prevent all the annoying notes folders?

Ok, guise chill out will ya,

ILed, the reason some people find it annoying is because no one like to deal
with to many folders. You must admit it can get a bit annoying if you have a
lot of folders anyway as the notes issue effectively doubles them. So i can see
why some people would like to turn it off and I would enrage anyone who nose
how to fix the DW8 bug or a workaround to say how.

Having said that, I agree with Murray and New Guy, they are there for a reason
and are sufficiently miner an inconvenience to be ignored. However, there is no
harm in knowing how to turn them off.

Share the love people

Why exactly is it annoying? Be specific.

It doesn't affect the functionality of DW in any way - they don't get
uploaded, they don't bother you in creation of web pages and so forth.

No, it doesn't. It doesn't affect the browsing within Dreamweaver. It only
affects these people somehow offended by these folders. They affect
NOTHING.

The same sort of people who are worried by these folders are the same sort
that enter your house and straighten the pictures on the walls and make sure
all your books have their spines level with each other.

lol, each to their own...

Here is a reference to the _Notes being created. This works for me along with
Disabling the _notes.

The creation of _notes folders also annoyed me. But the TechNote refered above
explains an important point: these folders maintain sync info. So its not a bug
but a somewhat strange option developers took to storage file information.

At least one answer to this topic proved to be useful. Thanks, AlliedJim.

I don't like all of the _notes folders keep appearing, either. If the user is
given the choice of whether or not to have them created, then I don't see
what's wrong with expecting the software to perform a certain way. This isn't
freeware, after all. Also, maybe the irritation doesn't begin with Dreamweaver
but stems from software companies making too many decisions about how we should
set software options, which settings are safe for our web browsers etc., etc.,
etc. I'm not really upset about the _notes issue but I really wonder why anyone
else would get so irate about whether those files bother me or not? I hope
this isn't a case of "Forum Rage"!

With subversion, it's a nightmare... I hope the adobe coders get savvy and nuke these things.

I agree that the creating of _notes folders everywhere is very annoying. I love
how people such as "lled" assume everyone uses Dreamweaver the way he does.
Dreamweaver isn't an all-in-one tool, I normally use a couple of tools during
development and maintenance of a website. The _notes folders every where can
make your nicely laid out directories look like a battleground, and when trying
to upload, zip or do anything with your site directory outside of dreamweaver,
these annoying _notes folders are sent along or packaged with your website.

The best way to action these _notes folders is to search your website
directories for the term "_notes". This will show all the _notes folders under
a specific directory. You can then either delete them (which only lasts until
dreamweaver recreates them), or you can select them all as mark them as hidden
so at least you don't see them.
