Default Using Dreamweaver 8 and switching from a PC to a Mac - 09-10-2007 , 11:06 PM






I am currently using Dreamweaver 8 on my PC to, of course, maintain my website.
In October, I will be switching to a Mac Pro Computer; and will be using Mac OS
X 10.5 (Leopard). Seeing that Dreamweaver 8 also works on a Mac, will I be able
to save my Dreamweaver 8 files from my PC and then when Dreamweaver 8 is loaded
on to my new Mac will the files easily transfer over to the Mac OS? Thanks.

Jeff

I recently did the same thing (PC to Macbook Pro) and everything transferred
fine for the most part. There was a bit of a glitch with site defs, but part of
that was my fault with renaming a folder.

I will say though, that DW8 on a Mac is not as smooth as on a PC. That is, you
won't get the unified window as you do with Photoshop CS3 on a Mac (each panel
and file windows are separate from each other. I also experience a lot of
intermittent text screen drawing problems (hard to explain, but text selected
in design view is not the text that is actually selected, causing me to have to
select text in code view to edit it).
