    Need to restore site list

    symphonitron
      Dreamweaver crashed and my site list completely disappeared. (I'm referring to clicking on Manage Sites... Nothing there anymore.) I re-installed Dreamweaver and of course the list is still gone. I have too many sites to restore them manually but I'm on OS X 10.5.1 with Time Machine turned on, making regular backups to a 1 tb RAID.

      So I just need to find out where the preference file is that stores this info and retrieve it from backup. Does anyone know?

          The site definition information is stored in the registry on windows
          - I don't know about on OS X ?

          did you back them up by exporting and saving them as

          http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/9.0/help.html?content=WScbb6b82af5544594822510 a94ae8d65-7f3b.html

          or " Import and export site settings " on the help system.

          if you did - just restore them as explained in the help system.

          If you didn't back them up - you may well heave to do them all again
          manually - and then backup them up

            I found my own answer. You go into Users/[You]/Library/Application Support/Adobe
            Then you click Time Machine, go back to the most recent date it was working, click Restore, and it pulled the Adobe file out of the past date and replaced the current file. Now everything's back to normal.

              Maybe still a good idea to backup the settings - externally with the
              site files.

              Export Enables you to export a site’s settings as an XML file (*.ste).
              http://mm-exporter.joexx.de/ is a utility useful if you have a lot of
              sites
