What looks like temp files in Dreamweaver 8 file panel on OS X.4
If you are using OS X.4, have Spotlight on, and see odd number files in your web directories while using Dreamweaver 8 you need to hide your local web files from Spotlight. Simply:
- Open Spotlight from System Preferences
- Go to Privacy tab
- Add the folder of your local site to the list
Problem solved. Now all you need to do is clean up the odd files all over the place. What is going on with Spotlight that causes this? I don’t know but I was told to hide Spotlight and the problem goes away. At a guess, Spotlight is caching a copy of a opened file and that somehow conflicts with DW 8’s way of caching files.
