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.

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.

On a Mac, it is in applications>adobe dreamweaver > configuration
See attachment

this didn't work in later issues; see next post for more recent location found
Navigate to: ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/ and ensure the configuration Dreamweaver folder is renamed.

Today, I lost all my extensions. I renamed config file but DW won't launch. Any ideas? Resolved.

found this...

macOS:
Navigate to: ~/Library/Preferences/
Delete com.adobe.dreamweaver-[version].plist.
Navigate to: ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/ and ensure the Dreamweaver folder is renamed.

So this launched. Using Application Support for finding the configuration file.

Second issue: DMXZone Ext Manager would not launch. Reinstalled. Still no joy. Restarted computer several times and eventually it launched. It showed installed but no interface. Gremlins.

Some good news! I followed the directions for Tahoe in the above link, ie, full disk access for DMX and DW, rebooted twice and DMX Ext Manager reappeared. I hope this helps someone else.

December 2025 release (version 21.7)
[macOS 26 Tahoe only] Dreamweaver may fail to access some files or folders unless Full Disk Access is enabled in System Preferences under Security & Privacy.

Workaround:
Open System Settings (or System Preferences) from the Apple menu or from the Dock.
Go to Privacy & Security in the sidebar.
Select the Privacy tab if it isn’t already selected.
Scroll down, then select Full Disk Access to continue.
Select add application i ic icon to add an application.
Go to the Applications folder, then select and open the Dreamweaver folder. (I added DMX Ext Manager)
Turn on the switch (toggle) next to the application.
Restart Dreamweaver. (restarted DMX but also rebooted)
