Hey Ben the way I am working with it, and I maybe wrong, Is I connect to the Localhost and the src files in the project are edited and everytime you save they are recompiled and sent to the distribution files which in turn then generate your new view. So localhost is watching that file. Is there a way to accomplish that? Have the styles and new partials and layout pages routed to the default.html page and that is the file that is being watched by live reload. I tried changing the URL in the browser but t hat doesn't work. I am new to this way of doing things so I may not be explaining it perfectly. Using Gulp or Compass or Handlebars is all pretty much the same which I see DW has supported now so I asked the question hoping someone had a workflow for HandleBars. In short it is the way most are getting their frameworks out through the CLI. ... View more

I don't know. Did you try signing out of the desktop app and signing back in? All I can think of. Look at preferences and maybe you can change it there. ... View more

I still don't use Dw. Love it or the direction and idea. The live reload is to wonky and I just can't get it working right or I should say consistently working. I use Cloud 9 and Visual Studio Code/Terminal mostly now. I check in on DW when updates hit and when they get it together I'll be back, maybe. I consider DW to be a freebie thrown in with Photoshop/Illustrator and Bridge and Animate CC. I couldn't see myself pay Adobe that much a month just for DW, way to many free options out there. Damn good editors and ftp clients the Github app or Source Tree and good to go for me. All free! Problem is web dev is going a different way these days and if they don't change and go back to 1985 like everyone wants then they will lose. DW as it stands now is still way behind and have a long way to go to be relevant again so if you don't like change hold on to your hat I think it's gonna get bumpy! ... View more

  I just gotta say as I read all the complaints about loss of time and money. I find it hard to believe that as a "Pro" you have only one option for editing. I mean I have three or four always and if one is updated and buggy I move over to my next favorite. If I get bored using one I might switch to a different one. My point is that I can't believe that DW is your only option and for the important things you are not using source control. Once shit happens you don't make a move and use something stable until the other is worked out is beyond me. I know there is that initial time wasted finding out things went bad but enough to shutter the doors I would hope not. If a major update comes out and you update without knowing or investigating if it will work for your business before you put it into production shame on you. Have a great day! ... View more

I did validate and all was good Ben thanks for the reminder. I want to clarify how exactly that I use DW. I usually use Live view and checking in the browser, I never use design mode. I tried in the beginning to use design mode and never saw the benifit of using it. It seems to me to add another layer into the process and a waste of my time. I usually write the code and then preview in the browser so when the live reload functionality came out I was super excited. When I first installed it everything worked great. For some reason that didn't stay the case. It degraded over time and stopped being usuable. I recently got a new machine thinking that mine was to old for the new software coming out being a 2011 machine. I use a MacBook pro 15 from 2015 and an iMac a couple weeks old and both have the same issue. I didn't bring over anything from the old machine so a fresh start. Live Reload doesn't work on the new machines either and the jumpiness thing happens on both machines as well. My process is very simple. I have a framework that I am using for this particular site some I don't and start form scratch and have validated every page. Short of some percentage widths instead of pixels there are no issues. I saet up the structure and I bring the files in. I have some Template pages that are not templates in terms of DW but they are and I use snippets a lot. So I start with all the head and scripts and some minimal sections for each page and save all those and run from there. The live reload is awesoe because it loads on save and I can have a second screen and use DW in Dev mode. I'm in love or so I thought. Exactly the set up I wanted. I will take any suggestions you all have because that is why I come here and I respect what you guys and gals have to offer and have learned a great deal here on this forum. Thanks for all your help with all my stupid questions and Happy Coding. I am sure they will get this worked out and when they do I will be back. ... View more

It took that long because of it crashing and me having to restart. Insert the tag and it freezing and having to restart and the past few things I've done had to be done again. Then having to reboot. it froze again and had to reload again. It wasn't actually the loading of any media just doing things and having to redo them. Trying then to get the live reload to work because I had no preview but then realizing that wasn't working either. So it took so long because of fiddling and troubleshooting. I don't believe that it has to do with incorrect code because it has been happening in a lot of different scenarios all though I would not rule that out because I would not say I am an expert or anything. I am not really using the template feature but more of a base page that I resave and start from there. Either way other editors I use I don't have that problem but I would really like to use DW. It is free with membership and I know how to use it best. The jumpiness dates back a few versions and is an on going issue I have posted bug reports about a few times. I am talking about when you click on something in live view and instead of highlighting that particular item it jumps to the top of the page. I don't work in design view. Never got used to that. Seems hard to deal with to me. Anyway I have to scroll back down to what I wanted to select and select it again. Most times it only happens once but one out five it does it a second time. I am on an iMac that is only a few weeks old pretty loaded with the latest OS whatever that is called now. I've tried reinstalling and a bunch of things. Maybe it's because of macOS maybe it's just me. Either way I can't use it. ... View more

I'm with you Nancy I actually like the new DW and have not noticed anything that has held me back. I am doing refactoring site wide and searching very fast. I will say I have some kinks like once I have had it open for awhile things start to get a little quirky with the live-reload, by the way which is awesome, but other than that I have been ok.  Guess I'm lucky. ...

I see all these posts on this thread of how bad DW is and I just don't see. I'm lucky I guess. It works just as good as any other comparable program. With a few minor tweaks it should be good which if I remember correctly the blog had said they were working on it. I think it's way better than it was but have yet to use the designer panel. My biggest issue was multiple cursors and better shortcuts along with live reload. They did that and I'm happy. I like the editing CSS without going to the file. What else is there? The search thing seems to be a big thing for people but been ok so far for me but I don't refactor a lot. One thing I thought weird was getting rid of the beta site. Good luck everyone. ...

Really wasn't saying that. I was using VC Studio till this release which I happen to like a lot but only if in the near future they fix the jumpyness. If they don't then back to VC. Fanboy,yes I am, Adobe has the best products mostly so I use them. Would be an idiot not to. CC is the best and easiest system out there to get it done. No work arounds, one fee and done. Which is why I would love to see them get DW to where I think it should be and they are close. That way I got one place to go and don't have to do a bunch of fiddling to get things done. ... View more
