"Dreamweaver encountered problems while constructing the menus from the current menus.xml file. Please delete the current menus.xml file and rename menus.bak to menus.xml" I tried that. menus.bak is a directory, not a file. Even renaming the directory didn't work. menus.bak should definitely be a file. It's a backup of menus.xml. For me, the xml file is in my Personal Config folder inside a folder named Menus. Can you paste a screenshot of what you see in that folder? Have you tried deleting the Configuration folder entirely and letting Dreamweaver re-build it next time it launches? ... View more

Layers still exist - they were renamed AP Divs from Dreamweaver CS3 onwards (because that is what they are - Absolutely Positioned Divs). You're not referring to Timelines, are you? If so, they disappeared with CS4 because of the outdated bulky code used to generate them. Can you tell us more about these resizeable. movable text boxes that you want to create? Got any links to similar examples on other websites? ... View more

You're confusing yourself. 1 image pixel = 1 pixel on screen. dpi is irrelevant on screen. It only matters when printing. A 100px x 100px image is always 100px x 100px on screen. ... View more

Software has to be specially written for the iPad and other mobile devices.

Windows>Timelines feature.  Are you suggesting that that great feature is in DW's past and not its future?  Inconceivable! That's correct. The video was probably created a few years ago in Dreamweaver 8 or CS3. Dreamweaver CS4 and CS5 do not have Timelines and they won't be returning in any future version. I think that's a good thing. As interesting as Timelines were in DW, they were created via some horrendously outdated and bulky Javascript. Rather than waste resources updating a little used feature, Adobe chose to remove it altogether and let users create animations in Flash which is far more suited to that task. ... View more

CS5 shipped in April 2010. Going by Adobe's usual 12-18 month upgrade cycle, I would not expect to see CS6 until at least Sep-Oct 2011. By Timelines, are you referring to the Timeline feature in DW which was dropped in CS4. That won't return. ... View more

Fair enough Simon. DW is not perfect and I have my issues with DW too, esp Adobe's poor approach to patch management. However, clean code to me is one of DW's strengths. Adobe never removes features lightly and I'm certain that extensive research was done to establish that few people were using DW's in-built validator - or at least not enough to warrant improving it. I have never used it. I'm sure others use it regularly. But given the W3C validator is the standard by which most people benchmark their code, I think Adobe is wiser to drop a weak validation feature in DW than spend engineering hours getting it at least equal to the existing W3C validator. ...

      given the ever-constant criticism DW gets for churning out grotty code by the mile Careful with the mudslinging. That's not DW's reputation at all - quite the opposite in fact.

Can you provide reproducible grotty code examples which are not user created? ... View more

Actually if you pre-ordered CS5, the release date was 4/29 and the product was available for download on 4/30 so it was late in some respects. The details have obviously been tightened up as shipping approached. I do remember that the date at launch was sometime in May. Regardless, it's here now and the calls for help have already begun. ... View more

In the last 24 hours. Seems Adobe's CS5 strategy was to underpromise (CS5 available "in May" according to the FAQ) and overdeliver (actually shipped 29/30 April). The surprise to me was that the Trials were made available on the same day as the product shipped. In the past, the Trials were made available a week or two after shipping. ... View more

Similar experience to me, Bill. Perhaps the dialogue boxes warning about simultaneous instances of the same apps with the same serials have disappeared. My main point was that there's no reason to jump in a car and rush to the office, or even log in remotely, to close an Adobe app just because you inadvertently left it open on a computer in the office. ... View more

As far as leaving your computer on at the office. The adobe product left open running will have to be turned off before you can open it on your laptop. So yes, you will have to drive back to the office and turn your computer off. I've had this situation occasionally in the past and these occasional instances seem more practical and ethical than technical. If they are on the same network then the software launches a dialogue box preventing two copies being used with the same serial no simultaneously. However, provided the two computers are not on the same network then I can use DW or Photoshop or whatever at home while it is also inadvertently left open at work. AFAICS, it's not like the Adobe activation servers are playing Big Brother and monitoring every copy of Creative Suite globally 24/7. ... View more

I have the funny feeling it's going to be released on the 10/10/2010 or it might also be the 20/10/2010 Unlikely. Sales of CS4 are now effectively zero since we all know that CS5 will be announced on 12 April. Adobe would not announce the new release and wait 6 months to ship with no revenue from CS4. Previous versions have shipped 4-6 weeks after launch. I expect something similar with CS5. ... View more
