried checking for Updates in your Creative Cloud? Here is how you do it

  • Launch Creative Cloud
  • Click on the Updates category on the left pane
  • Click on the More options icon (Ellipsis) on the right top corner
  • Choose Check for Updates

If that did not work, please check the below System Requirements document required to run the latest DW update

Please let us know if the above didn't help
