I'm reasonably familiar with DW-MX V 6.0 on Mac, but this one has me stumped.
Maybe I'm not as familiar as I thought?

My wife got a new machine and did a lot of file and folder rearranging but no
renaming. This has broken every image in all three of her sites. The code
points to the correct files. I've tried deleting and rebuiling the site maps
but this doesn't . Even deleting the images from the pages and
re-inserting doesn't bring them back. This morning I went into her prefs and
changed the INSERT window from 'text' to 'icons and text' and even the icon
images are broken. It seems that no matter where I should get an image, all I
get is the broken image icon.

Any ideas on what I need to do to fix this?

Did she do this in Finder or in DW?

If the former, then that's the cause. DW cannot track file moves any better
than file renames when you do them outside of DW. If this is the case, you
will have to remake every link.

It was done from the finder.

I have deleted images and re-inserted from the new file locations but they
still come back broken. And, as I mentioned, the links to the images show the
file path correctly. The site folders were moved but nothing inside them was
moved or renamed. And remember that the icons on the insert window are
broken too - that goes deeper than just folder moves.

Could this be a machine name change or disk name change? I don't see either
in the file paths anywhere.

Very poor decision.

Try this:

1. In the site definition for this site, copy the contents of the path to
the local root folder, and paste it into a reply.
2. In this site, create a new blank HTML page, drag and drop an image from
within this site onto the page, and before saving the page, copy the code
for the image and paste it into a reply.
3. Now save the page, and repeat the copy/paste operation.

Let's see what those reveal.

I think this is what you are asking for:

The current path:
file:///Macintosh HD/Users/newmachine/Desktop/BL/index.html

Source code on existing page:
<IMG SRC="image/steinhd1.gif" WIDTH=125 HEIGHT=108 BORDER=0 ALIGN=bottom>

> The current path:

The icons in the dw menus are also missing?
If you log onto this machine as a different User, do the icons show?

I think this is what you are asking for...

path:
file:///Macintosh HD/Users/newmachine/Desktop/BL/index.html


Image source code on problematic file:
<IMG SRC="image/steinhd1.gif" WIDTH=125 HEIGHT=108 BORDER=0 ALIGN=bottom>

Image source code on new page before save:
<img src="/image/steinhd1.gif" width="32" height="32">

file:///Macintosh HD/Users/newmachine/Desktop/BL/index.html

Can't seem to get the "attach code" to work right. The image source before the save and after are as above. Image is broken on the new page also.

Here is some additional info that might .

Not only are the icons in the 'insert" window broken, so are the icons
elsewhere.
For instance: From the Window menu/bindings, I'm seeing three options - Each
option has a broken icon to the left of the option. I'm not seeing this on my
machine.

It's almost like DW has decided it just isn't going to display images any more
- even the ones from the application.

Maybe a reinstall?

I created a second account on the machine and ran DW from there. Same thing - the application icons are broken.

reinstall.

You may need to remove some folders manually to get this solved, do a google
for a technote

Thank you Alan. It'll have to wait until tonight. I must go be a good daddy on Father's Day.

Will let you know how it goes and close the thread i- I hope!

I was unable to find an uninstaller. The reference you provided and other
searches on Google and elsewhere produced only CS3 uninstall stuff.

I deleted DW and deleted everything with dreamweaver or Macromedia in the
name. Reinstalled and got the same result.

Deleted everything again and copied everything from my working copy to her
machine. Still the same result.

Meanwhile, she's got three e-Commerce sites going out of date.

I have no choice but tell her to revert to HomePage.

I couldn't find a specific set of instructions for manually removing stuff
for dw MX / osx

did find this- it gives some folder paths.

in general, do a Find for Macromedia and then Dreamweaver, and move the
stuff if it's related to dw, or ask here.

some path got messed up when the drive was renamed or the system os was
updated.

Alan;

Yep - did all that. When I was done I ran Find again for 'Dreamwever,'
'Dream,' 'weaver,' and 'macromedia.' Then reinstalled. Then did it all again
using my copy.

We're not sure whether it was the moving of file or the renaming of the
drive/user due to replacement of the drive, but it had to be one of those two.
Either way, I think this one is unsolvable.

check the code, if the file path exists or not.

The path does exist. Even putting new images on new pages wouldn't work.

We've trashed the entire application. It wasn't worth more effort - three days was enough.

Thank you for the suggestion i will try it
