Dreamweaver’s flexible workspaces, clean HTML code and deep feature set have earned it a reputation as the tool of choice for Web designers and developers. Meanwhile I'll just have to wait patiently for Apple & Adobe to get their act together.Adobe Dreamweaver® CS4 is the industry-leading HTML editor for designing, coding, and developing websites, web pages, and web applications.

Check the OS spec from each software manufacturer first. My advice if you're thinking of upgrading to Snow Panther: delay it until it more of it works compatibly with your major applications.
#Dream weaver cs4 upgrade
Re: Dreamweaver, I'd check back to regularly to see when they upgrade the OS requirements to 10.6.1 (I hadn't spotted before I bought Snow Leopard that they only go up to 10.5 in their OS recommendations). It would be nice to think that Apple and Adobe would talk to each other and work it out between them. So currently it seems that DW CS4's Design view is no longer WYSIWYG! Expect to find lots of text hidden in Design view and have to use Code view much more.

Thing is that 'Preview in Browser' shows the page correctly (except in Opera, which I've only installed since installing Snow Leopard, so I can't say how this displayed in the previous OS versions).Īlso when I upload the site to the server it all seems to display more or less as it should. I've discovered that my heading tags (h1, h2, etc) all make the text disappear in Design view in a way that would be the envy of members of the Magic Circle! The only thing that seems to get through is text that is surrounded by paragraph tags. The code appears correctly in the Code window and even if you highlight text that has coding attached in Code view - eg text with a url link attached - the Design view continues to ignore it and removes the text from its view. When using Design View in DW CS4, any formatted text - from html tags to css tags - disappears from the Design view. Since installing OS X 10.6.1 I now have problems with DW, which I've alerted Adobe to. I've been using Dreamweaver (DW) CS4 successfully on OS X 10.5 for some time. Any new OS, like new houses, will have a 'snagging list' - unforeseen problems that arise and need to be sorted before your purchase is truly habitable and functions as expected.īut the stability of OS X 10.5 paved the way for my lapse of judgement when I upgraded to Snow Panther last week, while its compatibility with some major software is still clearly too buggy. I've been a Mac user since 1987 and have never upgraded the OS too soon after a new version was launched. I'd be very grateful if anyone can give a clear, authoritative answer please - if possible. I gave up with them! They didn't give an email address to ask on. I have also attempted to get an answer from Adobe - I 'phoned their "Pre-sales enquiries" number 08 (in the UK) and spoke to someone who sounded as if she was on the moon and who clearly had absolutely no idea what I was talking about.
#Dream weaver cs4 pro
Personally, touch wood, I've had no problems with Snow Leopard, but I only really use it for Internet surfing and word processing (my work, music stuff on Logic Pro 8, is done on my Mac Pro which came with Leopard and which I am NOT upgrading - not yet!). I have tried to find info about this here, but have spend ages wading through masses of complaints about various applications crashing for people after they upgraded to 10.6.1 Snow Leopard. Can anyone tell me please, if Adobe Dreamweaver CS4 work properly with my MacBook OS 10.6.1 Snow Leopard? Adobe state "Mac OS X v10.4.11–10.5.4" in the system requirements, but does this mean, in practise, that Dreamweaver will not work properly with Snow Leopard?
