Troubleshooting


I'm getting so much stuff in my Assets panel that I can no longer remember what's what. Is there an easy way to keep things straight?

One of the more useful features of the Favorites list is the capability it gives you to nickname your assets. Rather than have an asset appear in the list as "http://www.scooterpuzzles.com," you can nickname the asset as "Lu's Custom Paint for Motorcycles," which should jog your memory more easily.

To change an asset's nickname, be certain you're in the Favorites view, select the asset, and then select Edit Nickname from the context menu. You can also edit the Nickname by single-clicking the current nickname twice. After entering the nickname, press (Return) [Enter] or click elsewhere in the Assets panel. The actual filename, color, or URL still appears in the Value column of the Favorites list, and the preview display remains unchanged.

I deleted a Library item and then realized I need it again. What can I do?

If you accidentally delete a Library item, your only recourse is to re-create it from one of its instances in a document. To do this, select an instance of the Library item and click the Recreate button in the Property inspector.

If there aren't any instances of the Library item in your sitewhich could occur if you made the original instance editable and either didn't create any other instances or made all those instances editable as wellyou must create a new Library item from scratch.

If I want to edit a photo in my favorite photo editor instead of the default editor, can I do that?

Certainly. The easiest way is to right-click on the image and then choose Edit With, Browse from the context menu. You can then browse to the executable for your editing software. When you use another photo editor, Dreamweaver remembers it and stores it in the Edit With submenu so you can easily reference it at a later time.
