17 EXTENDING DREAMWEAVER CS4
Customizing Dreamweaver
Note: When the user saves a new document, Dreamweaver examines the list of extensions for the current platform that
are associated with the document type. For example,
winfileextension and macfileextension . Dreamweaver
selects the first string in the list and uses it as the default filename extension. To change this default filename extension,
reorder the extensions in the comma-separated list so the new default is listed first.
When Dreamweaver starts, it reads all document type definition files and builds a list of valid document types.
Dreamweaver treats any entries within the definition files that have nonexistent server models as nonserver model
document types. Dreamweaver ignores entries that have bad contents or IDs that are not unique.
If document type definition files are corrupt or are not available in the Configuration/DocumentTypes folder,
Dreamweaver closes with an error message.
macfileextension Yes The filename extension that is associated
with the document type on the Macintosh.
You specify multiple filename extensions by
using a comma-separated list. The first
extension in the list is the extension that
Dreamweaver uses when the user saves a
documenttype document.
If two nonserver model-associated
document types have the same filename
extension, Dreamweaver recognizes the
first one as the document type for the
extension.
previewfile No The file that is rendered in the Preview area
of the New Document dialog box.
file Yes The file that is located in the
DocumentTypes/NewDocuments folder
that contains template content for new
documenttype documents.
priorversionservermodel No If the server model of this document has a
Dreamweaver UltraDev 4 equivalent,
specify the name of the older version of the
server model.
UltraDev 4 ColdFusion is a valid prior server
model.
