Hi there,
I need some help using Dreamweaver with Alias and Symbolic Links.
On my hosting provider I have a folder which is symbolic. Well symbolic in the sense that is points to other folders within my hosting space.
When trying to create a symbolic link on my computer it seems to work pretty o.k except for when I try and use Dreamweaver instead of Folder to navigate.
I have tried using Rainer Brockerhoff's XRay Software (http://www.brockerhoff.net/xray/) which did indeed create the symbolic link in both a reletaive and normal format (I did some testing therefore two types) and both were running fine until I used them in Dreamweaver. Dreamwevar simply did not recognise the folder and threw up the message "Can't find valid editor for this extension".
I have also tried using Alias (option + L) but this throws up another problem which demands the file to be copied in to my directory insteading of using the Alias as it's virtual path as such.
This is quite a frustrating thing to happen as I can't see why my UNIX based hosting provider can execute this action for me and Dreamweaver happily naviagte on there system yet when navigating around mine it seems to trip up.
I have tried searching the Internet for an answer and usually come up trumps but witht his one I'm a little stuck.
If any one can help with this matter I would greatly appreciate it.
