Force design view

Hi people,

I need to edit some template files for my cms (interchange). The internals
of the appserver require the files to be without extension to avoid
confusion with html code. Problem is that Dreamweaver refuses to show
anything in design view because it cannot determine the filetype. I could
ofcourse create symbolic links to the extensionless files, but that would
be my last resort
How can I force DW to show me the files in design view?

add those file extensions to whichever Server Model you want them to be used
as inside of dreamweaver. Note- be sure to work in the Configuration folder
for YOU as a USER.

I already tried that, but the problem is that the files have *no*
extension. The solution you provided deals with files of undefined
extensions. If I open an extensionless file, I get a popup telling me 'This
file has no extension and will be opened in Code View. If you wish to edit
this in Design View, rename the file to an appropriate extension (eg.
..htm)'. How do I tell Dreamweaver that a file without *any* extension
should be interpreted as .html without renaming it. I already tried adding
a new filetype with . as extension, but that doesnt seem to work

You cannot. You can not even tell a Windows *operating system* that files
without extensions are of any particular type. Files without extensions are
untyped and cannot be classified like that.

Yes, that is obvious. But it could ofcourse be that there is a function
that would make DW treat unknown files as html
