1. Re: homesite 5.5 resource window will not dock
Martin Jucker May 21, 2007 7:43 AM (in response to borlak)I remember I have had this problem too a while ago. As far as I know you have to fiddle with the registry - but maybe someone has a better solution. I can't see a button to attach a file here, so I show my registry-settings directly here - I hope this helps

charkins51 Jun 19, 2007 1:10 PM (in response to JeffW)Thank you, thank you. This little exercise (before I found your excellent post) wasted the better part of half a day. I'll definitely be keeping your site as a bookmark for future reference. Thanks again!

4. Re: homesite 5.5 resource window will not dock
pgael Aug 24, 2007 2:40 PM (in response to borlak)I'm having a similar problem with my Snippets window in Homesite 5. It used to dock in the resource window, but the snippets tab has now disappeared from the resource window and I cannot find a way to redock my snippets. The solution mentioned here will not work for me because there is no files list section in the snippets window, nor can I adjust the window to make a files list section appear.
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. This has been driving me crazy. :) Thanks! -

borlak Aug 25, 2007 6:59 AM (in response to pgael)did you try the registry hack the above guy mentioned?
I actually just got used to pressing F9 to bring up the resource window :P I found I liked having the extra space anyway.. but, looking at the registry settings he put up, those look quite promising -
6. Re: homesite 5.5 resource window will not dock
JeffW Oct 5, 2010 1:35 PM (in response to borlak)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\frmDockSnippets]
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
