Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 crashes when selecting text in code view
Another one of those funnies... Only recently Adobe dream weaver CS3 started crashing when I was selecting text in code view. For example, the code below, if I tried to select the whole CFIF block, then immediately a Vista error message appeared saying dreamweaver had crashed.
<cfif isdefined("attributes.endDate")>
<cftry>
<cfset attributes.startDate = dateformat(attributes.startDate, "dd mmm yy")>
<cfcatch type="Any">
<cfset tx = structDelete(attributes, "startDate")>
</cfcatch>
</cftry>
<cftry>
<cfset attributes.endDate = dateformat(attributes.endDate, "dd mmm yy")>
<cfcatch type="Any">
<cfset tx = structDelete(attributes, "endDate")>
</cfcatch>
</cftry>
</cfif>
Not ideal since the vast majority of developing code involves copying and pasting blocks of text.
After some investigation, I found the following thread which helped immensely:-
The crux of it was deleting the winfilecachexxxxx.dat file - Once doing this, it was plain sailing and hasn't crashed since.
On Windows Xp, the file is at:-
[drive]:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Adobe\Dreamweaver
9\Configuration
On Windows Vista, you can find it in:-
[drive]:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver 9\Configuration
or accessible via windows explorer in
Desktop\[username]\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver 9\Configuration
