Program: Dreamweaver MX 6.1
CPU: Athalon 1000 mhz 512 megs ram

I have a site that has around 5000 image files in it along with the site.

The probelm is that every time I try to save, Dreamweaver takes about 30-60 seconds to do it. Durring which the CPU usage is pegged at 100%

Is there any way to just simply write a file to disk without undergoing the incredibly time consuming task that dreamweaver does when you save a file?

I tried cloaking the images folder but that didn't work.

I want to just write the file do disk.... which should be instantaneous. But as it is now I have to sit around and wait for minutes everytime I want to save.

I'm about to get fed up with DW MX and go back to ColdFusion studio 5 if I can't get the damn files to save quickly.

Thanks for your help....

well I removed the images folder and it now takes around 10 seconds to save a file instead of minutes like before.

I turned my images folder into a virtual directory and moved it out of the site folder.

Of course now my site doesn't have any images... which makes design mode pretty much useless.... Not that it was any good at working with dynamic pages before.

I don't expect to see a solution to this problem here... Macromedia just needs to get bettre programmers.

But as it stands... Their product is junk.

I wish they never bought allaire.

Henry, you may want to try deselecting the Enable Cache option in your site definition settings.

You realize that you won't be able to use some Dreamweaver features such as the link checker.

If this doesn't matter to you, you may want to give it a try.

Hope this helps.
