Extension Manager

A missing post on WA forum:

I encountered this a few weeks ago with a non-WA extension (P7). I received this information.

The latest Adobe Creative Cloud update has introduced a file corruption issue in the Dreamweaver menus.xml and insertbar.xml files. This will cause extensions to not show in the Dreamweaver Insert menu and the Insert Panel. Hopefully Adobe will fix this soon.

You have a corruption in the underlying Dreamweaver files that now needs to be fixed.

1. Do NOT use the Anastasiy’s Extension Manager!

2. ONLY use the DMXzone Extension Manager.

3. Follow the instructions on the page link I sent. The Dreamweaver configuration folder is corrupt and needs to be replaced with a default configuration. The instructions here are very important, follow each step:

First, be sure that you have re-started Dreamweaver after you renamed the configuration folder. Then shut Dreamweaver down.

In the DMXzone Extension Manager, if your extensions are listed as installed then you must first un-install each. Just click the X to the right of each extension. This will clear the extension database. Now you can install each one, one at a time.

Be sure that Dreamweaver is shut down during this operation.

~~HTH~~~

The missing link says to first shut down DW. Rename the config folder. Restart DW. Shut down DW. UNINSTALL all ext., then reinstall all extensions. Then restart DW.

It doesn’t matter what you rename it. I usually add a date to the name so I know what the last one was in case I need to move a file from old to the new one. When you start up DW after the rename a new configuration file is created ignoring the older config file.
