Article comparing PS to FW export sizes

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 18:42:06 GMT

Following links here and there and I ran across this article at Web Designer Wall:

According to the author's tests, Fireworks produces smaller files than Photoshop, which saves on page loading times and server bandwidth.

Difficulties with templates and CSS in DW CS3

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 23:24:40 GMT

I'm having difficulty with CS3 and templates.

I started a new site. I created an HTML file (with CSS for some formatting - colors and margins) and made a template from the HTML file, creating one editable region (plus the default two of the page title and the additional area in the header). I then created my site HTML files from this new template. When I tried updating the template, I got an error that I had nested editable regions in the HTML files. I checked the template, and I don't. I checked the HTML files and I did see two </body> tags at the end.

I started over. I updated my starting file and made a new template, overwriting my old one. I created new files from the new template. Although the HTML files display fine in the browsers, when I try to view them in Design View, this round DW doesn't render them with the CSS, and it did the first time.

What's going on, and can I get it to stop?

Thanks!

Fireworks Extensions and Vista

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 28 Aug 2007 18:26:35 GMT

In coming here one day, I spotted a link to the kuler extension for Fireworks CS3. I tried it, but couldn't get it to work. I had double-clicked on the extension package and the Extension Manager showed it as being installed, but it didn't show up in Fireworks anywhere. It's apparently a quirk of Vista. Rolinstone posted the solution on the: Fireworks CS3 kuler Extension Blog

I followed Rolinstone's advice: I navigated to the folder with the Extension Manager .exe, right-clicked on it, and selected "Run as administrator." For me, the kuler extension showed as installed, but disabled. I checked the check box, started Fireworks, and there it was. I think, if I want to install any other extensions, I will run the Extension Manager as administrator from the beginning.

Now, I'm looking forward to experimenting with the kuler extension!

cheers!

Hi Alan,

No, I'm not a poster at the other forum you mentioned, although I followed a link from here to t here and it looks like a good site.

So...no, you don't know me. I guess I just have a familiar face...er...posting style. :)

cheers!

Calendar auto shape

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 12 Jul 2007 21:33:56 GMT

Hello, first post here....

I've been using Fireworks MX (Studio) for years and just upgraded to CS3 Web Premium. In looking around Fireworks, I spotted some auto shapes in the Assets palette that I can't seem to find any info on. The help files describes the basic shapes, but not these new things, like the cylinder, box, cog, and calendar. Am I missing something? Can anyone point me to some info?

Thanks!
