btw, I just had this problem myself. Homesite crashed once then when I restarted everything was undocked.
Even though I knew from my own notes how to redock most of them, the snippets tab was a bugger.
Oddly enough, *sometiems* the snippets tab will give you that move-to menu option to let you re-dock, but not always. Seems related to the order you redock tabs. Perhaps you just need to not have it be last.
Anyway, I had to add in some of those registry values (while HomeSite was closed) to redock it.
I'll add those details to my faq as soon as I get chance.
One note to add to that, it seems that the DockHost value for the tabs is sometimes slightly different.
Mine is:
"DockHost"="AllaireTabDockForm1"
If you look at the keys under
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Macromedia\HomeSite5\Docking\
you'll see that one of them is something like
AllaireTabDockForm0 or AllaireTabDockForm1
The DockHost values for the tabs should match that, so when you recreate the
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Macromedia\HomeSite5\Docking\frmDockSnippe ts]
DockHost string make sure it matches.
On a related matter, I noticed that there is a registry value :
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Macromedia\HomeSite5\ResourceTab]
"DockTabLock"="0"
I vaguely recall this being something to lock all the tabs so you can't undock them.
I can't find that in the HomeSite user interface at all. I'll test the registry value,
but does anyone know how you would change it in the HS UI?
thanks, later,
jeff
