10 EXTENDING DREAMWEAVER CS4
Customizing Dreamweaver
• Deselect the Never Rewrite Code: In Files With Extensions option. (Deselecting this option lets Dreamweaver
rewrite HTML in all types of files.)
Add file types that Dreamweaver should not rewrite
1 Select Edit > Preferences, and select the Code Rewriting category.
2 Select either of the following options:
• Fix Invalidly Nested And Unclosed Tags
• Remove Extra Closing Tags
3 Make sure the Never Rewrite Code: In Files With Extensions option is selected, and add the new file extensions to
the list in the text field.
If the new file type doesn’t appear in the file-types pop-up menu in the File > Open dialog box, you might want to add
it to the Configuration/Extensions.txt file. For details, see “
Changing the default file type ” on page 5.
Turn off Dreamweaver encoding options
1 Select Edit > Preferences, and select the Code Rewriting category.
2 Deselect either or both Special Characters options.
For information on the other Code Rewriting preferences, see Using Dreamweaver.
Customizing Dreamweaver in a multiuser environment
You can customize Dreamweaver in a multiuser operating system such as Microsoft® Windows® XP, Windows Vista,
or Mac OS® X. Dreamweaver prevents the customized configuration of any user from affecting the configurations of
other users. The first time you run Dreamweaver in a multiuser operating system, Dreamweaver copies configuration
files into a user Configuration folder. When you customize Dreamweaver by using dialog boxes and panels, the
application modifies your user Configuration files instead of modifying the Dreamweaver Configuration files. To
customize Dreamweaver in a multiuser environment, edit the appropriate user Configuration file, rather than the
Dreamweaver Configuration files. To make changes that affect most users, edit a Dreamweaver Configuration file.
However, users who already have corresponding user Configuration files do not see the change. To make changes that
affect all users, create an extension and install it using the Extension Manager.
Note: In older multiuser operating systems (Windows 98, Windows ME, and Mac OS 9.x), all users share a single set of
Dreamweaver Configuration files.
The location of the Configuration folder of the user depends on the platform of the user.
Windows XP platforms use the following location:
hard disk:\Documents and Settings\ username \Application Data\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS4\Configuration
Note: It is possible that this folder is inside a hidden folder.
Windows Vista platforms use the following location:
hard disk:\Users\ username \AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS4\Configuration
Mac OS X platforms use the following location:
hard disk:\Users/ username /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Dreamweaver CS4/Configuration
