When saving a HTML page in dreamweaver it saves the file as filename.htm ....anyone know how to make it save the file as filename.html without clicking save as and manually typing it in? Anyone else have this same problem?

i've wondered that also.

I have the same problem .... the only way to save it in html is to add atself index.html .

For some reason they made it difficult starting with DreamweaverMX. Search for the file "MMDocumentTypes.xml"

Mine was in C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Dreamweaver MX\Configuration\DocumentTypes\MMDocumentTypes.xml

Open that file in notepad, up at the top you will find this section...

Code:

	<documenttype id="HTML" internaltype="HTML" winfileextension="htm,html,shtml,shtm,stm,lasso,xhtml" macfileextension="html,htm,shtml,shtm,lasso,xhtml" file="Default.html" writebyteordermark="false">
		<TITLE>
			<MMString:loadString id="mmdocumenttypes_0" />
		</TITLE>
		<description>
			<MMString:loadString id="mmdocumenttypes_1" />
		</description>
	</documenttype>

In the winfileextension part change the order of html and htm so it looks like this...

winfileextension="html,htm,shtml,shtm,stm,lasso,xh tml

save the file, restart Dreamweaver, and that should do the trick!

Worked like a charm....thanks for the help. I would have never found that on my own.

Sometimes I wonder what I DON'T use!!!

Depending on the site of the moment it may be Dreamweaver, FrontPage2000 (only good for prototyping complex table structures), Visual InterDev (ASP), Homesite, HTML-Kit, UltraEdit, PFE32, and even the old reliable Notepad.exe.

Before they went to the "MX" series, it used to be easy to set right from Edit, Preferences. I have no idea why they buried it in an XML file.

Go figure!

some reason macromedia has these little annoying things in their software.

Homesite: when refreshing the directory and file list, it goes back to the root of the disk. So u have to click all the way to the map youre working in.
Solution: first select a file, then hit f5 to refresh. This is the only way you stay in the folder.

Fireworks: 'Save file as': click to the folder. But when u export, u clearly wanna export in the same folder u saved the file (at least i do). But no, you have to click all the way to that damn folder AGAIN. Plus when using the batch process for the 2nd time in a row, its in the root of the disk again. So you have to click all the way again.
For these fireworks points there is no solution as far as i know.

Annoying!
