Also, point of note for the Windows version ... my earlier issue of the 25% idling CPU is "somewhat" fixed.  When I say "somewhat" is that Dreamweaver operates at a much-more expected CPU rate of 0-3%, even when working with larger files with 4-6 related files.  However, the CPU jumps back up to 25% as soon as a second file is opened and run in the editor simultaneously.

Just an FYI to Arun or anyone who may be watching this thread actively.

Not quite sure why it is taking so long for the update to get pushed out .  Most of my work is done in back-end stuff, and having an integrated Database manager(even if it is pretty light), and the improved Live View/Code will probably make me keep using it for a while.  I'm sure they're working on it .. as this could potentially cost Adobe a great deal of money.  I just wish they kept us more up to date on progress.

At least give us an idea as to whether or not they know what the problem is?

The update on Windows did not change anything either, Dreamweaver still uses almost 100% CPU on my dual core 2GHz PC right after starting it, even without any open documents. If I click on a menu, CPU usage goes down to almost zero.

I don't care about it anymore, I will not wait months for the next update only to find out that the most important bug is still unfixed again. Adobe, you lost a customer.

A GOOD News: I use DW CS5.5 but I had the same problem. Now I found the solution at least for myself - I hope it will help for you and for Adobe to solve the issue.

In my case the issue is related to the current selected site. If the site uses code hints (in my case wordpress code hinting) the cpu usage will go up (for my old laptop with single core to 100%). If I switch to a site with no code hinting the cpu usage comes back to about 0%.

Also by disabling code hints by using site>specific-code-hinting menu item or by renaming dw_php_codehinting.config in root of my site the cpu usage comes back to about 0%.

Experiencing extremely slow opening and closing of files. Even switching between files....

Mac:

27" iMac OSX 10.7.4

2.8 GHz Intel Core i7 8GB Ram

Dreamweaver:

v12.0 Build 5842

No extensions.

No Design view. (code view only)

'Related files' turned off.

Tried deleting prefs. no difference.

Slowness Experienced:

Time taken to open a 67KB HTML file.... 5.4 seconds of nothing, followed by 2 seconds of spinning beach ball, then the file opens.

Time taken to switch between 2 open HTML files less than 100KB... 3 seconds

Time taken to *close* (CLOSE!) a 67KB HTML file... 4 seconds of nothing, 3 seconds of spinning beach ball, then the file closes.

And while any of the above actions are taking place, Dreamweaver CPU usage is at 99-100% in the activity monitor.

Sporadic other instances of hanging while typing - ie: typing is slow/delayed by 2-5 seconds.

It's driving me crazy - please just simply make the app respond faster before adding any other features like grid layout helpers etc

In other editors like TextWrangler or Sublime Text 2 I do not get this slowness. Files open/close immediately. The only thing that is keeping me using Dreamweaver is autocompletion of my own css classnames & ids (from a linked css file) when editing a html file.

If one of the other editors adds that single feature - I will no longer be using Dreamweaver. Then I'll think twice about continuing my subscription to Creative Cloud if the other image editors improve aswell.

Godspeed,

Pete

I face the same problem:

DW of CS6 Master collection, upgrade from CS5.5, MAC OS (latest) MBP mid 2010, 8GB RAM, no external monitor.

Actually everything seemed to be ok until I installed some extensions from P7 and my pages started to grow in size, from less than 100kB to above 200kB. Suddenly DW started to crawl and came to a halt and working became impossible.

I tried all sort of things: deleted the MacFilecash, the SiteCash directory, the file dwsync.xm, all in vain.

I deleted my pages causing the slow down and created from scratch. It did work for a while and than the problem was back, I do not know at what file size, perhaps between 150 to 200kB.

After saving and reopening the page it takes minutes before I can get the cursor to where I want to type and after that every character in 10 second intervals. Even the apple menu is not accessible.

Anyhow, while typing this I found out something. I use a utility called PopChar which installs itself into the upper left corner of the screen, if I move the mouse there and click it pops up and I can select e.g. foreign characters which are pasted into the cursor position. When I close this utility, it seems I can work again on my pages (what a relieve). I am totally thrilled, it seems I found the problem at last. This utility PopChar I use already for many years and it never had caused me any problem. Who is now to blame?

Perhaps DW is not that bad after all.. ehm..wait…  there is a bug which follows me already many years and many versions, if you right click on a link with an anchor and select to open this page, here is an error message, it is hard for me to understand, why such a bug is never fixed. 

Wolf

No dynamic pages, a simple HTML file with a simple link to another HTML file with an anchor, in the same directory.

If the link has no anchor the file opens (right click - open linked page), if there is an anchor an error appears, cannot find the file.

Also to link to a page with an anchor is very awkward in DW, the page has to be opened first, the link has to be found and to be placed in a position that it can be reached from the other file with the link, and than the whip can be used to point from the file with the link to the file with the anchor (very troublesome). Other web editors scan the anchors in a file and give you a picklist to select an anchor. DW is in this matter very primitive.

This thread is related to the slow typing issue which has enough trouble getting on Adobe's radar, maybe you could create a new thread for the link issue?

Hey zetokore,

Where did you find the 12.1 update?  Adobe's Updater app for me says I'm all up to date, but i'm still at 12.0 Build 5842.

I'm ready to be done with the lag!

Thanks,

-David

Surely this update will be released to those who purchased CS6 as well?  Can someone at Adobe confirm this??

-David

Strange.... Just uninstalled Dreamweaver and installed it again with the Adobe Application Manager app, it downloaded, installed and updated again to 12.0.1 but still can't find 12.1 update.

I logged in on https://creative.adobe.com, clicked on Apps, clicked on Donwload next to Dreamweaver Logo, Adobe Application Manager opens and I can download. No serial asked

After deleting all folders in /Applications starting with Adobe and also in Utilities and Application Support and reinstalling everything I finaly seem to have 12.1 :-)

Feels faster, but still if I have a large php document and type really fast rubish it can't keep up. But normaly I can't type that fast so no big deal I guess. But since I upgraded from a Dual Core MacBook Pro to the latest Retina 8-core it was much better anyway         

If have Code too, but I feel more comfortable with Dreamweaver. The design view is still useful sometimes (e.g. for imagemaps) but mainly I prefer the codecompletion in DW. Looks like Coda never heard off jQuery for example. Also detecting related files is useful so I can open related script or css files with just one click. I also like the fact that DW works locally and uploads automaticly when needed. Coda works only remote or local. And a staging server function is missing in Coda too. And since I'm a Creative Cloud user and pay for everything anyway I'm sticking to DW for now.

Maybe there are some plugins/addons that would make Coda life easier for me but since I couldn't even find a jQuery plugin I gave up.

Great! Now I'm having an either bigger issue........ sigh.....

When I save a file (cmd-s) the code editor window loses focus. So when I start typing after saving it just selects a file in the Files panel...

1. OS 10.8.2
2. I haven't seen this before the 12.1 update

3. I have three monitors, Dreamweaver is running on the center monitor with a second and third monitor to the left and right

4. Application Frame and Bar are on
5. Transferring files triggers the bug for me every time. I can trigger it as follows:
- bring focus to the source editor (click anywhere within the code)

- click Shift+CMD+U to upload the file I'm working on

- Files panel now has focus.  If I click the "Delete" key on the keyboard, Dreamweaver will ask if I want to delete the file I'm working on (I almost deleting my files all the time now, thank goodness for the delete prompt).

6. Screenshot of my DW workspace: http://i.imgur.com/n5urf.jpg

I'm having all sorts of typing lag, item selection lag, losing cursor, and things just not updating on screen. I am not seeing the high CPU use others see. It does seem DW only uses one or 2 cores.It is common to see those two cores jumping up to 25 to 50%. Usage drops off quickly.

If I turn off Related Files, DW CS6 (installed version - 12.0 5842 latest currently available via Help-Updates) is useable. But, I am working with WordPress sites so I switch back to CS5.5.

Vista-32 Ultimate fully updated (Service Pack 2 (Build 6002).

nVidia: GeForce GTX 560 Ti Drv 306.23
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU    Q6700

DW 12.0 is basically unusable. I am advising my friends that work with DW CS5 NOT to update. In addition I am now, looking for a better site design tool.

Hi Janaki,

Do you know will Dreamweaver 12.1 be released to those of us who purchased CS6 rather than the Creative Cloud subscription?  The slow typing issue is annoying and slows me down tremendously.

Thanks,

-David
