CS4 replace image issue - Windows 7

Jan 11, 2010 9:40 PM

New laptop - Dreamweaver CS4 - Windows 7...

 

If i insert an image to a document it puts the image in fine.  But if I want to change that image I select that image and hit the "browse for image" (little folder icon) and select a different image in the" Select an image source" dialog box and click ok - nothing happens.  The dalog box disappears and the old image remains. Almost as if i clicked cancel instead of ok.

 

Since this is a new laptop I'm not sure if it's a hardware or software issue.  Never experienced this on my work coomputer on Win  XP and CS4.

 

Any ideas?

John

    Seems to be a known bug in DW on Windows 7

    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/478327

     

    Affects more than just the root folder mentioned in that thread.

    Ok, thank you  - I saw that thread butt didn't realize it was the same issue as I'm experiencing.  This seems like a pretty basic function and it makes me wonder how Adobe could call CS4 Windows 7 compatible when basic functions like this don't work.

    I think they are two separate issues. The bug is when you are setting up a site in Site Manager. Orbit-Monkey sounds like his issue is swapping out pictures in design view which there is no bug in Windows 7. All I can say Orbit is to check your site setup and ensure that all your paths to folders are setup proper. If that fails then you could always do it in code view. Code view is strickly how I work so I have never encountered the issue you are having.

    I'm not the only one... found this thread after I started my own (murphy's law) - same issue I'm having... http://forums.adobe.com/message/2511455#2511455

     

    So I guess it's not the same issue??

     

    sitewidecf: i know you only work in code view - but could you humor me and try to replace an image in the design view as I described and see if you can replicate the issue.

     

    thanks

    John

    Doh! - Ok try this link... http://forums.adobe.com/message/2180934#2180934

     

    And I just recheck my site setup - but maybe I'm missing something... what specifically should I be looking for?  Never had to set but the basic settings before and never had issues.

     

    thanks

    John

    The only other thing to try is to run DW as an Administrator. Simply right click your DW program icon...the one you use to launch DW. Then click Run as Administrator. For some reason it has solved issues in the past for others with other issues that involve rights and control.

    Running DW as an Administrator didn't do anything differently.  Same issue.  This is a VERY BAD thing.

    What's intresting is it doesn't happen if I'm using .png files instead of .gif or .jpg files.  I can replace the images if it's a png - like it shoukld work for all images.

     

    This question is definatly not "answered" - wish I could change that.
