Dreamweaver MX: don't upgrade to OS X 10.1.5

updated 04:40 pm EDT, Thu June 6, 2002

", 0, 0);

MacNN reader Varen Swaab has alerted us to a problem with Mac OS X 10.1.5 and Dreamweaver MX. "I have discovered (through my own experience and a discussion with MM Tech Support) a problem which prevents Dreamweaver MX users from being able to use their site file, rendering the program virtually useless. The message: If you use Dreamweaver MX DO NOT upgrade to 10.1.5."

Yikes!

I've ALREADY upgraded to OSX v10.1.5, and am awaiting my Macromedia MX Studio product! I sure hope they (Macromedia) releases a fix SOON.

How frustrating...

No problems here

There may be some other problem with the user's setup. I've upgraded to 10.1.5, and am running the final version of Dreamweaver MX. No problems here with accessing my sites and their content.

Ditto.. No problems

Dreamweaver MX works fine for me under 10.1.5 as well. It would seem to be a problem only with the one user's system, or only with certain configurations.

could be simple

When we upgraded to Adobe GO live 5 the program would crash everytime I launched it. After pissing with it for a while I figured out it was a conflict with the Menu Font feature of Suitcase, turned that off and it worked fine. Answer UPgrades don't aways work with all your old c***.

Over reaction?

No problems here. Why would one user's problems prompt MacNN to post such an sweeping headline?

I updated to 10.1.5 and published updates for two sites today with no problems. I'm still using the trial version, but I'm waiting for the final version to arrive any day now.

10.1.5 is amazing

and this after I had nonspecific problems with 10.1.3 which were mostly eradicated with 10.1.4. 10.1.5 just seems snappier and feels really, really stable. I say "feels" because I haven't used it long enough to experience a crash. I haven't experienced a kernal panic since OSX beta and aside from once every couple of week "application unexpectedly quit" (always a commercial application from a major label like Adobe or Microsoft) there's absolutely no goofiness with OS X.

I can barely remember my experiences troubleshooting extensions and setting memory for individual applications within MacOS 9.

Kinda

Ever since I upgraded to 10.1.5 my "trial" version crashes more. It only seems to be when I'm moving directories around in the Site File and the HTML pages have to update themselves, but it does happen.

Kill that headline

I think the Headline is quite inflammatory. Since when does a single users instance of problems merit such a headlin eon a high-traffic Industry News and Trade site?

Site file?

I don't use a site file, so how does that make dreamweaver useless? HAHA, the reader is a moron.

MacNN == MacInWhine

That kind of "cry'wolfing" belongs on MacInWhine, sorry MacInTouch. Anyway, like all developers, MacroMedia has been getting "betas" of 10.1.5 for over a month. Impossible to believe that have not done thorough testing with 10.1.5

Explanation?

There might at least have been an explanation as to why it was necessary to post such an overtly dramatic headline.

Otherwise it just looks like tabloid journalism at its best.

all features running just fine here.

MacNN makes asses out of themselves yet again, by putting too much (why put *any*?) significance on a "reader report". Way to to boyz....

Prolonging Trial Period

My copy of the Dreamweaver MX preview release expires today, and the CD I purchased isn't due until the 15th. Macromedia offered me a way to extend the trial period, by entering a challenge code at DW's startup splash screen. However, the keystroke for getting to the challenge code prompt invariably crashes License Manager and freezes DW. This was true in 10.1.4 and 10.1.5; launching DW under OS 9 also resulted in a crash.

Works fine with 10.1.5

I installed it in 10.1.5. No problems here...yet. MacNN should made this a headline if more than a few users reported the problem. A lot more.

Works for me too

...although I've been having some trouble with FTP from MX while connected through AirPort, but that may not be a 10.1.5 issue...

Upgrade! It works fine!

I don't believe it!

I disagree. Works fine with me and others here in our company. This could be system specific. Check your system configuration.
