Hmmm... Might it do any good to ask this question again? An Internet
search has turned up nothing but old discussions on the subject,
dating back several years and versions ago about DreamWeaver
"currently interacting with the server." Well maybe (I hope I hope)
someone has an answer for it.
I am helping to manage several sites on the Internet with DreamWeaver
CS4 running on a Mac with Leopard 10.6.2. We have configured check in/
check out for the site to prevent our site admins from stepping on one
another's work. Frequently when I try to upload a file, download a
file, expand a directory within a remote site directory, etc., I get a
pop up dialog box that says, "DreamWeaver is currently interacting
with the server..." bla, bla, bla. Then you have to click the OK
button to clear the dialog box before you can do anything else within
DreamWeaver. I don't think you can just press Enter to clear the
window, because it doesn't have focus. Aach!
I know that this behavior only happens when check in/out is enabled,
but we really need that feature. Has anyone from Adobe ever looked at
this problem? Are they trying to fix it? It's hard to believe from
what I've seen on the web that they don't know about it, but it was in
the last version too.
Is there a way to work around the problem that doesn't involve turning
off check in/out?
I really wonder why, since they put up a dialog box to stop you in
your tracks anyway, why didn't they write this thing just to queue up
the work with an option to cancel out if it takes too long? Surely
this could be managed better than its current design. Every time I see
that message I read it "DreamWeaver is currently preventing you from
doing your work." Yippee.
