Post subject: Is there NO solution to the dependent files issue?

When working live with an FTP server Dreamweaver puts dependent files,
regardless of what your setting are, or if you click 'No' to the dialogue box.
This is a problem that has constantly plagued my coworkers and I. When working
with others on a site this is simply DISATSROUS as files are continually
overwritten.
I have gone to edit/prefs/site and checked the boxes for get and put. I have
always clicked 'No' when asked to put dependent files. But Dreamweaver ALWAYS
puts dependent files.
This is ridiculous. Multiple people are having this problem, multiple people
have asked for a solution and I have yet to see an ounce of help outside of
'change your preferences'. It is obvious this does not work. I have checked,
re-checked and checked again. I have found numerous complaints about this
problem, on this forum and many others.
Is there no solution? Is there no way to turn off this feature? I have tried
checking ?Do not ask again? and selecting ?No? as suggested in a response to
another similar post. This did not work. Nothing works.
Help me out here guys. I can?t believe this hasn?t been solved after the
number of complaints for this specific feature (if you can even call it a
?feature? at this point).
At this point I?m on the verge of scrapping the use of FTP in Dreamweaver
completely and switching to something more reliable. I?m not the only one, just
type ?dependent files? into the search box and see for yourself... |

That would take so much effort. I've had the same issue with my laptop and
desktop. There doesn't seem to be a resolution. It would be cool if someone
from Adobe recognized it.
All that walking, all I want is to edit the most up-to-date fiels.... but i
can't go back to drag and drop - so please someone fix this, before.... |

Give me a clear example of how this isn't working for you, please? Show me
what files are being put that shouldn't be...

We have had multiple issues with included files being uploaded. The website we
are working with is made up of .php documents. The headers and footers for each
page are included files along with some others: globals, navigation etc. When
we are working on a page and upload it, Dreamweaver automatically uploads these
included files as well. This is the main problem, though at times other files
are miraculously added as well.
Thank you for any help you can provide. |

omg! I so feel your frustration with this!
I am about to tear my hair out over this.. I am about to ditch dreamweaver
completely just because this feature that can't be disable almost made me lose
hours of work YET AGAIN!!
When I'm modifying a file I just need to modify THAT one.. if I am needing to
modify OTHER files I am fully able of saving those files seperately!! sheesh
WHAT WERE YOU THINKING ADOBE???
just now I 'saved' a file I made modifications too and it asked me about
wether I wanted to upload "files" even though the server had a new version of
it. I read it too quickly and clicked ok and all of a sudden my website has
code from a week ago !! lol...
it took me a moment to figure out what had just happened. Dreamweaver uploaded
some OLLD files that it had stored in it's "archive" directory I guess. Yea
sure it was my bad for not reading and understanding what it actually wanted to
do. And thank god I had backups but still.
PLEASE PLEASE make a quickfix for allowing us to disable the 'auto-upload of
dependent files' !! It is SOO impractical |

Open Preferences and switch to the Site category. Deselect the "Dependent
files: Prompt on put/check in" checkbox.

This ONLY works when you are working locally and putting files manually. What
if I want to make a quick change to a live file and hit CTRL-S. It completely
ignores whatever settings you have.
I work in a production/developement environment where I work directly on a
development server. Sometimes I work on the network, sometimes I remote in. It
doesn't matter how I'm connected it still saves the dependent files.
If you want to make everyone happy, create an option that is a checkbox that
says "Disable Dependent File Uploads" and make it so when I save index.cfm it
doesn't try to upload (header.cfm, footer.cfm, pic1.jpg, pic2.jpg, etc etc).
Just save the file I edited.
I don't mind that Dreamweaver is initially setup this way. But you definitely
need to make a way to completely disable this feature for seasoned developers.
99% of the reasons my developers won't use Dreamweaver is because it takes
dreamweaver 25 seconds to go through it's saving/upload process where EditPlus
(a free program) takes 2-3seconds. |

I am having this same problem, I just lost a weeks worth of work because of
this issue... I had the preferences set to prompt me, I clicked no and it
overwrote newer dependent files with old ones anyway... Is there a fix to this
or not? I too have been looking all over the net and have seen alot of people
having this issue but no solves accept to work locally with a seperate ftp
program, which is a real pain in the arse compared to ctrl-s and its done.... |

I, too, am having this problem. [b]This a serious bug, Adobe, and needs to be
fixed in a patch ASAP.[/b]
@Joseph Lowery
[Q]Open Preferences and switch to the Site category. Deselect the
"Dependent[/Q]
Thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately, deselecting this checkbox has
absolutely no effect on the behavior. Nor does checking the "Do not ask again"
option on the "Put Dependent Files" prompt itself. Hence the bug.
FWWIW:
DW CS3
Mac 10.4.9
The most reliable way I've found to reproduce the bug is to hit Option+F12 to
preview a page on my test server. Every single f-ing time, I'm asked if I want
to put dependent files. Clicking no or checking "don't ask me again" has no
effect on DW's subsequent behavior which puts the dependent files anyway.
It is simply amazing to me that DW made it through beta testing with this flaw! |

no doubt that is sound advice! there are few things that irk me and make me
lose my patience more than dreamweaver's dependent files confirmation dialog..
and seeing it about 20 times per hour when i'm coding and debugging after
having had it yet again prove its stupidity by restore a previous copy of my
NEW code from one of its caches who's options are out of my control.. just like
the other MISSING options.. actually really does make me feel like I could use
therapy  |

In the hope that the following might help someone on the dev team replicate the
problem, here are some reliable steps to get this to happen:
1) Upgrade to CS3 Web Premium from Studio 8.
2) Set up a local site, using a local, network accessible PHP/MySQL testing
server.
3) In Preferences > Preview in Browser, ensure that "Preview using temporary
file" is unchecked.
4) In Preferences > Site, ensure that "Prompt on get/check out" and "Prompt on
put/check in" are UNCHECKED, indicating that I *do not want* the prompt
5) Create a new page.
6) Hit Option+F12 to preview the page in a browser.
Every single time I hit Option+F12 (or CMD+F12), I am asked if I want to "Put
Dependent Files?" even if there are no dependent files on the page. Checking
"do not ask me again" has absolutely no effect on this bug. This is 100%
repeatable and happens across any of my sites, not just one in particular.
Note: I have opened a web case and have reported the bug via the bug reporting
form. Given I've never received a single response to past support requests or
bug reports since upgrading to CS3, I'm not holding my breath for a quick
solution from Adobe. |

Personally, I've never had this problem. If I select No in the dialog box, only
the file I selected uploads. Oh, and I do like the option of uploading
dependent files.
I've got 2 words for Vesper.... Valium, Prozac. |

I have had this problem in Dreamweaver 7 for some time now. I have tried
checking and unchecking EDIT->PREFERENCES->SITE->"Prompt before moving files on
server" and I do not ever get prompted whether or not I would like to put
dependent files. Every time I upload a file with any CSS or images, it spends
a lot of time putting dependent files. This is really really really bothersome
as I am a PHP developer and frequently have to debug my applications on the
server.
How does one fix it? |
