To select your editor, enter the path in the External Code Editor text box or click the Browse
button to choose the appropriate executable file.
Two editors, BBEdit for Macintosh and HomeSite for Windows, are integrated with Dreamweaver to varying
degrees. Both of the editors can be called from within Dreamweaver, and both have Dreamweaver buttons
for returning to the main program??”switching between the editor and Dreamweaver automatically updates
the page. Like Dreamweaver??™s internal HTML editor, BBEdit highlights the corresponding code to a selection
made in Dreamweaver; this property does not, however, extend to HomeSite. You specify and control your
external editor selection with the following options.
Enable BBEdit Integration (Macintosh only) option
Dreamweaver for Macintosh ships with this option activated. If you prefer to use another editor, deselect
this option. Uncheck this box to enable the External Code Editor fields.
Reload Modified Files option
The drop-down list for the Reload Modified Files setting offers three choices for working with an external
editor:
n Prompt: Detects when files are updated by another program and enables you to decide whether
to update them within Dreamweaver.
n Always: Updates the file in Dreamweaver automatically when the file is changed in an outside
program.
