I've never used the Notes function, and in 8, Dreamweaver consistently keeps
creating extra _notes files everywhere. I'm sure this is handy for some, but
it makes me batty. Is there a way to tell it quit creating these!?

Thanks,
s.

Look at Sites/Manage sites, Pick the site you want to look at site
Definition for each site under Advanced/Design Notes uncheck Maintain Design
Notes.

Hi Baxter,

Thanks, but that's the first thing I did, and it didn't make a difference. It
did work on the old MX, but 8 keeps generating the files regardless of the
"maintain design notes" setting.

I too am having this notes problem.

I have turned off the option in site manager and installed the latest updates.

But these notes folders keep appearing and as I don't use flash they are very
annoying, any advice on how to stop them appearing would be appreciated, thanks

Best thing? Ignore it. It wil not affect your site, they won't get
uploaded and won't get in the way of your coding.

Put them out of your mind.

gee, that's helpful, lled.

if it was one or two files, it wouldn't be a big deal. but every single
folder dreamweaver accesses in every single site I work on, gets a new _notes
files generated. it clutters up fast.

i can't believe this only bothers two users.

It's annonying and completely useless... but I've learned to ignore this
failing of Dreamweaver... as there are so many others that tend to drive me
more crazy...

It's definitely not completely useless. That's where DW keeps scratch notes
about the files in that directory. It hasn't bothered me in 8.2 years.

Again, get over it. The total file size would barely break 4-5k.

If you ignore them they won't do you any harm.

If you can tell me any part of your web creation process that is hampered by
their existence I am all ears.

Apart from "but they are just sitting there... taunting me!"

This is the first time I have posted here and judging by the tone and unhelpful
responses it will be the last.

If you uncheck the option but it still keeps happerning then surely it's bug
and someone should know about it.

I know who should get over it.

Have a good look at yourselves.

Don't bother replying because I won't be back to see it so save your "wisdom"
for someone else.

Can somebody inform me how to delete the previous message? It is taking up
valuable space on my hard drive and I can't read any other groups knowing it
is here.

lled, what exactly is up your butt? i've looked at your other messages, and
you seem like a decent enough guy. why exactly do you feel compelled to come
to this thread, for a topic you're clearly not interested in, just to tell us
that we should be more like you?

sheesh.

One may ask you the same question.

What is *your* business here?

The OP asked a question borne out of some irrational need to remove
something that does not impede her web design process one iota.

The OP had it suggested to her, quite nicely I believe, to simply ignore the
notes folders - they take up next to no space, do not get uploaded to the
server and do not stop you creating the most beautiful websites in the
world.

It was the OPs indignant response and holier than though attitude you are
picking up on, not my sarcasm in response.

Extremely funny and entertaining. Thank you for brightening my day.

Don't look beyond you - I think those notes folders have lept off the screen
and are laughing at you also.
