IMO Uploading files to remote server when saved is counter-productive.  Just disable it.

Use Ctrl+S to save a file or Ctl+Q to save all files.  Then use Ctrl+U to upload.

Yes I find this annoying too, and I also find upload on save extremely useful.

This message seems to serve no useful purpose as it appears to be saying: I am uploading on your save, therefore I cannot upload on your save.

It is not a 'work around' to turn off upload on save, it just disables a useful feature.

You should contact Tech Support.  This is a user-to-user forum.

Wow this is a long running thread!

I've discovered, since having to start using check in/check out on a site with multiple editors ('put on save' being a minor version of this), that Dreamweaver is like a nosy neighbour, more concerned with what is going on outside than with your petty demands. So Dreamweaver is constantly checking to see whether any files are in use by anybody else. When it is good and ready it will allow you to interact with the server. If your connection is anything other than rocket powered you will spend ages waiting and looking at messages such as the above. It doesn't have the sense to stop and just check the file/s you want to put or get and then let you get on with it. And of course the bigger the site, the more checking it has to do. If your connection is really slow you will have the added pleasure of constant freezes, aberrant behaviour and crashes. I have this with CS4. I don't know if CS5 is any better. And don't expect any improvement on CS4. You are stuck with it.

Why are we responding to 2 & 3 year old threads??

I wish there was a way of specifying which folders to automatically upload on save. Perhaps there is?

Hit F1 (help) and search for "Cloaking."

Cloaking excludes specified folders/files from DW operations.

Uncloaking brings them back.

I mention this only because Spam Bots typically resurrect ancient discussions.  When I see a topic that hasn't had any life in it for 2-3 years, I often treat it as spam and ignore it.

If you have a question, feel free to start a new discussion.

CS 5 seems to be better, and since installing the CS5.5 trial on my Mac running CS4 seems to make it behave like it is supposed to. Doesn't seem to spend as much time hunting down files to synchronize while hanging my machine. Even if I decide to not upgrade to 5.5 for the moment, something in the install seemed to "fix" CS4.

Sounds too good to be true! If it is, it must be a file that is commonly accessed, rather than the app itself.
