Hi.
I have 3 different versions of a web magazine locally:
domain.tld (the active version)
draft.domain.tld (the version with new articles not yet published, but short before)
beta.domain.tld (the version with major changes, which needs further development, a field for experiments, tests, etc.)
I like to use the images of one of these three local directories in the two other directories in form of a symbolic link.
So I created a symbolic link of "~/websites/domain/draft.domain.tld/img" in "~/websites/domain/beta.domain.tld/"
In the file manager of the macOS the "~/websites/domain/beta.domain.tld/img" is shown with a little arrow and works without problems. I can access all the images.
But in DW does show in his internal file manager: "For this extension no valid editor could be found"
My question:
How can use a symbolic link of a directory in DW please?
Thanks.

If I understand the problem, then the symbolic link has an extension that Dreamweaver does not recognise. If that is the case, then have a look at Adding a custom file extension to Dreamweaver - YouTube

Thanks Ben.
But the symlink has no extension.
I just want to know if DW can handle symlinks or not.
The file manager of the OS, finder, could handle the symlinks without any problem.
So I wonder, why DW can't handle it.
Is there anyone who tried to use symlink in DW? May be on a Linux oder macOS?
