Dreamweaver ugh

[telophase]

I've got my copy of Dreamweaver more-or-less beat into submission, but now, when I go to open a document, it's inexplicably started opening up at the same directory every time. What's annoying is that it's not the directory I usually use, so I have to navigate out of that to the one I use every single time. I can't find a place in Dreamweaver that tells it where to go first when opening documents - anyone out there know?

I don't quite remember what it used to open as - it was before the Christmas break and I've slept since then - but I think it jsut started at the top of the directory hierarchy.

And no smug posts from people saying they use Notepad. I like that Dreamweaver closes tags for me, because it's (a) less typing for me and (b) cuts way down on the number of stupid mistakes I make from mistyping the closing tags. Plus (c), Dreamweaver templates, so I don't have to change every.single.page on this other site I maintain when there's a change in navigation (I'm stuck on a server that won't allow includes).

It takes just as long to navigate to the primary directory I work in because it's on a server that is not my computer. I have to click through several directories to get there to right-click. I'd like to tell it to automagically open that directory, which would cut down on most of my clicking.

It *used* to just open in whatever directory I last used, which I could deal with.

Hmmm. *fires up Dreamweaver, pokes at it*

The only way I could recreate what you're describing (I think) was if I had a Site defined in Dreamweaver, in which case it would default to that Site's local directory. If no Sites defined, it would just open the last directory I opened from. 6.6a

Could be someone's buggered the permissions on the computer you're using. I know school/work tech people sometimes do that "for your own good/protection."
