Adobe: Can’t launch Dreamweaver CS5 | Mac OS Fix!

   Posted: December 17th, 2010    By: Devin Walker   

In my previous article on the site: Nothing happens when launching Dreamweaver CS5 on Mac I discussed my workaround to fix this problem. Basically, it was removing the Configuration folder from the hd/users/library/application support/adobe/dreamweaver cs5/en-US/ directory. This would allow you to start Dreamweaver again because it would create a new “configuration” folder. But the problem was, Dreamweaver would eventually act up again and by the time a couple weeks rolls around you’ll have dont this process 4-5 time. Thanksfully, Adobe has heard the communities’ cries and they have released an update for Mac Dreamweaver users.

Use JavaScript to Print an Image

   Posted: July 1st, 2010    By: Devin Walker   

Using JavaScript you can have images print when clicked on. What this script will do for you is open whatever image is specified in the JavaScript in a new browser window along with the Print options window.

This method is useful if you are looking for a way to have either a print button for a specific image on a page. Please refer to the demo to see exactly how this can be accomplished. Remember to specify the image’s width and height in the JavaScript onClick event.

Nothing happens when launching Dreamweaver CS5 on Mac

   Posted: June 3rd, 2010    By: Devin Walker   

So I recently started using a Mac at work and with the Adobe Creative Suite 5 just released I was pretty excited. The new additions to CS5 are great and I can see that working with WordPress will be a lot more streamlined. Anyways, I ran into a frustrating issue that a lot of other Mac/Dreamweaver CS5 users are encountering where launching the program results in a disabled dreamweaver.

Google Unveils the Google Font Directory and API

   Posted: May 19th, 2010    By: Devin Walker   

Google is looking to help all of us web and graphic designers out there who have been trying to break free of the CSS font-family limitations. How are they doing this? Today Google released the Google Font Directory and Google Font API in attempts to bring a selectable and dynamic font solution to the web. I’m expecting the directory in the future this solution will grow to become the web’s leading robust and scalable font library and API.

The good things about this web font solution is that it is very easy to implement and the text is completely selectable (for copy-and-paste purposes). The downsides (both will eventually become irrelevant) are that not every browser will support it… mostly the old school ones that no one should care about anymore, and that it in it’s current state the Google Font Directory is limited to a about 20+ fonts (of which you’d probably use about 10). As the web continues to evolve both of these ‘downsides’ will no longer be relevant.
