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).

Really easy way to open a document in specific in Dreamweaver (the way I always do it, so I can't really answer your question) is to right-click the document, then select "Edit in Dreamweaver."

I am all loves for teh Dreamweaver. It's nice, clean, friendly coding. The WYSIWYG editor ain't bad either. I also use it at work me ownself, so I'll try an help.

When I open my Dreamweaver, I have the option of look at folders/files on my hard drive, or defined "Sites". The difference between the two being Sites use real names in the navigator pane, instead of drive letters.

Mine tends to open at the top of my site heirarchy, every time. I don't know of a setting to change that, but I do know that in the "Manage Sites" there's several (advanced) settings for a site that can affect how the Files window behaves. Namely, I learned to turn OFF the auto-refresh, because it caused DW to go into conniptions whenever I saved a file. Yick.

Hope this starts to help...let me know more detail if you can.

Completes your tags. Looks and works a lot like Dreamweaver, yet free and a lot easier to use.

Just saying. =)

Wow.

You mentioned ASP... could you use that for includes?
