I have a site which I built with an earlier DW3.
I have migrated the site to DW CS3 and chosen 'edit local files then upload'
as the option

However, when I try to open a local file for editing, DWCS3 appears to insist
on 'getting' the remote file and requires me to dialogue and answer"Do you wish
to overwrite local files" and Do you wish to get dependant files"
This suggests that despite my choice in the setup, DWCS3 is deciding to offer
the remote files for editing.
Am I missing something I should do?
Thanks.

Do you mean the automatic upload on save option? Uh oh.

Do you have checkin/checkout enabled? If so, are you the only one working on
the site?

Thanks for the response Murray

In the site definition box Editinf Files Part 3 there are 2 options .....
1.Edit local copies on my machine, then upload when ready.
2.Edit directly on server using local network
I have the first option checked.
This does not seem to be automatic upload on save option,.... however...its
when I OPEN the LOCALfile that it seems to log in to the server and GET the
remote copy, not present the local copy for editing.

Yes...I DO have check in and check out enabled in the Sharing Files, Part 2
box.

cheers

> I have the first option checked.

I wouldn't use that option, nor would I suggest anyone else use it UNLESS
you are supremely confident in your ability to not make mistakes.
Otherwise, it's a train wreck waiting to happen.

Which is why you are being prompted to overwrite your local copy. Are you
the only one working on that site? If so, you do not need, or even want the
CI/CO option.

Ok...Many thanks Murray.

That seems to resolve my problem.
I stlll dont understand the semantics DWCS3 have used in

"1.Edit local copies on my machine, then upload when ready."
which implies that I work local, then upload,

whereas
"2.Edit directly on server using local network"
implies that I am working on the remote copy.

but since the settings you suggested work, Ill not loose any sleep over it ;-)

Thanks again.
