Dreamweaver CS3 "Background File Activity" pop-up

Here is how to disable background file activity window

Old thread but since it was brought up.

1. Yeah!! for using Ultra Edit, I have been for 10 years now. Only reason I don't is I prefer Zend Studio since I have it. (I'll admit Notepad++ is great for free though!)

2. The article that was just linked:

a. be careful and check if you are etting an applicatin called netdrive, or the file netdrive.exe, as there was issues with this that it (netdrive.ese) is actually NOT free to use, it is part of Novel's Netware software that they still protect and you need to have a legal license to netware to use it. (I last checked into it a year or two ago). There is also WebDrive. Additionally, even though the "file tranfer" dialog is gone (cause now it thinks it saves to the local file), the netdrive/webdrive program will still have to take the same time to detect the file save, and do the same FTP upload that dreamweaver did. the only difference, you don't know. (and if you hit refresh to check a page you are working on before it is done, you won't get the right results)

b. the tip to set the default timeout is for when you get a prompt (ie, replacing a file, override checkouts, etc), not hide the regular activity.

3. One of the things Megan may have changed to speed it up is the "Maintain Sync Info" which can put more ftp load out there.

i think it can work fine with a high powered machine, while the trial version is easier to setup, once you are able to use it, you will know how much useful it can be for you.
