[Tutor] Python on Windows and other processes

[Alan Trautman]

Hi Alan,

Dreamweaver used to, don't know about MX, maintain an ftp link on the system
http processes to see if any of it's managed pages have changed. I think it
possible that you have used the newer Python help pages that are provided
through http. Dreamweaver may be trying to "manage" that system as a site.
This would be a change to its site and it asks you if you want to save. It
doesn't really do any harm but I remember having problems maintain
separation between a site we managed manually and a dreamweaver site. I
believe it's another case of software being "helpful" unless you use it the
way they want.

I wouldn't worry about it but you can check dreamweaver's ftp managed pages
and make sure that none of your Python pages are in there.

HTH,
Alan

I remember getting this message fairly often when I was working in DW. 
It seemed to appear when a DW window got the focus again after loosing 
it. I'm not sure it's Python-related.

Sounds like the Twilight Zone to me :-)


Cheers.
