dreamweaver mx panelsets - August 29, 2002

dreamweaver mx is really a great program, but what i miss is the option to save own panelsets. you can choose only between three modes (dw4, homesite coding and mx).
there is a simple solution for that:
export the the 'FloaterStates' key from the registry and save it with a discriptive name (eg. floaterset1.reg or mypanels1.reg).
i am on win xp, so the path to the key may be different to yours in windows - gladfully the regedit.exe has a search option :)
you can export the key by hand or use a batch file for each set.

my floaterset1.bat has the following line in it (make a new file in notepad and paste this line:
REGEDIT /E e:\floaterset1.reg "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Macromedia\Dreamweaver 6\FloaterStates"
and save it with the extension .bat .

-> e:\floaterset1.reg is the output name - to restore a panelset simply start it and say ok in the upcoming dialog.

so here is the trick - make for each panelset an own bat file and change the number for the output name.

nice, eh ?
