Delete FileCache.dat files from the Dreamweaver user configuration folder.

Delete the WinFileCache-7A9586CB.dat, MacFileCache-BFE7CE2E.dat, or FileCache.dat file from the Dreamweaver user configuration folder. It is recommended to delete the FileCache.dat file if you are experiencing a JavaScript error related to “dwscripts” or if you are receiving a “translators were not loaded” error message. The string of characters after “FileCache-” may differ on your machine. The location of the FileCache.dat file depends your operating system and your version of Dreamweaver. Note that on Windows, the Application Data and AppData folders are hidden by default, so verify that your Windows Explorer folder options are set to View Hidden Folders.

Boy oh boy this is a hidden gem for you Dreamweaver lovers. Do you use snippets? Snippets are simply blocks of code that you use to make your life easier as a developer. Whether it be JavaScript snippets, HTML snippets etc. There may be a snippet that you use all of the time. I know I do for popups etc. Anyways this is how you can take all of your snippets for Dreamweaver at home and put them on your work computer or simply share them with other Dreamweaver Developers.

For Windows XP and Dreamweaver8 Users only ( I’m sure its something similar for other OS’s and versions of Dreamweaver)

1. You’ll need a Flash Drive or FTP site.
2. On windows you must have hidden files and folders enabled. If you don’t, ope n up your MyDocuments folder and click on –>Tools–>Folder Options–View and under Hidden Files and Folders be sure to check the Show Hidden Files and Folders Option. Now you’ll be able to see hidden system files.

3. Now that you’ve enabled hidden files go to MyComputer

C:\DocumentsandSettings\[UserName]\ApplicationData\Macromedia\Dreamweaver 8\Configuration

Then find the “Snippets” folder

4. Copy and past this folder either on your Flash drive or FTP site.

5. When you get to work or whereever you have Dreamweaver8 running, simply make sure you have hidden files and folders enabled and overwrite your snippets folder with the new one.

6.Open up Dreamweaver and Abracadabra you now have your new snippets loaded from you old machine.
